Tailwind build process WASM

[pjebs]

Now that it is has been written in Rust, is it possible to make it available as a wasm-compiled module?

I am building an "online IDE" and need a way to run the CSS optimizer on the code that people write.

Essentially, I'm asking for it to be run on the browser somehow.

See #16191 (comment) about misconception about Tailwind being written in Rust and see #13133 (comment) about a WASM build.

Does the CDN version optimise the CSS and remove unnecessary junk?

[wongjn]

I don't believe it optimizes the CSS. Tailwind only generates CSS rules for class names it sees. Also note, as per the documentation:

The Play CDN is designed for development purposes only, and is not intended for production.

That's why I was asking in my original question about Tailwind providing some kind of browser-compatible tool to do that.
