Overview
Tailwind CSS provides low-level utility classes (e.g., flex, pt-4, text-center) that can be combined to build any design. This contrasts with traditional frameworks like Bootstrap that provide pre-designed components.
Key Features
- Utility-First: Build complex UIs by composing simple classes.
- Responsive Modifiers: Easily apply styles at different breakpoints (e.g.,
md:flex). - Hover and Focus States: Apply styles on interaction (e.g.,
hover:bg-blue-500). - PurgeCSS Integration: Automatically removes unused CSS in production, resulting in tiny file sizes.
Benefits
Tailwind speeds up development, ensures consistency, and eliminates the need to write custom CSS for most tasks.
