How do I configure Tailwind CSS v4 using the new CSS-first architecture?

Tailwind CSS v4 uses a CSS-first configuration approach where you define themes using the @theme directive and CSS variables instead of legacy JavaScript config files. This shift leverages native CSS features for maintainable styling.

What is the best way to migrate design tokens from Tailwind v3 to v4?

Migrating design tokens to Tailwind v4 involves moving your legacy JavaScript configuration into native CSS variables using the @theme directive. This ensures your utility-first styling system remains performant and maintainable.

How do container queries work for responsive design in Tailwind v4?

Container queries in Tailwind v4 allow you to build responsive designs based on a container's size rather than the viewport. You can implement modern layout patterns like Bento grids using native container query support.

Does Tailwind v4 require JavaScript configuration files for design tokens?

Tailwind v4 does not require JavaScript configuration files for design tokens. You define your design tokens directly within your CSS using the @theme directive, utilizing the Oxide engine for a modern, performant setup.

Why should I use CSS variables instead of a JS config for frontend web development?

Using CSS variables instead of a JS config for frontend web development aligns with Tailwind v4's CSS-first architecture. It provides native browser support, faster rendering, and better maintainability for your design-token-driven interfaces.
