How to create Tailwind CSS Button Components

In this guide, we take a look at creating button components using Tailwind CSS. Combined with PostCSS we can craft custom component-based classes that group Tailwind CSS classes for the most reusability.

### Tailwind JIT

Very recently Tailwind Labs released a new JIT feature which I take for a test drive in this guide. It's great and fast which is something the framework has been suffering from given the size of CSS files it ships with by default. Follow along with the guide to see how to configure and set up a new JIT-based project.

The purpose of this tutorial is to walk through some use cases for creating buttons and button variants using Tailwind CSS. I tend to create a design system for larger projects that require it. This system thus paves the way for the design throughout the rest of the project.

Shifting your mindset out of designing "pages" into designing "systems" takes some getting used to as a designer/developer. You'll want to decide as much as you can up front after some experimentation. Everything from font sizes to color is considered. Buttons are a big part of that system as they tend to represent the brand and call to action for important interactions.

Excellent tutorial regarding how to create Tailwind CSS Button Components

[OneBrighDay]

thx for the tut. The only suggestion I would make is to put your colors in the theme that way you can refer to them anywhere and only have to update them one place if something changes.

Great one, but why not use component tag and props to render different button?!
