Libraries and tw-merge

[felipedeboni]

Hey,

I have the following scenario:

• Package A: It extends tailwind-merge using extendTailwindMerge.
• App: it consumes Package A but also needs to extend tailwind-merge further. This way, when any component from Package A is called, twMerge will be aware of the app-specific classes.

Any way to solve it?

Thanks :)

Hey @felipedeboni! 👋

Package A needs to give the app a way to configure tailwind-merge, e.g. by allowing to hook into the call to extendTailwindMerge.

Thanks! In this case, I will be monkey patching it :)

Ah yeah, if you don't have access to Package A, it becomes quite complicated. For patching third-party libraries I can recommend https://github.com/ds300/patch-package.

I've used this package for years, now with pnpm I can patch it directly. Works like a charm :D
