Frequently Asked Questions
What is Tailwind CSS?
Tailwind CSS is a utility-first CSS framework. Instead of pre-built components, it provides low-level utility classes (like p-4, text-lg, bg-blue-500) that you combine to build custom designs. This gives you full design control without writing custom CSS.
Is Tailwind better than Bootstrap?
It depends. Tailwind offers more flexibility and smaller bundle size (only used classes are included). Bootstrap offers pre-built components and faster prototyping. Tailwind is better for custom designs; Bootstrap is better for quick, standard layouts.
Do I need to install Tailwind to use these classes?
Yes. Tailwind classes only work if Tailwind CSS is installed in your project. You can install it via npm or use the CDN. The generated classes are ready to use once Tailwind is set up.
Can I customize Tailwind colors and spacing?
Yes. Tailwind is highly customizable via the tailwind.config.js file. You can add custom colors, spacing, fonts, and breakpoints. The generator uses default Tailwind values but you can adjust them in your config.
How do I make Tailwind responsive?
Tailwind uses breakpoint prefixes: sm:, md:, lg:, xl:, 2xl:. For example, class='text-base md:text-lg' applies text-base on mobile and text-lg on medium screens and up. This makes responsive design easy.
