Vanilla JavaScript support for Tailwind Plus

Summary

There are a lot of UI blocks in Tailwind Plus that need JavaScript to really be useful, like dialogs, dropdowns, command palettes, and more. And unless you're a React or Vue user, using those UI blocks has always meant writing all of that tricky JavaScript yourself. Well today that finally changes — every UI block in Tailwind Plus is now fully functional, accessible, and interactive, including the plain HTML examples. Now you can use any dropdown, command palette, dialog, drawer, and more in any project you're working on — no JavaScript framework required. To pull this off, we built @tailwindplus/elements — a library we're releasing exclusively for Tailwind Plus customers. Elements is a collection of headless custom elements that wrap up all of the complex behavior needed to build custom interactive UIs using just HTML, and can be styled any way you like using utility classes or custom CSS. Instead of being coupled to a specific JavaScript framework, these custom elements work anywhere you can use a <script> tag: index.html<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@tailwindplus/elements@1" type="module"></script> Here's what it look like to build a custom dropdown menu with Elements: <el-dropdown class="relative inline-block text-left"> <button class="inline-flex w-full justify-center gap-x-1.5 rounded-md bg-white px-3 py-2 text-sm font-semibold text-gray-900 shadow-xs ring-1 ring-gray-300 ring-inset hover:bg-gray-50"> Options <svg viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="currentColor" aria-hidden="true" class="-mr-1 size-5 text-gray-400"> <path d="M5.22 8.22a.75.75 0 0 1 1.06 0L10 11.94l3.72-3.72a.75.75 0 1 1 1.06 1.06l-4.25 4.25a.75.75 0 0 1-1.06 0L5.22 9.28a.75.75 0 0 1 0-1.06Z" clip-rule="evenodd" fill-rule="evenodd" /> </svg> </button> <el-menu anchor="bottom end" popover class="w-56 origin-top-right rounded-md bg-white shadow-lg ring-1 ring-black/5 transition transition-discrete [--anchor-gap:--spacing(2)] focus:outline-hidden data-closed:scale-95 data-closed:transform data-...
