How to make Tailwind css work in a nrwl/nx Next js project?
Now I am using the common approach but it failed:
[ error ] ./styles/main.css
Error: Didn't get a result from child compiler
the common approach I took:
npx create-nx-workspace#latest my-org
yarn add --dev #nrwl/next
nx g #nrwl/next:application my-project
yarn add tailwindcss autoprefixer postcss-loader #zeit/next-css
cd apps/my-project
create
postcss.config.js
module.exports = {
plugins: [
require('tailwindcss'),
require('autoprefixer')
]
};
create
next.config.js
const withCSS = require('#zeit/next-css');
module.exports = withCSS({});
create
styles/main.css
#tailwind base;
#tailwind components;
#tailwind utilities;
create a default _app.js in pages
add import '../styles/main.css' in _app.js
I have solved the problem.
Here is how I added tailwind in next.js project
install tailwind and autoprefixer in the workspace
create tailwind.config.js and tailwind.css.
import tailwind.css at _app.tsx
create next.config.js
const path = require('path');
module.exports = {
webpack: config => {
config.module.rules.push({
test: /\.css$/,
use: [
{
loader: 'postcss-loader',
options: {
ident: 'postcss',
plugins: [
require('tailwindcss')(
path.resolve(__dirname, 'tailwind.config.js') // the absolute path of your tailwind.config.js
),
require('autoprefixer')
]
}
}
],
// the absolute path of the folder contains tailwind.css
// I reuse tailwind.css across projects and libs so I put it in the workspace root
// Maybe I should create a lib for it.
include: path.resolve('./global')
});
return config;
}
};
It is similar if you wanna integrate Tailwind with lib's storybook or in projects of other framework. Just find the way to push rules to webpack config.
Hope it helps.
If you use new version - 9.2 then you need this article:
https://nextjs.org/blog/next-9-2
And updated setup example for Next.js 9.2:
https://github.com/tailwindcss/setup-examples/pull/50
I tried it, it good works for me.

Ive added reveal.js to my rails 7 app and with a little tinkering I can switch between slides, however the transitions (eg, slide or fade) do not work.
In terms of installation:
yarn add reveal.js
application.js
import Reveal from 'reveal.js';
import Markdown from 'reveal.js/plugin/markdown/markdown.esm.js';
let deck = new Reveal({
plugins: [ Markdown ]
})
deck.initialize();
slides html:
<div class="reveal">
<div class="slides">
<section data-transition="slide"><h1>Horizontal 1</h1></section>
<section data-transition="fade"><h1>Horizontal 2</h1></section>
</div>
</div>
What I have done/tried
I dont have any javascript errors in my console so im thinking this might just some issue with the css / the way im importing the css. so far I have tried copying the reveal.scss content (from node_modules) into a file in my assets/stylesheets/reveal.scss with no luck:
Module parse failed: Unexpected character '#' (1:0)
12:31:02 js.1 | You may need an appropriate loader to handle this file type, currently no loaders are configured to process this file. See https://webpack.js.org/concepts#loaders
12:31:02 js.1 | > #use "sass:math";
I also tried commenting out the lines (only 3) that use the math property, however that didnt work for me.
I tried importing the css direction (in assets/stylesheets/application.scss) with:
#import "reveal.js/dist/reveal"
// and
#import "reveal.js/css/reveal"
the file in dist is a .css file, while the other one has the contents that I copied before and showed the same error regarding sass:math.
Next I thought I might not have sass so I did yarn add sass and yarn add node-sass, which also didnt make the transitions work.
Now when I open the demo.html and index.html files (that come with the reveal.js dependency in the node_modules) in a browser tab transitions work seamlessly. Meaning it must have to do with how im importing the css/scss?
