preset-mini	Minimal preset with essential utilities for UnoCSS

Preset Mini

The minimal preset with only essential rules and variants. Good starting point for custom presets.

Installation

import { defineConfig, presetMini } from 'unocss'

export default defineConfig({
  presets: [
    presetMini(),
  ],
})

What's Included

Subset of preset-wind3 with essential utilities aligned to CSS properties:

• Basic spacing (margin, padding)
• Display (flex, grid, block, etc.)
• Positioning (absolute, relative, fixed)
• Sizing (width, height)
• Colors (text, background, border)
• Typography basics (font-size, font-weight)
• Borders and border-radius
• Basic transforms and transitions

What's NOT Included

Opinionated or complex Tailwind utilities:

• container
• Complex animations
• Gradients
• Advanced typography
• Prose classes

Use Cases

1. Building custom presets - Start with mini and add only what you need
2. Minimal bundle size - When you only need basic utilities
3. Learning - Understand UnoCSS core without Tailwind complexity

Dark Mode

Same as preset-wind3:

presetMini({
  dark: 'class' // or 'media'
})

<div class="dark:bg-red:10" />

Class-based:

.dark .dark\:bg-red\:10 {
  background-color: rgb(248 113 113 / 0.1);
}

Media query:

@media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) {
  .dark\:bg-red\:10 {
    background-color: rgb(248 113 113 / 0.1);
  }
}

CSS @layer Variant

Native CSS layer support:

<div class="layer-foo:p4" />

@layer foo {
  .layer-foo\:p4 {
    padding: 1rem;
  }
}

Theme Customization

presetMini({
  theme: {
    colors: {
      veryCool: '#0000ff',
      brand: {
        primary: 'hsl(var(--hue, 217) 78% 51%)',
      }
    },
  }
})

Note: breakpoints property is overridden, not merged.

Options

presetMini({
  // Dark mode: 'class' | 'media' | { light: string, dark: string }
  dark: 'class',
  
  // Generate [group=""] instead of .group for attributify
  attributifyPseudo: false,
  
  // CSS variable prefix (default: 'un-')
  variablePrefix: 'un-',
  
  // Utility prefix
  prefix: undefined,
  
  // Preflight generation: true | false | 'on-demand'
  preflight: true,
})

Building on Mini

Create custom preset extending mini:

import { presetMini } from 'unocss'
import type { Preset } from 'unocss'

export const myPreset: Preset = {
  name: 'my-preset',
  presets: [presetMini()],
  rules: [
    // Add custom rules
    ['card', { 'border-radius': '8px', 'box-shadow': '0 2px 8px rgba(0,0,0,0.1)' }],
  ],
  shortcuts: {
    'btn': 'px-4 py-2 rounded bg-blue-500 text-white',
  },
}
