I am trying to add tailwind css with react app. I followed the tailwind documentation,how to set up tailwind with react.

I tried with tailwind latest version.I checked Nodejs and npm are installed perfectly.

But when i run the npm run start it always get an error. I can’t fix the problem.

    ],
    "development": [

      "last 1 firefox version",
      "last 1 safari version"
    ]
  },

Answer

If you follow tailwind documents way, then try this, in the package.json

  "scripts": {
    "start": "craco start && postcss src/css/app.css -o public/app.css", <--- need to inser postcss script as your css reference path.
    "build": "craco build",

and also check your craco.config.js like this.

module.exports = {
  style: {
    postcss: {
      plugins: [require("tailwindcss"), require("autoprefixer")],
    },
  },
};

happy coding!