EDIT: webpack.config.js
const path = require("path")
const webpack = require("webpack")
module.exports = {
mode: "production",
devtool: "source-map",
entry: {
application: "./app/javascript/application.js"
},
output: {
filename: "[name].js",
sourceMapFilename: "[file].map",
path: path.resolve(__dirname, "app/assets/builds"),
},
plugins: [
new webpack.optimize.LimitChunkCountPlugin({
maxChunks: 1
})
]
}
It looks like you need to install and then add the appropriate loaders to your webpack config. Here is the official webpack documentation. It would look something like this:
const path = require("path")
const webpack = require("webpack")
module.exports = {
mode: "production",
devtool: "source-map",
entry: {
application: "./app/javascript/application.js"
},
output: {
filename: "[name].js",
sourceMapFilename: "[file].map",
path: path.resolve(__dirname, "app/assets/builds"),
},
plugins: [
new webpack.optimize.LimitChunkCountPlugin({
maxChunks: 1
})
],
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /\.s[ac]ss$/i,
use: [
// Creates `style` nodes from JS strings
"style-loader",
// Translates CSS into CommonJS
"css-loader",
// Compiles Sass to CSS
"sass-loader",
],
},
],
},
}
I got a problem using tailwind css with Vue3. Looking at the network tab it's size is 4.4 MB.
The postcss.config.js
module.exports = {
plugins: {
'postcss-import': {},
tailwindcss: {},
autoprefixer: {},
cssnano: {}
}
}
tailwind.config.js
module.exports = {
content: [
"./frontend/**/*.{js,jsx,ts,tsx,vue}",
"./app/views/**/*.html.erb"
],
prefix: 'tw-',
...
cssnano is added using yarn.
yarn.lock
cssnano-preset-default#^5.2.12:
cssnano#5.1.13
tailwindcss#^2.1.4:
Importing tailwind in main.css which itself is imported in the vue entrypoints.
#tailwind utilities;
#tailwind base;
#tailwind components;
Whether in development nor in production the size of main.css changes.
All right, I solved it. The version of tailwind I'm using ain't compatible with the "content" setting in the current documentation. I still have to use this syntax:
purge: {
enabled: true,
content: [
"./frontend/**/*.{js,jsx,ts,tsx,vue}",
"./app/views/**/*.html.erb"
],
},
Also needed to do a re-build of the prod environment.
You have also the mode JIT it will generates your styles on-demande https://v2.tailwindcss.com/docs/just-in-time-mode
I am trying to add Tailwind.css to a Vue.js project. There are a lot of resources on how to do this, most of them following the same path as this video. To make sure I was in the same conditions as in the video, I created a Vue app from scratch, using vue-cli with the default presets. After this step, I did the following :
npm install tailwind.css
create src/styles/tailwind.css
adding the following to the css file:
#tailwind base;
#tailwind components;
#tailwind utilities;
call npx tailwind init to create a tailwind.config.js file at the root of the project
create postcss.config.js at the root of the project, and add the following to this file:
module.exports = {
plugins: [require("tailwindcss"), require("autoprefixer")],
};
add a custom color to the tailwind.config.js file :
module.exports = {
theme: {
colors: {
"awesome-color": "#56b890",
},
extend: {},
},
variants: {},
plugins: [],
};
adding a simple <p> element to the HelloWorld.vue component generated by vue-cli
trying to style it using Tailwind classes
Finally, here is the problem: I can apply some classes like bg-awesome-color or text-xl and have them render properly, but a lot other classes won't work.
For instance, removing those classes and trying instead bg-black, bg-orange-500, or text-orange-500 has strictly no effect. Did I do something wrong? Would that be a problem of compatibility between Vue.js and Tailwind.css?
I do not know if this is related, but I also noticed that after adding Tailwind.css, the Vue logo that used to be centered in the original vue-cli template was now aligned left in the page.
Thank you very much for any help!
If You want to keep original content, then you should put this inside "extend".
module.exports = {
theme: {
extend: {
colors: {
"awesome-color": "#56b890",
},
}
},
variants: {},
plugins: [],
};

I got the answer from a maintainer of Tailwind.css after posting an issue. I actually misplaced the colors object in tailwind.config.js, causing it to override all existing colors with mine, thus actually removing all the existing ones. Here is the correct way to add / override a color without removing all the original ones :
module.exports = {
theme: {
extend: {
colors: {
"awesome-color": "#56b890",
},
},
},
variants: {},
plugins: [],
};
The same thing happened to me, and I spent hours trying to understand why my custom styles weren't working, your error may be in the postcss.config.js, make sure when importing tailwind.config.js you are calling correctly, I leave a couple of examples:
// postcss.confing.js
const tailwindcss = require("tailwindcss");
const autoprefixer = require("autoprefixer");
module.exports = {
plugins: [
tailwindcss("./tailwind.config.js"), // name your custom tailwind
...
