Tailwind Commands Cheat Sheet

Tailwind CSS is a utility-first CSS framework packed with classes that can be composed to build any design, directly in your markup.

Features:

Utility-first:

Tailwind css is a utility-first css framework that provides low-level utility classes to build custom designs without writing css.This approach allows us to implement a completely custom component design without writing a single line of custom CSS."You aren’t wasting energy inventing class names".

It is the process of removing unused CSS classes from the final CSS file that will be used in production environment.It is an optimization process in which the final CSS size is smaller, easier to maintain and shows improved performance.
