What Tailwind CSS Config Generator does, with a checked example
This tool assembles the theme.extend block of a tailwind.config.js file from form fields instead of hand-written JavaScript. You name a custom color, a spacing value, or a breakpoint, and it returns the config snippet that registers them, ready to paste into your project. The mistake that trips most people: adding entries under theme.colors rather than theme.extend.colors. That replaces Tailwind's entire default palette, so bg-red-500 and every stock color silently stops working. Keep custom entries under extend and the defaults survive alongside them.
Worked example
A concrete input and expected output from the current implementation.
Input
Color: brand = #0F766E
Spacing: 18 = 4.5rem
Breakpoint: 3xl = 1792px
->
Expected output
theme: {
extend: {
colors: {
brand: '#0F766E',
},
spacing: {
18: '4.5rem',
},
screens: {
'3xl': '1792px',
},
},
} The spacing value follows Tailwind's scale convention, where each integer unit equals 0.25rem, so 18 becomes 4.5rem (18 x 0.25). Because the entries sit under extend, they merge with the defaults: brand adds text-brand and bg-brand beside the stock palette, and 3xl adds a min-width 1792px responsive prefix after the default 2xl screen.
