Tailwind CSS is a popular utility-first CSS framework that allows you to rapidly build user interfaces by composing classes. It's known for its simplicity and flexibility.

What IS Tailwind CSS - Tutorial provided by AppSeed.

Here's a comprehensive introduction with coding samples to get you started:

✅ Installation​

Before using Tailwind CSS, you need to install it via npm or yarn. Make sure you have a new or existing HTML file to work with.

# Install Tailwind CSS
npm install tailwindcss

# Create a configuration file (if not already present)
npx tailwindcss init

✅ Setting Up HTML​

Create an HTML file (e.g., index.html) and include Tailwind CSS in the head of your document.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <link href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/tailwindcss@2.2.15/dist/tailwind.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
    <title>Your App</title>
</head>
<body>
    <!-- Your content goes here -->
</body>
</html>

✅ Basic Styling​

Let's create a button using Tailwind CSS classes.

<button class="bg-blue-500 hover:bg-blue-700 text-white font-bold py-2 px-4 rounded">
    Click me
</button>

This code creates a blue button with white text that turns darker on hover.

✅ Responsive Design​

Tailwind makes it easy to create responsive layouts. Here's a simple example of a responsive grid.

<div class="lg:flex lg:justify-between">
    <div class="lg:w-1/4">Sidebar</div>
    <div class="lg:w-3/4">Main Content</div>
</div>

In this example, the layout changes from a single column to a two-column layout on large screens (lg breakpoint).

✅ Customization​

You can customize Tailwind CSS by editing your tailwind.config.js file. For example, if you want to add your custom colors:

// tailwind.config.js
module.exports = {
    theme: {
        extend: {
            colors: {
                'primary': '#FF5722',
                'secondary': '#2196F3',
            },
        },
    },
    variants: {},
    plugins: [],
};

Now, you can use these custom colors in your HTML:

<div class="bg-primary text-white">Primary Background</div>
<div class="bg-secondary text-white">Secondary Background</div>
