Tailwind Template

Overview:

This document provides documentation for the Tailwind CSS Starter Template. It covers installation instructions, project styles, Just In Time (JIT) mode, working in development, and how to use the Live Server.

Features:

• Node Modules: Install all required dependencies for the project by running pnpm install in the terminal in the root directory.
• Tailwind CSS: This project uses Tailwind CSS, a utility-first CSS framework. The required dependencies should already be included in the project. Run pnpm install if the node_modules folder is missing.
• Tailwind Intellisense: To enable Tailwind CSS Intellisense in Visual Studio Code, install the Tailwind CSS Extension Pack, which includes extensions that enhance the Tailwind CSS experience.
• Files: The assets/styles folder in the root directory contains the tailwind.css file, used to generate compiled Tailwind CSS styles. The compiled output is saved in the styles.css file in the same folder.
• Just In Time (JIT) Mode: This project uses Tailwind CSS in JIT mode, which only includes CSS classes found in the HTML files in the root folder. Disable JIT mode in the tailwind.config.js file to generate all available classes, but this may result in an extremely large CSS file.
• Working in Development: To work in a development environment, run the dev NPM script. This starts a watch process that generates styles on-demand. Saving HTML files, the tailwind.css file, or the tailwind.config.js file triggers CSS processing and re-compilation. Note that classes are added on-demand but not removed on-demand, so save the tailwind.css file to force a full re-compile and remove unused classes.
• Live Server: The article mentions that it will cover the use of Live Server, but the content provided ends abruptly, and the feature is not described.

Installation:

1. Open the terminal in the root directory of the project.
2. Run pnpm install to install the required dependencies and generate the node_modules folder.

Summary:

The Tailwind CSS Starter Template documentation provides instructions for installing and using the template. It details the dependencies required, the file structure, and the use of Tailwind CSS in JIT mode. It also explains how to work in a development environment and the process to watch for changes and re-compile CSS. However, the article abruptly ends when mentioning the use of Live Server, and does not provide further information on this feature.
