For those familiar with preprocessors like SCSS, Tailwind CSS provides an organized and easy-to-learn approach to styling web applications. While SCSS allows us to write custom CSS code using variables, functions, and mixins, Tailwind CSS follows a utility-first approach where pre-defined CSS classes are used directly in HTML markup.
While the framework provides a large set of utility classes, it is essential to combine them with components in order to create a consistent user interface without writing repetitive code. By using Tailwind CSS with components, we can achieve a clean, efficient, and scalable design system.
