## 📦 Installation

1. :::cols-12{.gap-4}

   ::col-span-4
   **Install from npm**

   `twind` and `@twind/with-sveltekit` are available on npm and need to be installed together.

   ::col-span-8

   ```sh
   npm install @twind/core @twind/with-sveltekit
   ```

   :::

1. :::cols-12{.gap-4}

   ::col-span-4
   **Define the configuration**

   Using an extra file, `twind.config.js`, allows some tools like [IntelliSense](./installation) to find your configuration.

   ::col-span-8

   ```js title="twind.config.js"
   import { defineConfig } from '@twind/core'

   export default defineConfig({
     /* @twind/with-sveltekit will use hashed class names in production by default
      * If you don't want this, uncomment the next line
      */
     // hash: false,
   })
   ```

   ::col-span-4
   **Load Twind in the [root layout](https://kit.svelte.dev/docs/routing#layout-layout-js)**

   `install` creates and registers a twind instance that will generate the styles. This allows third-party packages to import `tw` from the twind package and get the same instance.

   ::col-span-8

   ```js title="src/routes/+layout.js"
   import install from '@twind/with-sveltekit'
   import config from '../../twind.config'

   install(config)

   // Optional: add a load function
   ```

1. :::cols-12{.gap-4}

   ::col-span-4

   **Enable Twind [in hooks](https://kit.svelte.dev/docs/hooks#server-hooks-handle)**

   Enable server-side rendering of all the styles that are used within the HTML and sending them to the client.

   ::col-span-8

   ```js title="src/hooks.server.js"
   import handleTwind from '@twind/with-sveltekit/hooks'

   export const handle = handleTwind()
   ```

   ::col-span-4

   If you have other handlers use the [`sequence` helper](https://kit.svelte.dev/docs/modules#sveltejs-kit-hooks):

   ::col-span-8

   ```js
   import { sequence } from '@sveltejs/kit/hooks'

   export const handle = sequence(handleTwind(), ...otherHandlers)
   ```