],
};
// postcss.confing.js
module.exports = {
"plugins": [
require('tailwindcss')('tailwind.config.js'), // name your custom tailwind
require('autoprefixer')(),
]
}
In both cases it solved the problem for me, I hope it will help you.
You have to install tailwindcss with vue-tailwind.
Run npm install tailwindcss.

I am trying to import css to my specific component of react app.
webpack config:
{
test: /\.css$/,
loader: ExtractTextPlugin.extract({
use: 'css-loader',
}),
}
but css is not applied.
I also included the main css inside index.html. Is it the reason why I cannot apply another css file?
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../style/style.css">
Can you suggest me what's missing?
It depends on the webpack version you're using. For example, if you're using Webpack 4, then your development config would be:
{
test: /\.s?css$/, // test for scss or css files
use: [
'style-loader', // try to use style-loader or...
{
loader: 'css-loader', // try to use css-loader
options: {
sourceMap: true, // allow source maps (allows css debugging)
modules: true, // allow css module imports
camelCase: true, // allow camel case imports
localIdentName: '[local]___[hash:base64:5]', // set imported classNames with a original className and a hashed string in the DOM, for example: "exampleClassName__2fMQK"
},
},
],
}
example.css (must use camel case instead of snake case)
.exampleClassName {
text-align: center;
}
example.js
import React from 'react';
import { exampleClassName } from './example.css';
export default () => (
<h1 className={exampleClassName}>I am centered!</h1>
)
For production, you'll want to use OptimizeCSSAssetsPlugin and MiniCssExtractPlugin :
minimizer: [
new OptimizeCSSAssetsPlugin({
cssProcessorOptions: {
map: {
inline: false,
annotation: true
}
}
}),
],
{
plugins: [
new MiniCssExtractPlugin({
filename: `css/[name].[contenthash:8].css`,
chunkFilename: `[id].[contenthash:8].css`,
}),
]
}
When you run webpack to build your application for production, it'll compile the css and (when the webpack config is set up properly) will generate an index.html that automatically adds a link to the compiled stylesheet.
Webpack is a steep learning curve and there's a lot of missing options from the above examples, so if you're just trying to get it up and running, then I have a Webpack-React-Boilerplate that has (s)css modules imports and a lot more already configured for you. I've included notes within the webpack config files to help assist as to what each option is doing.
Otherwise, if you're trying to learn older versions of webpack, then you can eject the create-react-app and reverse engineer/look at their extensive webpack notes.
So I am trying to add some css style to my react components but failed.
My webpack.config.js looks like:
var webpack = require('webpack');
var path = require('path');
var BUILD_DIR = path.resolve(__dirname, './build');
var APP_DIR = path.resolve(__dirname, './src/client');
const config = {
entry: {
main: APP_DIR + '/index.js'
},
output: {
filename: 'bundle.js',
path: BUILD_DIR,
},
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /\.css$/,
use: [{
loader: "style-loader"
}, {
loader: "css-loader?modules=true&camelCase=true"
}]
},
{
test: /\.(jsx|js)?$/,
use: [{
loader: "babel-loader",
options: {
cacheDirectory: true,
presets: ['#babel/preset-react']
}
}]
}
],
}
};
module.exports = config;
My client code folder looks like:
Client
--style
----index.css
--index.js
index.css looks like:
body{
color: #555;
background: #f85032;
margin: 10px 30px;
}
Inside index.js, I am loading the css file using
import css from './style/index.css';
Then I do:
npx webpack
npm start
There's no error message in console output. The webpage shows up but there's no css style. Can someone please help me with this? Thanks!
It appears that if I do some inline css in index.html then it works? Any suggestion why this happens? Thanks!
Change to import './style/index.css'; and see if that works
I am just guessing here, since i can not see your index.js
From your webpack file i can see that you are using css modules.
This means that you can not just assign classes as you would usually do it, but you must get them from the css you imported.
Hence
'<div className="className">'
Becomes
'<div class=Name"' + css.className + '">'
The reason is thay css modules is doing some clever naming to always make the imported css unique to ensure you are not having any global scoping and conflicts (which is what you want with css modules)
UPDATE
I have tried to create a local setup with your webpack config. You can download it here (It is just a zip file).
Unzip and enter folder then run npm install and npm run webpack. You can now open build/index.html and see the result.
Maybe then you can see what you are doing differently?
