How to enable Tailwind JIT compilation mode in your Angular project.

1

Tailwind CSS

Writing custom styles was totally my thing until I started using Tailwind. I was not a fan of bootstrap and always made sure to write plain old CSS for most of the projects. You won't be able to find the real advantage of using utility-first frameworks like these at first or in smaller applications. The real benefit comes when the application grows and the styles become very difficult to manage. Over time the styles bundle would grow drastically, especially if you are working in a team with a lot of other devs.

PostCSS

People really started liking Tailwind and using it with other frameworks was so easy. But in the case of Angular, it was a different story. Tailwind is a PostCSS plugin, so to make it work, we need access to the PostCSS configuration where we can specify tailwind in the plugins list. Even though Angular uses PostCSS, it didn't expose the bundler config file making it difficult to use Tailwind in Angular.
