The feature involves replacing the current CSS styling of the project with Tailwind CSS, a utility-first CSS framework.
Why we need the feature
Tailwind CSS offers a more efficient and scalable way to style web applications. It allows for rapid development with its utility classes, reduces the need for custom CSS, and promotes consistency across the application. This can lead to improved maintainability and potentially smaller CSS file sizes due to its purging capabilities.
How to implement and why
Install Tailwind CSS: Add Tailwind CSS to the project using npm or yarn. This is the first step to integrate Tailwind into the build process.
Configure Tailwind: Create a tailwind.config.js file to customize the default configuration. This allows us to define custom themes, colors, and other design tokens that align with the project's design requirements.
Purge Unused CSS: Set up the purge option in the Tailwind configuration to remove unused styles in production builds. This helps in keeping the CSS file size minimal.
Refactor Existing Styles: Gradually replace existing CSS classes with Tailwind's utility classes. This can be done incrementally to ensure that the transition does not break existing styles.
Test the Application: Thoroughly test the application to ensure that the new styles are applied correctly and that there are no visual regressions.
Documentation Update: Update any relevant documentation to reflect the changes in the styling approach and provide guidance on using Tailwind CSS for future development.
About backward compatibility
Backward compatibility is not a concern in this case as the change is purely related to styling. However, care should be taken to ensure that the visual appearance of the application remains consistent with the current design specifications.
