TailwindCSS plugin for Stencil

Overview

Stencil-Tailwind is a plugin designed for seamless integration with Tailwind CSS within Stencil projects.

It offered a variety of features, including support for inline utilities and the ability to customize Tailwind configurations for a more tailored approach to design.

The plugin facilitated easy usage of utility classes directly within JSX files, applying styles through a rich set of directives.
