Tailwind's configuration file also makes it easy to add it to an existing codebase, whether it uses custom CSS or another CSS framework.<\/p>\n\n

You can opt-out of Tailwind's CSS reset and normalisation by adding corePlugins: { preflight: false }<\/code> to tailwind.config.js, and if you have duplicate classes with existing classes and Tailwind-generated ones, you can add prefix: 'tw-'<\/code> to prefix all of Tailwind's class names and avoid the conflicts.<\/p>\n\n

If you need to deal with specificity, you can mark Tailwind-generated classes as important by adding important: true<\/code> so that they can override any existing styling. You can do the same in HTML code by prefixing a class name with an exclamation mark - e.g. !flex<\/code>.<\/p>\n\n

Or, if you know that your Tailwind styles will only be used within a certain element, like #app<\/code>, instead of making all classes important, by adding important: \"#app\"<\/code> to the configuration, Tailwind classes will be prefixed with that selector - making them more specific.<\/p>\n\n

Once these options are set, you can start using Tailwind without affecting the existing styles.<\/p>\n\n

Doing this, and starting small by using a small number of utilities can be a good step towards migrating an existing codebase to use Tailwind and removing the existing styles at a later date.<\/p>\n\n ", "format": "full_html", "processed": "\n
