Set Up Tailwind's Input CSS
You should have a styles.css file where you include the Tailwind directives:
css
Copy code
@tailwind base;
@tailwind components;
@tailwind utilities;
Run the build process to generate your output.css:
bash
Copy code
npx tailwindcss build styles.css -o output.css
5. Verify output.css Path
Double-check that output.css is in the correct path relative to your index.html. If it's in the
same folder as index.html, your link should be:
html
Copy code
<link href="./output.css" rel="stylesheet" />
6. Ensure Content Is Being Scanned
In your tailwind.config.js, ensure the content field includes the paths to all files that use
Tailwind classes:
javascript
Copy code
module.exports = {
content: ['./*.html'],
theme: {
extend: {},
},
plugins: [],
};
7. Test Tailwind with Simple Setup
Add a simple Tailwind class (like bg-red-500) directly to an element to confirm Tailwind is
working:
html
Copy code
<h1 class="bg-red-500 text-white p-4">Test Tailwind</h1>
If this works, your setup is correct.
8. Check Browser Console
Open the developer tools in your browser and check the console for errors. You might see
something like output.css not found or syntax issues.
After verifying these steps, your Tailwind CSS setup should work seamlessly. Let me know if
you still face issues!
