These steps explain how to setup an empty project with vite, react and tailwindcss. These steps were also used to create this sample project.

Setup Vite with React

1. Create vite react app (change music-player to the name of your project)

yarn create @vitejs/app music-player --template react

2. Follow the instructions printed in your terminal. Mine were:

cd music-player
yarn
yarn dev

3. Open the project in the editor of your choice. Open localhost:3000 in your browser.

Add Tailwind

1. Install Tailwind dependecies (as dev dependencies with -D):

yarn add -D tailwindcss@latest postcss@latest autoprefixer@latest

2. Init Tailwind

npx tailwindcss init -p

• This creates tailwind.config.js and postcss.config.js

3. Open tailwind.config.js to setup purging and just-in-time mode

  //...
  purge: ["./index.html", "./src/**/*.{js,jsx}"],
  mode: "jit",
  //...

4. Remove everything in index.css and include Tailwind in index.css

/* ./src/index.css */
@tailwind base;
@tailwind components;
@tailwind utilities;

5. Remove App.css and logo.svg and adjust App.js

Change the App.js to his

import React from "react";

function App() {
  return (
    <div className="text-7xl font-black animate-bounce mt-8">
      Let's get started 🎉
    </div>
  );
}

export default App;

6. (optional) Add the Tailwind CSS IntelliSense Extension if you're using vscode.

7. You are ready to go 🎉. Check your browser.
