Reopen issue #20035
As discussed in PR https://github.com/tailwindlabs/tailwindcss/pull/19942, it would be great if the Vite plugin exposed an option to configure polyfills.
Currently, when
optimize: falseis set and the project targets browsers through Vite instead, there does not seem to be a way to disable Tailwind’s generated polyfills.I’d like to propose adding a
polyfillsoption alongside optimize in the Vite plugin configuration. This would allow users to either disable polyfills entirely during compilation, or selectively keep only the ones they need.
