Tailwind CSS Practical Guide

What is Tailwind CSS?

Tailwind CSS is a utility-first CSS framework that provides a vast collection of atomic classes, allowing you to build custom designs directly in your HTML.

Core Concepts

1. Utility-First - Use predefined classes to build designs
2. Responsive Design - Built-in responsive breakpoints
3. Dark Mode - Simple dark mode support
4. Custom Configuration - Highly customizable configuration system

Example Code

<div class="bg-white dark:bg-gray-800 rounded-lg shadow-lg p-6">
  <h2 class="text-2xl font-bold text-gray-900 dark:text-white">
    Hello Tailwind!
  </h2>
</div>

Best Practices

• Use component abstraction for repeated styles
• Leverage @apply directive to create custom classes
• Configure design tokens for consistency
