1. Under packages folder, create tailwind-config folder.
2. Under tailwind-config folder create: File packages/tailwind-config/package.json

{
  "name": "tailwind-config",
  "version": "0.0.0",
  "private": true,
  "main": "index.js",

  }
}

File packages/tailwind-config/tailwind.config.js

const colors = require("tailwindcss/colors");

module.exports = {
    content: [
        // app content
        "./app/**/*.{js,ts,jsx,tsx}"
        // include packages if not transpiling
        // "../../packages/**/*.{js,ts,jsx,tsx}",
    ],
    theme: {
        extend: {},
    },
    plugins: [],
};

Nice. You added tailwind-config successfully. Now we need to install it by:
pnpm install

Install tailwindcss and tailwind-config for web app

To config tailwindcss for web app, we need to install following package:
pnpm add tailwindcss postcss autoprefixer --filter web


To install tailwind-config package for web, we can use this command:
pnpm add --save-dev tailwind-config@workspace --filter web

Create apps/web/postcss.config.js:

module.exports = {
    plugins: {
        tailwindcss: {},
        autoprefixer: {},
    },
};

Create apps/web/tailwind.config.js:

const sharedConfig = require("tailwind-config/tailwind.config.js");

module.exports = {
    presets: [sharedConfig],
};

Create apps/web/app/global.css

@tailwind base;
@tailwind components;
@tailwind utilities;

body {
  text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;
  -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;
}

In the apps/web/app/layout.tsx, import this line:

import "./global.css";

Now, we install tailwind css successfully for turbo project.
