Follow Along

In this follow along we are going to build a basic template to start building out your react application using React, Tailwind UI, and Tailwind CSS.

Tailwind UI is Tailwind CSS’s latest library that they are building for already built components. ie (side nav, cards, tables, full-on dashboards, etc)

Step 1: Create React App

Let's create the react app! If you’re familiar with react this should be familiar.

Open up your terminal and run the following:

>> npx create-react-app tailwindcss-react-template

This will install react in your current working directory.
