This utility converts Tachyon classes to a style object that can be used by Stitches
`styled` or `css` functions. Many colors are not an exact match between the two systems.
Tachyons colors are converted to the closest token value.

Theme tokens are referenced from the theme object that is imported from the `wpds-ui-kit` package.

```javascript
import { theme } from "@washingtonpost/wpds-ui-kit";
```

## Installation

Add tailwind to your project by following their specific [framework guides](https://tailwindcss.com/docs/installation/framework-guides).

Install the theme package from npm

```js
npm install -D @washingtonpost/wpds-tailwind-theme;
```

<br />

Add the theme to your tailwind.config.js. It's strongly recommended to override the default theme to prevent the accidental use of Tailwind's color variables and scale values. Tailwind's [preflight](https://tailwindcss.com/docs/preflight) base styles should be disabled.

```jsx demoHeight="200"
const WPDSTheme = require("@washingtonpost/wpds-tailwind-theme");

module.exports = {
  content: [
   ...
  ],
  corePlugins: {
    preflight: false,
  },
  theme: WPDSTheme,
};
```

<br />

Ensure that the WPDS fonts and css variables are available on the page if they are not already installed.

```jsx
// _app.js or other main script file
// also available from @washingtonpost/wpds-ui-kit
import { getCssText, globalStyles } from "@washingtonpost/wpds-theme";

const style = document.createElement("style");
// cssText contains the wpds css variables
style.innerHTML = getCssText();
document.head.appendChild(style);

// global styles adds wpds fonts
globalStyles();
```

## Token Naming

The following tokens are used from the WPDS.

- color
- size
- fonts
- fontSize
- fontWeights
- lineHeight
- radii
- shadow
- z-index

The wpds token names and scales for each value replace the Tailwind name and scale.

For example when setting lineHeight `<p class="leading-normal">` becomes `<p class="leading-150">`

## Example

<Box css={{ display: "flex", justifyContent: "center" }}>
  <div>
    <h1 className="font-headline text-200 text-primary mt-0 mb-025">
      {`Headline`}
    </h1>
    <h2 className="font-subhead font-light text-150 mt-0 mb-025">
      {`Subheadline`}
    </h2>
    <p className="font-body text-100 mt-0 mb-025">Body text</p>
    <div className="font-meta text-075 text-accessible mb-100">Meta text</div>
  </div>
</Box>
```jsx
<h1 className="font-headline text-200 text-primary mt-0 mb-025">Headline</h1>
<h2 className="font-subhead font-light text-150 leading-200 mt-0 mb-025">
  Subheadline
</h2>
<p className="font-body text-100 mt-0 mb-025">Body text</p>
<div className="font-meta text-075 text-accessible mb-100">Meta text</div>
```
