Yes! (https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=bradlc.v...)

Although I wouldn't mind an array instead so I can use the typescript typechecker.

You get type checking automatically using withStyles, no plugin needed. That plugin is kinda cool with the css preview feature, but I bet using the built-in IDE autocomplete is more reliable. I also find withStyles more readable in general, for ex:

theme: {

  button: {

    primary: {

      color: 'blue',

      padding: '2px',

    },

  },
}

<Button {...css(theme.button.primary)}>

vs. tailwind classes:

<Button className="text-blue p-2">
