Safe class names

Some email clients don't support class names with escaped characters. Gmail in particular will discard the entire rule of such a class, so you can't safely use CSS class names like w-1/2 or sm:block.

Maizzle normalizes escaped character class names like \: or \/ by replacing them with email-safe alternatives, so you can keep using those fancy Tailwind CSS class names and not have to worry about it.

Replacements

This is the default replacement strategy:

CharacterReplacement
:-
/-
%pc
._
,_
#_
[(removed)
](removed)
((removed)
)(removed)
{{
}}
!important-
&and-
<lt-
=eq-
>gt-
|or-
@at-
?q-
\-
"-
$-
'-
*-
+-
;-
^-
`-
~-

Customization

You may define new replacement mappings (or overwrite existing ones) by adding a safeClassNames key to your config.

For example:

config.js
module.exports = {
  safeClassNames: {
    ':': '__',
    '!': 'i-',
  }
}

That would turn sm:w-full into sm__w-full and sm:!text-xl into sm__i-text-xl.

Disabling

You can prevent Maizzle from rewriting your class names with safe characters, by setting this option to false:

config.js
module.exports = {
  safeClassNames: false,
}

API

You may use the safeClassNames Transformer in your application.

app.js
const {safeClassNames} = require('@maizzle/framework')

const html = await safeClassNames(
  '<div class="sm:text-left w-1.5">foo</div>', // html string
  {'.': 'dot'} // replacements object
)

Result:

<div class="sm-text-left w-1dot5">foo</div>
