Tried this with my current deployment on Heroku, unfortunately I ran into the problem that I was generating the CSS (using npm run build) at the heroku-postbuild stage whereas Python packages (needed to resolve pySitePackages) are installed after that point. I'm not sure how to run the script late enough to resolve pySitePackages correctly when deploying on Heroku.

It is better to use Docker to deploy on Heroku.

You can check https://github.com/AccordBox/django-tailwind-alpine-htmx to see how I deploy it on Heroku (which also use this project)

Thx.

Hi @michael-yin

thanks for your answer! We've already addressed the issue with adding a link to Carltons blog to our docs. Here's the commit: 4422619

I know his solution works. Do you think that'll work for you?

Supplemental: I still think about adding Carltons solution to this package so people don't have to fiddle around with the configuration.

It seems the solution focus on Django templates.

What if css class are written in Python code? https://github.com/django-crispy-forms/crispy-tailwind/blob/main/crispy_tailwind/layout.py

Would it work?

Thx.

Hi @michael-yin !

As far as I understand Carltons script, all Django apps (also the ones from third-party) will be added for the Tailwind CLI.
Please have a look at this management command, and check for yourself.

If you don't agree, I'd be happy to update the docs accordingly.
