Create your project
Start by creating a new Next.js project if you don’t have one set up already. The most common approach is to use Create Next App.
// Terminal
$ npx create-next-app my-project
$ cd my-project
Install Tailwind CSS
Install tailwindcss
and its peer dependencies via npm, and then run the init command to generate both tailwind.config.js
and postcss.config.js
.
// Terminal
$ npm install -D tailwindcss postcss autoprefixer
$ npx tailwindcss init -p
Configure your template paths
Add the paths to all of your template files in your tailwind.config.js
file.
// tailwind.config.js
module.exports = {
content: [
"./pages/**/*.{js,ts,jsx,tsx}",
"./components/**/*.{js,ts,jsx,tsx}",
],
theme: {
extend: {},
},
plugins: [],
}
Add the Tailwind directives to your CSS
Add the @tailwind
directives for each of Tailwind’s layers to your ./styles/globals.css
file.
// globals.css
@tailwind base;
@tailwind components;
@tailwind utilities;
Start your build process
Run your build process with npm run dev
.
// Terminal
$ npm run dev
Start using Tailwind in your project
Start using Tailwind’s utility classes to style your content.
// index.js
export default function Home() {
return (
<h1 className="text-3xl font-bold underline">
Hello world!
</h1>
)
}
