Notes
This setup is a basic starting point for using Tailwind CSS with Next.js. This example also includes the following PostCSS plugins:
- postcss-preset-env - Adds stage 2+ features and autoprefixes
- purgecss - Removes unused CSS
Limitations
Dynamically generated class strings will be purged
Purgecss takes a very straightforward approach to removing unused CSS. It simply searches an entire file for a string that matches a regular expression. As a result, class strings that are dynamically created in a template using string concatenation will be considered unused and removed from your stylesheet. Tailwind CSS addresses this problem in more detail in their documentation.
