The current standalone tailwind CLI does not support external plugins like DaisyUI. It would be great if external plugins could be supported in the next CLI version, it will reduce the need to use npm for some projects.
Thanks, that looks like what I was looking for, did not find that when I looked few months back. I tried it now and had some issues with SIP check on macOS, started a discussion in the repo.
Don't you need to use npm to install DaisyUI though? If you have to install third party plugins using node already to me the solution is to use our actual node CLI instead of the standalone one.
The way I was thinking this would work is that the standalone CLI could be configured to pick up plugins from a specified location. That way as long as the plugins are setup locally in the required format, the standalone CLI would be able to load them. The setup process need not require npm.
There is a sibling comment which mentioned a project which is trying to bundle DaisyUI specifically with the standalone CLI. That would solve my use case but will not be a generic solution for other plugins.
