Introduction to Tailwind CSS

Tailwind CSS is a CSS framework that defines 1000s of CSS classes that are used to replace working with CSS rules and properties directly.

Opening or creating a project

Pinegrow projects are simply folders on your computer that contain a website or web application.

Activating the Tailwind extension

Pinegrow Web Editor has extensions that implement support for frameworks like TailwindCSS, Bootstrap, Foundation… To start working with Tailwind Visual Editor we have to first activate it for the page.

Visual controls

Visual controls are the core of Tailwind Visual Editor. They are located in the Properties panel.

Customized Tailwind CSS themes

Helpers

There are a bunch of Tailwind helpers sprinkled throughout Pinegrow Web Editor:

Styles

Tailwind Visual Editor comes with a powerful feature that makes working with Tailwind even easier – Styles and Styles manager.

Tailwind Blocks

Tailwind Visual Editor comes with a rich library of ready-made blocks that you can use to quickly create good-looking Tailwind CSS projects.

Component libraries

TailwindCSS differs from frameworks like Bootstrap in that it comes with no ready-made components like buttons, alerts…

Tailwind CSS Design panel

The Pinegrow Design panel for the Tailwind CSS framework allows you to easily set up a custom theme without editing any config file or setting up a complex compiler. It also allows you to test alternative designs for your whole project quickly and easily.

Tailwind CSS Floating Tools

The Floating Tools panel allows you to style your Tailwind CSS page with many of the common classes directly within the Page View, speeding up page construction and design implementation. No more switching between the page and the Properties or Style Panel. Let’s explore just what this tool allows you to do!

TailwindUI

TailwindUI is a premium Tailwind component library created by authors of TailwindCSS. Tailwind Visual Editor adds the TailwindUI library into the Library panel and extends visual controls with Tailwind UI extensions.
