Prettier Plugin Tailwindcss
This project is a Prettier plugin and Tailwind CSS class sorter that automatically organizes utility classes into a consistent and recommended order. It functions as a frontend styling formatter and CSS utility organizer, removing duplicate classes and sorting style attributes across HTML and JavaScript files.
The tool ensures consistent markup formatting by ordering utility classes within HTML attributes, template literals, JavaScript expressions, and custom framework props. It integrates with Tailwind CSS configuration files and stylesheets to synchronize sorting behavior with custom theme definitions and design tokens.
The system handles class list cleanup to remove unnecessary whitespace and provides a programmable interface for exposing sorting logic to external tools.
