Core Features & Use Cases

  • Tailwind-first styling: Leverage the latest Tailwind features, tokens, and conventions.
  • Theming with @theme: Manage design tokens via CSS variables and the Tailwind @theme directive.
  • Dark mode, OKLCH colors, and containers: Build accessible themes with perceptually uniform colors and container-based layouts.
  • Responsive design: Implement responsive layouts using breakpoints and container queries for robust UI.

Quick Start

Install Tailwind CSS in your project, configure PostCSS with the @tailwindcss/postcss plugin, enable the CSS-first theming approach using the @theme directive, and begin using color tokens and dark mode utilities immediately.

FAQPage Schema
How do I configure Tailwind CSS theming using the @theme directive?

Tailwind CSS theming with the @theme directive uses a CSS-first approach to define design tokens as CSS variables. You configure PostCSS with the @tailwindcss/postcss plugin and manage tokens directly in your CSS for consistent application theming.

What is the best way to implement dark mode in Tailwind CSS?

The best way to implement dark mode in Tailwind CSS is by defining perceptually uniform OKLCH color tokens within your @theme directive. This ensures accessible theme transitions and consistent color rendering across light and dark modes.

How do I use container queries for responsive design in Tailwind CSS?

Container queries in Tailwind CSS enable responsive layouts driven by a container's size rather than the viewport. You apply container-based breakpoints to build robust UI components that adapt dynamically to their surrounding layout context.

Does Tailwind CSS support OKLCH colors for modern web design?

Yes, Tailwind CSS supports OKLCH colors to create perceptually uniform design tokens. Using OKLCH within the @theme directive allows developers to build accessible themes with consistent visual lightness and saturation across different color spaces.

Do I need PostCSS to use Tailwind CSS CSS-first theming?

Yes, you need PostCSS configured with the @tailwindcss/postcss plugin to enable CSS-first theming. This setup processes the @theme directive and allows your project to immediately use dark mode utilities and color tokens.

When should I use container queries instead of breakpoints in Tailwind CSS?

Use container queries instead of standard breakpoints when building responsive layouts that need to adapt to their parent container size. Container-driven layouts provide robust UI behavior for reusable components placed in dynamically sized environments.
