In tailwind v4, will vite plugin work in the project that are not vite based? e.g Next JS

[AsuraKev]

Hi there,

I was reading about the features that comes with v4. The zero configuration section mentions about leverage vite's module graph. So my question is will v4 work with projects that are not using vite? example will be using it in Next js 14

thanks

The bit about leveraging Vite's module graph is specific to the @tailwindcss/vite Vite plugin. I would presume that Tailwind v4 should be able to be integrated into Next.js.

thanks :) I saw this line "We’re hoping to expand this approach outside of the Vite ecosystem with other bundler plugins in the future". I guess it ll support it in the future?

I understood that to mean the precise module graph analysis in particular. I would presume that Tailwind v4 should be able to be integrated into Next.js in general, but perhaps not with zero configuration as of right now.

thanks for the clarification :)

Right now for Next you should use the @tailwindcss/postcss plugin, will work with zero-configuration still using our crawl-based content detection strategy:
