Tailwind Boilerplate

A barebones but configurable starter project for playing around with Tailwind in a proper PostCSS environment. Forked from https://github.com/tailwindcss/playground.

Changes include:

• stripped down the playground homepage for getting started quickly
• imported base.css and custom.css files for adding custom styles with @apply
• font family, text sizes, and screens ready to be configured in tailwind.config.js
• replaced color palette with theme-ready lt/md/dk colors
• moved CSS files into /css folder
• added screen for print styles
• reorganized serve and build tasks
• implemented custom CSS linting with Stylelint

To get started:

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/dylanized/tailwind-minimal.git tailwind-minimal
   
   cd tailwindcss-playground
   

2. Install the dependencies:

   # Using npm
   npm install
   
   # Using Yarn
   yarn
   

3. Start the development server:

   # Using npm
   npm run serve
   
   # Using Yarn
   yarn run serve
   

   Now you should be able to see the project running at localhost:8080.

4. Open public/index.html in your editor and start experimenting!

Building for production

Even though this isn't necessarily a starter kit for a proper project, we've included an example of setting up both Purgecss and cssnano to optimize your CSS for production.

To build an optimized version of your CSS, simply run:

# Using npm
npm run production

# Using Yarn
yarn run production

After that's done, check out ./public/build/tailwind.css to see the optimized output.
