Tailwind CSS is an open source CSS framework. The main feature of this library is that, unlike other CSS frameworks like Bootstrap, it does not provide a series of predefined classes for elements such as buttons or tables. Instead, it creates a list of "utility" CSS classes that can be used to style each element by mixing and matching.[4][5]
For example, in other traditional systems, there would be a class message-warning
that would apply a yellow background color and bold text. To achieve this result in Tailwind, one would have to apply a set of classes created by the library: bg-yellow-300
and font-bold
.
As of 30 July 2023, Tailwind CSS has over 70,000 stars on GitHub.[6]
