    Hi!

    I just started using Umbraco and it feels really great so far.

    I would really like to use Tailwind CSS but I can't really get it going. I've tried something called Chime Starter Kit - but it doesn't seem to work.

    Can anyone kindly guide me on how to get Tailwind going in Umbraco? I'm using Umbraco v. 10.3.2

    Cheers in advance! Adrian

    I love Tailwind!

    I install it in the root of my project, and then I add a tailwind.config.js and a main.css file in /UI/CSS (thats just how I like to organize it).

    In my tailwind config, I set the content value to "./Views/*/.cshtml", and then I add a script in my package.json file for building the css.

    cross-env NODE_ENV=production && npx tailwindcss -i ./UI/CSS/main.css -o ./wwwroot/css/main.css -c ./UI/CSS/tailwind.config.js --minify

    I also have a watch script for development

    npx tailwindcss -i ./UI/CSS/main.sss -o ./wwwroot/css/main.css -c ./UI/CSS/tailwind.config.js --watch --minify

    Hello Søren,

    Can you guide me to how you get an Umbraco project with Tailwind in Visual Studio code?

    I would like to try this combo out :-)

    Like this? Screenshot

    What command do you use to run the script? Npx run build, npm run build? None of them are working and I don't know why. :)

    Cheers!
