I'm currently using WordPress and Tailwind CSS, specifically Tailpress, and I'd like to take in all css
files from ./resources/css/components
and output to ./css/components
, running postcss and whatever processing is necessary. The rest of the project is configured to output from ./resources/css
to ./css
and works fine. I tried adding css/components
, css/components/
, css/components/*
and some other intuitive syntaxes, but to no avail. I've tried googling for quite a while and searching the docs and stackoverflow and can't find anything on outputting an entire directory of files.
I know bundlers like rollup or vite could take in files and output obscurified or semi-random file names and they have often config for keeping the file names the same. Am I looking in the wrong place thinking the tailwindcss CLI could do this? The rest of the project uses the tailwindcss CLI for the individual app.css
and editor-style.css
input and output, but we do have esbuild
for JS only. Here are the scripts in the package.json
which is the default Tailpress one with my added (not working) component CSS scripts:
