Why Use Tailwind CSS?

Tailwind allows you to style your HTML elements using pre-defined utility classes instead of writing custom CSS. This speeds up development and keeps your styles consistent.

Benefits of Tailwind:

  • Utility-First Approach: No more writing custom class names or large CSS files.
  • Responsive Design Built-In: Easily create mobile-first layouts using md:, lg:, etc.
  • Customization: Extend and configure your design system using tailwind.config.js.
  • Developer Experience: Fast prototyping with live reload, autocomplete, and minimal context switching.

Getting Started

To get started with Tailwind CSS in a new project, use the following commands:

npm init -y
npm install -D tailwindcss
npx tailwindcss init
