# Tailwind to StyleX Converter

Convert a Tailwind CSS v4 theme, design-token JSON, or a static Tailwind config into StyleX constants and TypeScript declarations.

**Use this tool:** [Tailwind to StyleX Converter](https://findutils.com/developers/tailwind-to-stylex/)

## Programmatic access

- REST id `tailwind-to-stylex`: POST https://api.findutils.com/api/tools/tailwind-to-stylex/execute (reference: https://findutils.com/api/tailwind-to-stylex/)
- MCP tool `tailwind_to_stylex` on https://mcp.findutils.com (reference: https://findutils.com/mcp/tailwind-to-stylex/)

## Why Convert Tailwind Tokens to StyleX?

A shared token layer keeps colors, spacing, typography, radii, shadows, and breakpoints consistent during a Tailwind-to-StyleX migration. This converter turns the source theme into named StyleX constants without executing the uploaded config.

## Tips for a Reliable Conversion

- Use semantic names such as --color-action and --radius-card when the tokens describe product roles.
- Keep automatic detection for complete files. Select a format when you paste only an object fragment.
- Review every warning before you replace an existing Tailwind theme.
- Dynamic JavaScript functions and plugin calls need manual migration because the converter never executes uploaded code.
- Keep the original theme in version control until visual review confirms the migration.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What input formats does the converter support?

It supports Tailwind CSS v4 @theme variables, ordinary CSS custom properties, JSON token objects, and static theme objects from JavaScript or TypeScript Tailwind configs.

### Does the converter execute my Tailwind config?

No. It reads the file as text and parses supported static values. It rejects dynamic references, functions, plugin calls, and template expressions.

### What files can I download?

You can download tokens.stylex.js and tokens.stylex.d.ts. The first file contains StyleX constants. The second provides TypeScript declarations.

### Does it support Tailwind CSS v4 @theme variables?

Yes. It maps Tailwind theme namespaces such as color, spacing, font, text, radius, shadow, and breakpoint into named StyleX groups.

### Can it convert a custom design-token JSON file?

Yes. It accepts nested JSON objects, Tailwind-style theme and extend objects, and token values stored under a $value property.

### How are CSS variable aliases handled?

The converter resolves simple var(--token-name) references when the referenced token exists in the same source. It reports unresolved references as warnings.

### Is this an official tailwind-stylex tool?

No. FindUtils is not affiliated with the tailwind-stylex project. The generated constants follow a compatible StyleX token structure.

### What needs manual review after conversion?

Review dynamic config logic, plugin-generated values, keyframes, complex breakpoint objects, and any unresolved CSS variables. The converter reports these cases when it can identify them.
