Install Tailwind CSS with Laravel

Create your project
Start by creating a new Laravel project if you don’t have one set up already. The most common approach is to use the Composer create-project command.
Terminal
```
composer create-project laravel/laravel my-projectcd my-project
```
Install Tailwind CSS
Install tailwindcss and its peer dependencies via npm, and then run the init command to generate both tailwind.config.js and postcss.config.js.
Terminal
```
npm install -D tailwindcss postcss autoprefixernpx tailwindcss init -p
```

Configure your template paths

Add the paths to all of your template files in your tailwind.config.js file.

tailwind.config.js

/** @type {import('tailwindcss').Config} */
export default {
  content: [
    "./resources/**/*.blade.php",
    "./resources/**/*.js",
    "./resources/**/*.vue",
  ],
  theme: {
    extend: {},
  },
  plugins: [],
}

Add the Tailwind directives to your CSS
Add the @tailwind directives for each of Tailwind’s layers to your ./resources/css/app.css file.
app.css
```
@tailwind base;
@tailwind components;
@tailwind utilities;
```
Start your build process
Run your build process with npm run dev.
Terminal
```
npm run dev
```

Start using Tailwind in your project

Make sure your compiled CSS is included in the <head> then start using Tailwind’s utility classes to style your content.

app.blade.php

<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
  <meta charset="utf-8">
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
  @vite('resources/css/app.css')
</head>
<body>
  <h1 class="text-3xl font-bold underline">
    Hello world!
  </h1>
</body>
</html>
