Tailwind CSS
open-in-new
<p>Tailwind CSS is an <a href="/facts/Open-source/7X9rCdz4">open-source</a> <a href="/facts/CSS_framework/2tEnktQc">CSS framework</a>. Unlike other frameworks, like <a href="/facts/Bootstrap_(front-end_framework)/3m5HALpd">Bootstrap</a>, it does not provide a series of predefined classes for <a href="/facts/HTML_element/s4TKzjUP">elements</a> such as buttons or tables. Instead, it creates a list of "utility" CSS classes that can be used to style each element by mixing and matching. </p><p>For example, in other traditional systems, there would be a class message-warning that would apply a yellow background color and bold text. To achieve this result in Tailwind, one would have to apply a set of classes created by the library: bg-yellow-300 and font-bold. </p><p>As of 5 August 2024, Tailwind CSS has over 81,000 stars on <a href="/facts/GitHub/n1hNCsc3">GitHub</a>. </p>
