How to use Tailwinds `safelist` to handle dynamic classes

1

Tailwind CSS

Tailwind CSS is a popular utility-first CSS framework that allows developers to create custom designs quickly and efficiently. By default, Tailwind CSS generates a wide range of utility classes, which can lead to large file sizes. To address this issue, Tailwind CSS comes with a built-in feature called PurgeCSS that removes unused styles from the production build, making the final CSS file smaller and more performant. However, this automatic removal may sometimes cause issues when certain styles are used dynamically or conditionally in your application. In this article, we'll dive deep into the safelist feature in Tailwind CSS, learn how to whitelist specific styles, and explore various scenarios where using safelist can be helpful.
