Package description
Tailwind CSS is a utility-first CSS framework for rapidly building custom user interfaces. It is a highly customizable, low-level CSS framework that gives you all of the building blocks you need to build bespoke designs without any annoying opinionated styles you have to fight to override.
Responsive Design
Tailwind uses responsive design modifiers like 'md:' and 'lg:' to change styles based on the screen size.
<div class='bg-blue-500 md:bg-red-500 lg:bg-green-500'></div>State Variants
Tailwind provides state variants like 'hover:' and 'focus:' to apply styles on different element states.
<button class='bg-blue-500 hover:bg-blue-700 focus:outline-none focus:ring'></button>Utility Classes
Tailwind offers utility classes for spacing, sizing, colors, and more, allowing for a quick and easy styling process.
<div class='p-4 max-w-sm mx-auto'></div>Customization
Tailwind can be customized through the tailwind.config.js file, allowing you to define your own colors, spacing, and more.
// tailwind.config.js
module.exports = {
theme: {
extend: {
colors: {
'custom-color': '#da20d8'
}
}
}
};Bootstrap is a widely used CSS framework that comes with a set of pre-designed components and responsive grid system. Unlike Tailwind's utility-first approach, Bootstrap focuses on component classes, which can lead to more semantic HTML but less customization flexibility.
Foundation is a responsive front-end framework similar to Bootstrap, with a focus on mobile-first design. It provides a set of pre-styled components and a grid system. Foundation allows for more customization than Bootstrap but is less utility-focused compared to Tailwind.
Bulma is a modern CSS framework based on Flexbox. It is component-based like Bootstrap but with a simpler syntax. Bulma's design is more opinionated than Tailwind's, and it doesn't offer the same level of low-level control.
Tachyons is another utility-first CSS framework that aims to provide as much speed as possible by using small, single-purpose classes. It shares a similar philosophy with Tailwind but has a smaller community and less extensive documentation.
