Tailwind CSS for Flutter.
Utility-first styling that turns className strings into optimized Flutter widget trees. If you know Tailwind, you already know Wind.
Documentation · Getting started · pub.dev · Issues
Flutter's structural styling costs you a six widget pyramid for a rounded card with a hover state, and the Flutter team has acknowledged the verbosity itself. Wind is the styling layer that closes the gap: one string, one widget, the same utility names you already write on the web.
WDiv(
className: 'p-6 mx-4 bg-white dark:bg-gray-800 rounded-xl shadow-lg',
child: WText('Hello', className: 'text-xl font-bold'),
)The same thing in raw Flutter (click to show)
Container(
padding: EdgeInsets.all(24),
margin: EdgeInsets.symmetric(horizontal: 16),
decoration: BoxDecoration(
color: Colors.white,
borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(12),
boxShadow: [
BoxShadow(color: Colors.black.withOpacity(0.1), blurRadius: 10, offset: Offset(0, 4)),
],
),
child: Text('Hello', style: TextStyle(fontSize: 20, fontWeight: FontWeight.bold)),
)Wind is a styling engine, not a widget catalogue. It composes with whatever component library you already use.
flutter pub add fluttersdk_windWrap the app once, then style everything with strings:
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:fluttersdk_wind/fluttersdk_wind.dart';
void main() => runApp(const App());
class App extends StatelessWidget {
const App({super.key});
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return WindTheme(
data: WindThemeData(),
builder: (context, controller) => MaterialApp(
theme: controller.toThemeData(),
home: const Home(),
),
);
}
}
class Home extends StatelessWidget {
const Home({super.key});
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return WDiv(
className: '''
flex flex-col gap-4 p-6
bg-white dark:bg-gray-800
rounded-xl shadow-lg
md:flex-row md:gap-6
ios:rounded-2xl
hover:shadow-xl
''',
children: [
WText('Wind', className: 'text-xl font-bold text-gray-900 dark:text-white'),
WButton(
className: 'px-4 py-2 rounded-lg bg-blue-500 dark:bg-blue-600 hover:bg-blue-600',
onTap: () {},
child: const WText('Get started', className: 'text-white font-medium'),
),
],
);
}
}That runs as written. No MouseRegion, no setState, no _isHovered boolean, no MediaQuery branch for the tablet layout.
- The Tailwind vocabulary you already know.
flex,p-4,bg-blue-500,rounded-lg,shadow-md, parsed by 20 token parsers. Classes paste between a web project and a Flutter one unmodified. - 27 W-prefix widgets.
WDiv,WText,WButton,WInput,WSelect,WPopover,WDatePicker,WCard,WTabs,WBadge,WSwitch,WRadio,WDynamic, and fiveFormFieldwrappers that drop straight into a FlutterForm. - Prefixes that stack.
dark:,sm:to2xl:,hover:/focus:/disabled:/loading:/selected:, andios:/android:/web:/mobile:/macos:/windows:/linux:for the cases where one platform genuinely differs. - A theme you own. 24
WindThemeDatafields covering every token scale: colors, spacing, typography, shadows, breakpoints, animations. Defaults track Tailwind's own.aliaseslet you name a bare token once and use it everywhere. - Variant composition.
WindRecipeandWindSlotRecipebuild a className (or a per-slot map) from a base, variant axes, compound variants and a caller override, in a strict emission order with no merge magic to reason about. - Forms that behave on a phone. A focused field lifts the whole input clear of the keyboard and of the keyboard toolbar above it, not just the line the caret sits on. A control with an
onTapis one traversal stop and activates on Enter, Space, a gamepad A button and a TV remote. - Server-driven UI.
WDynamicrenders a widget tree from JSON against a whitelist of 13 Wind widgets and 16 Flutter core widgets, so a layout change can ship without a store release. - Written for agents as much as for people. A canonical skill, a hosted MCP server and an
llms.txtinventory, all maintained in this repository.
| Rule | What it means |
|---|---|
| Prefix order | <state>:<breakpoint>:<dark>:<platform>:<utility>, and prefixes stack freely. |
| Conflicts | The last class in a family wins. p-2 p-6 is padding 6. |
| Dark mode | Every color token carries its dark: pair in the SAME className. A missing pair is a bug, and the parser says so once in kDebugMode. |
| Unknown tokens | Dropped silently in release, named once in debug. A typo never throws and never renders a red screen. |
| Spacing scale | One step is 4 logical pixels, so p-4 is 16. Font size and tracking are pixel based too. |
| Caching | A parsed className is cached on className + breakpoint + brightness + platform + states, so rebuilds cost a map lookup. |
Wind is not a literal Tailwind port. Transforms, filters, group-* / peer-*, container queries and @apply have no Flutter counterpart and are deliberately out of scope; the full list lives in the docs.
Wind ships its own agent surface rather than hoping a model guessed right:
npx skills add fluttersdk/ai --skill wind-uiThe skill at skills/wind-ui/SKILL.md is the source of truth for the className grammar, the widget surface, the dark-mode pairing rule and the anti-patterns. fluttersdk/ai distributes it to Claude Code, Cursor, OpenCode, Gemini CLI, VS Code Copilot, Codex CLI, Cline and Roo Code. The hosted MCP server at mcp.fluttersdk.com exposes a search-docs tool over Streamable HTTP with no auth, and npx @fluttersdk/mcp bridges it for stdio-only clients. The machine-readable package inventory is llms.txt.
Full documentation with live previews is at fluttersdk.com/wind: every widget, every parser token, the theme fields, dark mode, responsive design, WDynamic, and the AI setup. Upgrading from an earlier release? See the upgrade guide. Internals live in ARCHITECTURE.md.
The example/ directory is the same gallery the docs site embeds:
cd example && flutter pub get
flutter run -d chromeRequires Flutter 3.27.0 and Dart 3.4.0 or newer. Stable since 1.0, MIT licensed, and the only runtime dependencies are flutter_svg and the diagnostics contracts package.
git clone https://github.com/fluttersdk/wind.git
cd wind && flutter pub getNew behaviour ships with a failing test first. Before opening a pull request, run what CI runs:
dart format --output=none --set-exit-if-changed .
dart analyze
flutter test
./tool/coverage.sh 90
dart pub publish --dry-runCI enforces 90% line coverage on lib/, zero analyzer issues and zero format drift.

Wind is the styling layer of the fluttersdk ecosystem, and it works perfectly well on its own.
If Wind saved you a Container or two, give it a star, it helps others find it.
