Summary

Two years ago, an introduction to the Tailwind Webpack Transformer was published, providing support for Tailwind component previews and apps. The latest blog post explores how to extend Tailwind CSS using plugins and configure it to work with different frameworks. Customization of Tailwind CSS is possible when the CDN option is disabled, allowing users to fork the default Tailwind config component into their workspace. The Tailwind PostCSS plugin, used by the Tailwind Webpack Transformer, scans component files for Tailwind classes by receiving a list of file patterns to scan, which can be adjusted based on the tools and frameworks in use. To extend Tailwind with plugins, modifications to the tailwind.config.js file are required, and any new dependencies are automatically detected, with commands available to install missing versions. Users can implement their custom Tailwind configurations by passing them to their environment's preview method or app plugin file.
