Describe your issue

Tailwind4 drops the tailwind config, what is now the preferred way of importing the plugin?

Hey! You can use @plugin to load plugins in Tailwind CSS v4: https://tailwindcss.com/docs/functions-and-directives#plugin-directive

Going to close this but this needs updating in our projects README you are right. Will see to get to it this week. 👍

How to define strategy: 'class' in @plugin directive?

[philipp-spiess]

@arthurshlain Like this:

@plugin "@tailwindcss/typography" {
  strategy: class;
}

Please can you update the documentation? This isn't mentioned anywhere in this repository.

I noticed using strategy: class wasn't working in cases where you want forms to be styled up automatically.

This worked:

@plugin "@tailwindcss/forms" {
  strategy: base;
}

This way you don't need to attach any classes to your forms.
