Support tailwindlabs/tailwindcss-jit

Is it planned to generate minimal css with the new tailwindlabs/tailwindcss-jit instead of purging from the traditional huge set of Tailwind classes?

In my use case the files generated by Maizzle become templates consumed by another templating system (.eex / Elixir). As those .eex templates should be up to date during development on each edit, I do a maizzle build production of all templates on each save. For this use case it would be relevant to improve the build times with tailwindlabs/tailwindcss-jit.

I would be happy to contribute with a PR if you have a hint where to start.

Using Tailwind’s own purging has now been implemented in #432, and we’ll soon publish a new release.

Remember, to use JIT you will (currently) need to:

1. enable it only for maizzle serve or maizzle build (and not for any other environment, because of https://github.com/tailwindlabs/tailwindcss/issues/4071)
2. also specify the purge option in your tailwind.config.js, in simplified array syntax (it throws an error and Maizzle build hangs if you omit it or set it to an object, see https://github.com/tailwindlabs/tailwindcss/issues/4094)

Example:

module.exports = {
  mode: process.env.NODE_ENV === 'local' ? 'jit' : 'aot', // all `maizzle build` commands that specify an environment name will use 'aot'
  purge: [
    'src/**/*.*',
  ],
  // ...
}

Yes we’ll definitely add support for it, just need a bit more time to make sure we don’t break anything and that it works as expected.
