Install Preline UI with Ember.js using Tailwind CSS

Install Preline UI with Tailwind CSS in Ember.js projects, including JavaScript plugin setup, route rescans, element modifiers, and optional dependencies.

Ember.js quick setup

If Tailwind CSS is not set up yet, start with the official Ember.js + Tailwind CSS guide first.

Install Preline UI

Install preline with your preferred package manager.

Terminal

                          
                            npm install preline

Preline UI uses the Tailwind CSS Forms plugin across form components. Install it if you have not already: npm install -D @tailwindcss/forms

Import Preline CSS and source files

Import variants.css into app/styles/app.css after the tailwindcss import, then add the @source entry for Preline UI JavaScript.

app/styles/app.css

                          
                            @import "tailwindcss";
                
                            /* Preline UI */
                            @import "../../node_modules/preline/variants.css";
                            @source "../../node_modules/preline/dist/*.js";
                
                            /* Plugins */
                            /* @plugin "@tailwindcss/forms"; */

                            /* Preline Themes */
                            @import "./themes/theme.css";

See the Theme docs to learn more about Preline Themes.

Add Preline UI to the app entry

Import Preline UI in your application entry file, app/app.js.

app/app.js

                          
                            import 'preline'

Load assets in the root template

With Ember's entry points configured, render the generated assets in your application's root template.
<!doctype html> <head> {{!-- ... --}} {{content-for "head"}} </head> <body> {{content-for "body"}} </body>
```
                          
                        
```

Preline UI ships with a small set of opinionated base styles. If you want them in your project, add them to your CSS file. These defaults used to come bundled with Tailwind CSS v3, so they are still available as an optional layer in Preline UI.

CSS

                        
                          /* Adds pointer cursor to buttons */
                          @layer base {
                            button:not(:disabled),
                            [role="button"]:not(:disabled) {
                              cursor: pointer;
                            }
                          }

                          /* Defaults hover styles on all devices */
                          @custom-variant hover (&:hover);
