Extras

In the package.json you'll see some extra commands.

• yarn dev:css
  • used by yarn dev generate css bundle and watch css files for changes
  • includes css imported into index.css
  • will not autoreload browser when css changes
• yarn build:css
  • used by yarn build to generate css bundle

These can be used manually but using the usual commands will run them anyways.

The idea behind the example

This setup is a basic starting point for using tailwind css and next. Along with tailwind, this example also uses some other postcss plugins for imports, autoprefixing, and stripping whitespace/comments. The imports simply allow for an easy way to split up css files but still get one bundled css file in static/css/bundle.css. Changing stylesheets does not trigger auto-reloads. Setting up auto-reloads was avoided because the next.js read me does not recommend doing so. Although, that can easily be done with some webpack loaders. If you are curious about using loaders with next look at this example.

This project shows how you can set it up. Have a look at:

• pages/_document.js
• styles/config/postcss.config.js
• styles/config/tailwind.config.js
• styles/index.css
• styles/button.css
