External Services

Winden provides optional integration with external services for loading third-party Tailwind plugins. Core features work entirely offline.

Third-Party Tailwind Plugins:

When you use the @plugin directive with an external URL in your CSS configuration, Winden fetches the plugin module at compile time. For example: @plugin "https://esm.sh/daisyui@5";

  • Only activated when user explicitly adds a @plugin directive with a URL
  • Supports any ESM-compatible CDN (esm.sh, unpkg, jsdelivr, etc.)
  • Plugin fetching only occurs during development mode compilation
  • In production mode with dev mode disabled, no external requests are made
  • No user data or site information is transmitted
