How to Install Tailwind CSS using Ruby on Rails

====================

In this guide, you'll learn how to install Tailwind CSS using Ruby on Rails

It occurred to me recently that I never actually recorded a screencast about installing Tailwind CSS within the Ruby on Rails framework.

For most screencasts, I tend to lean for my kickoff_tailwind application template as a quick way to get a new app up and running. Inside the template, I have the process of installing Tailwind CSS automated minus a few PostCSS configuration settings.

While it's relatively straight forward, there are some quirks to the process. I hope you find this guide useful. The written form below will be a bit brief while the video goes into more depth about the details.

I'd recommend referring the Tailwind documentation if you get hung up.

Very insightful and helpful.
Thank you very much. :)

Helpful video. Thank you. In your postcss.config.js file, I think you're missing an asterisk before the .html in './app/**/.html.erb',

Very Helpful video! However, tailwind css is not showing in production. Where could I be going wrong?

Is it possible to have both materialize css and Tailwind on Rails application?

I followed the exact same steps and went on web crunch website but it does not work.

Tailwind isn't working for me. I followed the same steps. There is no styling when I run the rails server.

What a joke Materialize framework can't compile properly the java library or conflict very often with other gems .The Taildwind is a open framework but it takes more time to be installed compare to Materialize. I think simplicity is the key
