How to Integrate Tailwind CSS in Any Laravel Project

Tailwind CSS is a popular CSS framework known for its utility-first approach. Let’s explore how to seamlessly add Tailwind to your Laravel project.

Step-by-Step Guide to Adding Tailwind CSS in Laravel

• Start with a New Laravel Project Using Jetstream
To get started with a fresh Laravel setup, Jetstream is a great choice. It incorporates Tailwind CSS and lets you pick a JavaScript framework.

laravel new example --jet

Once installed, running npm install followed by npm run dev will set up Tailwind for your project!

• Add Tailwind CSS with NPM, Yarn, or Bun
If you’re not starting a new Laravel project, you can install Tailwind via your preferred package manager (NPM, Yarn, or Bun).

Tailwind CSS depends on PostCSS and its autoprefixer plugin, as Tailwind itself is built on PostCSS.

To install with NPM:

npm install autoprefixer postcss tailwindcss

For Yarn users:

yarn add autoprefixer postcss tailwindcss

Or with Bun:

bun add autoprefixer postcss tailwindcss
