A Guide into the world of Tailwind CSS
Tailwind CSS is a utility-first CSS framework packed with classes like flex, pt-4, text-center and rotate-90 that can be composed to build any design, directly in your markup.
The Utility-First Workflow
Instead of writing custom CSS, you apply pre-existing classes to your HTML elements. This leads to:
- Faster Development: No switching context between HTML and CSS files.
- Consistent Design: Values are picked from a designated design system (your config).
- Smaller Bundle Sizes: Unused CSS is purged automatically.
Customization
Tailwind is highly customizable via the tailwind.config.js file, allowing you to define your own colors, spacing, and variants.
Conclusion
Tailwind CSS might look ugly at first, but once you start using it, the productivity boost is undeniable.
