๐Ÿฟ Our Weekly Snack: Tailwind V4 Alpha

โ€‹Tailwind Alpha V4 release is out ๐Ÿš€. And it is bigger than EVER!

Once you install Tailwind, all you need to do it '@import tailwindcss' in your CSS file. Take a look at the below Snack.

You can now say Goodbye to Tailwind.Config file ๐Ÿ‘‹ as they got rid of that file in the alpha release and everything has now moved to CSS file. We use CSS variables to extend or replace existing design system.

Tailwind Alpha definitely feels like we are walking away from a JavaScript vibe to more CSS and I'm not complaining.

You can watch a detailed walkthrough here โ†—๏ธ.
