Styling Remix applications with Tailwind CSS
Blog post from LogRocket
Remix, a full-stack framework for building React applications developed by the creators of React Router, has gained significant attention with its unique features like server-side rendering, file-system-based routing, and TypeScript support. Initially released as a paid product, Remix is now open-source, facilitating wider adoption. Tailwind CSS, a utility-first CSS framework, complements Remix by offering a streamlined approach to styling with utility classes, JIT mode, and a compact CSS output. The article provides a guide on integrating Tailwind CSS into a Remix application, detailing the setup process using create-remix and npm commands, followed by configuring Tailwind through the tailwind.config.js file and updating scripts in package.json. The final step involves linking the generated stylesheet within the Remix application to apply the styles globally. By combining Remix and Tailwind CSS, developers can leverage both frameworks' strengths to create efficient and well-styled web applications, as demonstrated through the styling of a contact form. Additionally, LogRocket is mentioned as a tool for enhancing digital experiences by monitoring and tracking client-side performance issues in web applications.
