negative values using clamp

[stereonom]

Hi.

in my project I use some special-values for my spacing:

spacing: {
	'foo': 'clamp(1.143rem, 4vw - 1.25rem, 2.857rem)'
},

When I use it like this: mb-foo tailwind correctly generates my class and adds the clamp-value as margin-top. No surprise.

When I use it as a negative value -mt-foo no class gets generated.
I think this is, because you can't just add a - before the clamp-value and call it a day.
But what could get generated is:

.-mt-foo {
	margin-top: calc( clamp(1.143rem, 4vw - 1.25rem, 2.857rem) * -1);
}

I just wanted to leave this here for discussion. Perhaps in the future, when more clamp is used this would be a cool feature :-)

This is an interesting idea. I think there could be a good bit of complexity in trying to support a feature like that. However, we do something fairly similar for calc & var. We're a bit focused on other things at the moment but this might be a simple enough addition.

Yeah I figured I'd use a short time on my lunch to see how easy this was. Looks like… very! #9237 — it'll be in our next release :)
