FAQPage Schema
How do I set up Tailwind CSS v4 in an Expo project without Babel?▼

Tailwind CSS v4 setup in Expo is automated using NativeWind v5 and react-native-css, configuring metro.config.js via Expo Metro and a PostCSS config with @tailwindcss/postcss to enable a Babel-free cross-platform styling workflow.

What is NativeWind v5 and how does it handle CSS styling for React Native?▼

NativeWind v5 compiles Tailwind CSS classes into React Native compatible styles using react-native-css, allowing developers to apply utility-first CSS across iOS, Android, and Web from a single global CSS file.

Can I use Tailwind CSS for Web, iOS, and Android in the same Expo app?▼

Yes, this setup applies CSS-based styling universally across iOS, Android, and Web. It requires explicit component wrappers and a global CSS file to ensure consistent platform rendering.

Do I need a PostCSS config for Tailwind v4 in Expo?▼

Yes, a PostCSS config utilizing @tailwindcss/postcss is required alongside updates to metro.config.js. These configurations process the Tailwind directives and enable the react-native-css integration.

Why use a Babel-free Tailwind workflow in Expo React Native?▼

A Babel-free workflow uses Expo Metro configuration instead, simplifying the build pipeline by relying on PostCSS and react-native-css to process Tailwind styles directly without custom Babel transformers.

Where do configuration files go when integrating Tailwind in Expo?▼

All configuration files, including metro.config.js, the PostCSS config, and the global CSS file, must live under the project root to properly integrate Tailwind CSS v4 with NativeWind v5.
