A quick and simple example of using Tailwind CSS with Webpack.

Github

Overview

This project is a deprecated example of a simple Webpack setup for using Tailwind CSS. It was not considered a good starter for real projects as it is not recommended to let the CSS framework dictate the starter webpack setup. It is suggested to use tools like vue-cli or create-react-app instead. For those who want to play around with Tailwind and PostCSS, it is recommended to use the tailwindcss/playground starter.

Features

  • Super simple Webpack setup for using Tailwind CSS.
  • Cloning the project and installing the dependencies.
  • Watch the changes in styles and rebuild the stylesheet using Webpack Development Server.
  • Testing the effects of changes in the index.html file.
  • Building a production bundle for deployment.

Summary

This project is a deprecated example of a simple Webpack setup for using Tailwind CSS. It is recommended to use more modern tools like vue-cli or create-react-app for real projects. For playing around with Tailwind and PostCSS, it is suggested to use the tailwindcss/playground starter. The installation process involves cloning the project, installing the dependencies, starting the Webpack Development Server, making changes to CSS and JavaScript files, testing the effects, and building a production bundle for deployment.
