Switching to Tailwind CSS will streamline our styling process, reduce the amount of custom CSS we need to maintain, and provide a more consistent design system. Tailwind's utility-first approach allows for rapid UI development and easier maintenance.
How to implement and why
Install Tailwind CSS:
Add Tailwind CSS as a dependency in the project.
Create a Tailwind configuration file to customize the default settings if needed.
This step is essential to integrate Tailwind into our build process.
Configure Tailwind in the project:
Update the project's build configuration to include Tailwind's directives.
Ensure that Tailwind's base, components, and utilities are included in the global CSS file.
This ensures that Tailwind's styles are applied globally.
Refactor existing CSS:
Gradually replace the styles in pages/landing.module.css with Tailwind utility classes.
Update the JSX in pages/index.js and pages/landing.js to use Tailwind classes instead of custom CSS classes.
This step-by-step refactoring ensures that we do not break existing functionality and can test each change incrementally.
Remove unused CSS files:
Once all styles have been migrated to Tailwind, remove the old CSS files.
This helps in cleaning up the codebase and removing any redundant styles.
Update documentation:
Update the README.md to reflect the changes in the styling approach.
Provide guidelines on how to use Tailwind CSS for future development.
This ensures that all contributors are aware of the new styling framework and can follow the same practices.
By following these steps, we can successfully transition to Tailwind CSS, making our styling more efficient and maintainable.
