Why you should use Tailwind CSS with React Native
Blog post from LogRocket
React Native offers a built-in StyleSheet approach for styling, but developers often face challenges with maintaining styles and naming conventions. Tailwind CSS presents an alternative with its utility-first class approach, which simplifies styling by allowing developers to apply class names to elements without writing custom styles, thus promoting consistency and speed in development. Although Tailwind's learning curve might be steep, it enables faster and more unified work, making onboarding easier for new developers as it limits styling options. However, the approach might lead to verbose code and potential issues when using non-standard values, which can be addressed by exporting reusable parts as styled-components. Despite some developer community dissatisfaction, Tailwind is gaining popularity, as evidenced by it being the most adopted technology in The State of CSS 2020 survey. Tailwind offers a more streamlined and consistent approach to styling compared to the traditional StyleSheet method, though it may require adjustments for specific project needs.
