Tailwind Css Styles Not Applying Missing Css Import Napjg
Forgetting to import Tailwind CSS into your project results in no styles being applied even if Tailwind classes are used correctly in your components. This is a common oversight during project setup or after file renames and can lead to hours of debugging.
Tailwind CSS Styles Not Applying: Missing CSS Import
This repository demonstrates a common error when using Tailwind CSS: forgetting to import the generated CSS file into your project.
The Problem
Even if you're using Tailwind directives correctly in your components, if the CSS file isn't imported, no styles will be applied. This can be very frustrating to debug, as the error message is often non-existent.
The Solution
The solution is straightforward: ensure that the generated Tailwind CSS file (typically output.css) is correctly imported into your main application or component file.
Reproduction Steps
- Clone this repository.
- Notice that the
bug.jsfile uses Tailwind classes but doesn't import Tailwind's CSS. - Run the application (instructions in
bug.js) - Observe that no Tailwind styles are applied.
- Refer to
bugSolution.jsfor the fix.
