If you’ve been journeying through the universe of React, you might have bumped into two rising stars: Radix-UI and Tailwind CSS. Today, our mission is to explore the magnificent landscapes of these two libraries, and how they can be harnessed to create stunning React components. Buckle up, astronauts, for we’re about to embark on a cosmic adventure!

Prepping the Spaceship: Setting Up the Environment

Before we set off, we need to prepare our spaceship — in other words, set up our development environment. If you’ve already installed Node.js and npm, you’re good to go. If not, don’t fret! Just head over to the Node.js website and follow the instructions to install them.

Once you’ve got that sorted, create a new React project using “create-react-app”.
