The feature is to replace the current CSS styling with Tailwind CSS in the project.
Why we need the feature
Tailwind CSS is a utility-first CSS framework that provides low-level utility classes to build custom designs without having to leave the HTML. It can significantly reduce the amount of custom CSS we need to write, improve consistency across the application, and make it easier to maintain and scale the design system.
How to implement and why
Install Tailwind CSS: Begin by installing Tailwind CSS via npm. This will allow us to use the latest version and easily manage updates.
Configure Tailwind: Create a tailwind.config.js file to customize the default configuration. This will help in setting up custom colors, fonts, and other design tokens that match the current design system.
Purge Unused CSS: Set up the purge option in the Tailwind configuration to remove unused styles in production builds, which will help in keeping the CSS bundle size small.
Refactor Styles: Gradually replace existing CSS classes with Tailwind's utility classes. Start with common components and layouts to ensure a consistent look and feel across the application.
Test and Validate: Thoroughly test the application to ensure that the new styles do not break existing functionality and that the design remains consistent.
Documentation: Update the project documentation to reflect the use of Tailwind CSS, including any custom configurations or design tokens.
About backward compatibility
Backward compatibility is not a concern for this change as it is a complete overhaul of the styling system. However, we should ensure that the visual appearance remains consistent with the previous design to avoid any disruption for users.
