The basic preset for UnoCSS, with only the most essential utilities.

Source Code

Installation

pnpm

pnpm add -D @unocss/preset-mini

yarn

yarn add -D @unocss/preset-mini

npm

npm install -D @unocss/preset-mini

// uno.config.ts
import { defineConfig } from 'unocss'
import presetMini from '@unocss/preset-mini'

export default defineConfig({
  presets: [
    presetMini(),
    // ...other presets
  ],
})

TIP

This preset is included in the unocss package, you can also import it from there:

import { presetMini } from 'unocss'

Rules

This preset is a subset of @unocss/preset-wind, containing only the most essential utilities aligned with CSS's properties, but excludes opinioned or complicated utilities introduced in Tailwind CSS (container, animation, gradient etc.). This can be a good starting point for your own custom preset on top of familiar utilities from Tailwind CSS or Windi CSS.

Features

Dark mode

By default, this preset generates class-based dark mode with dark: variant.

<div class="dark:bg-red:10" />

will generate:

.dark .dark\:bg-red\:10 {
  background-color: rgb(248 113 113 / 0.1);
}

To opt-in media query based dark mode, you can use @dark: variant:

<div class="@dark:bg-red:10" />

@media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) {
  .\@dark\:bg-red\:10 {
    background-color: rgb(248 113 113 / 0.1);
  }
}

Or set globally with the config for dark: variant

presetMini({
  dark: 'media'
})

CSS @layer

CSS's native @layer is supported with variant layer-xx:

<div class="layer-foo:p4" />
<div class="layer-bar:m4" />

will generate:

@layer foo {
  .layer-foo\:p4 {
    padding: 1rem;
  }
}
@layer bar {
  .layer-bar\:m4 {
    margin: 1rem;
  }
}

Theme

You can fully customize your theme property in your config, and UnoCSS will eventually deeply merge it to the default theme.

presetMini({
  theme: {
    // ...
    colors: {
      'veryCool': '#0000ff', // class="text-very-cool"
      'brand': {
        'primary': 'hsl(var(--hue, 217) 78% 51%)', //class="bg-brand-primary"
      }
    },
  }
})
