SETUP REACT APP WITH TAILWIND CSS

1. First create a react app:

  npm create vite@latest

2. Install tailwind css in the project :

  npm install -D tailwindcss@3 postcss autoprefixer
  npx tailwindcss init -p

3. Configure tailwind.config.js file

// tailwind.config.js
export default {
content: [
  "./index.html",
  "./src/**/*.{js,ts,jsx,tsx}",
],
theme: {
  extend: {},
},
plugins: [],
}

4. Add Tailwind to Your CSS

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

Make sure this file is imported in main.jsx or index.js:
