Tailwind CSS Setup Guide

This guide will help you set up and use Tailwind CSS in your project using the Tailwind CLI.

Prerequisites

• Node.js and npm should be installed on your machine.
• Tailwind CSS is already set up in your project.

Installation

1. Ensure Tailwind CSS is installed:

   If Tailwind CSS is not installed, run the following command in your project directory:

   npm install tailwindcss

2. Verify Tailwind Configuration:

   Ensure you have a tailwind.config.js file. If not, create one using:

   npx tailwindcss init

3. CSS File Setup:

   Ensure your input.css file includes the Tailwind directives:

   @tailwind base;
   @tailwind components;
   @tailwind utilities;

4. Build your CSS:

   Use the Tailwind CLI to compile your CSS. The command is already set up in your package.json:

   "scripts": {
     "watch": "npx tailwindcss -i ./form_campaign_app/static/tailwind/input.css -o ./form_campaign_app/static/tailwind/output.css --watch"
   }

   Run the build script to generate your CSS:

   npm run watch

5. Include the compiled CSS in your HTML:

   Link the compiled CSS file in your HTML file:

   <link href="/form_campaign_app/static/tailwind/output.css" rel="stylesheet">

Development

• To watch for changes and automatically rebuild your CSS, use the watch script as shown above.
