Goodmorning,
Maybe a stupid question, but why not enrich the first config with the data of the second config? You can add these colors easily to the first config.

I am using a admin template on one of my laravel project and here are the files:
tailwind.config.js
const colors = require("tailwindcss/colors");
const {
toRGB,
withOpacityValue,
} = require("@left4code/tw-starter/dist/js/tailwind-config-helper");
module.exports = {
mode: "jit",
content: [
"./resources/**/*.blade.php",
"./resources/**/*.js",
"./resources/**/*.jsx",
"./resources/**/*.vue",
],
theme: {
extend: {
colors: {
rgb: toRGB(colors),
primary: withOpacityValue("--color-primary"),
secondary: withOpacityValue("--color-secondary"),
success: withOpacityValue("--color-success"),
info: withOpacityValue("--color-info"),
warning: withOpacityValue("--color-warning"),
pending: withOpacityValue("--color-pending"),
danger: withOpacityValue("--color-danger"),
light: withOpacityValue("--color-light"),
dark: withOpacityValue("--color-dark"),
slate: {
50: withOpacityValue("--color-slate-50"),
100: withOpacityValue("--color-slate-100"),
200: withOpacityValue("--color-slate-200"),
300: withOpacityValue("--color-slate-300"),
400: withOpacityValue("--color-slate-400"),
500: withOpacityValue("--color-slate-500"),
600: withOpacityValue("--color-slate-600"),
700: withOpacityValue("--color-slate-700"),
800: withOpacityValue("--color-slate-800"),
900: withOpacityValue("--color-slate-900"),
},
darkmode: {
50: withOpacityValue("--color-darkmode-50"),
100: withOpacityValue("--color-darkmode-100"),
200: withOpacityValue("--color-darkmode-200"),
300: withOpacityValue("--color-darkmode-300"),
400: withOpacityValue("--color-darkmode-400"),
500: withOpacityValue("--color-darkmode-500"),
600: withOpacityValue("--color-darkmode-600"),
700: withOpacityValue("--color-darkmode-700"),
800: withOpacityValue("--color-darkmode-800"),
900: withOpacityValue("--color-darkmode-900"),
},
},
fontFamily: {
roboto: ["Roboto"],
},
container: {
center: true,
},
maxWidth: {
"1/4": "25%",
"1/2": "50%",
"3/4": "75%",
},
strokeWidth: {
0.5: 0.5,
1.5: 1.5,
2.5: 2.5,
},
},
},
plugins: [require("@tailwindcss/forms")],
variants: {
extend: {
boxShadow: ["dark"],
},
},
}
and this, is my current webpack.mix.js
const mix = require('laravel-mix');
mix.js('resources/admin-template/js/app.js', 'public/assets/js/admin-template.js')
.js('resources/js/app.js', 'public/assets/js')
.react()
.sass('resources/sass/app.scss', 'public/assets/css')
.postCss("resources/admin-template/css/app.css", "public/assets/css/admin-template.css");
and here is my current postcss.config.js
module.exports = {
plugins: [
require("postcss-import"),
require("postcss-advanced-variables"),
require("tailwindcss/nesting"),
require("tailwindcss")("./tailwind.config.js"),
require("autoprefixer"),
],
};
Now, I had separately created frontend design, and it has this tailwind.config.js
module.exports = {
content: ['./*.html'],
theme: {
extend: {
colors: {
'primary': '#1A1C29',
'primary-light': '#2A2D3E',
'theme-blue': '#2563eb',
'theme-green': '#06D594',
'light-gray': '#999ba6',
'yellow': '#FFFF00',
'gold': '#facc15',
'red': '#FF0000'
},
fontFamily:{
'poppins': ['Poppins', 'sans-serif'],
'roboto' : ['Roboto', 'sans-serif']
},
fontSize:{
'xxs': '.63rem',
},
screens:{
'sm': '575px',
},
},
},
}
Now, I have this css on resources/css/front.css, now how could I compile on this laravel project by using this second tailwind config value for front .css only.
I have tried this by adding this line on webpack. But, its not compiling correctly, its using different colors combination.
.postCss("resources/css/front.css", "public/assets/css/front.css");
What would be the best and safest to handle this scenario with single tailwind.config.js
