<p>In March, I was a guest again on the Talking Drupal podcast. This time I was talking about utility CSS and, in particular, the Tailwind CSS framework.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I've become a big fan of this approach to styling websites and was an early adopter of Tailwind, and have released <a href="https://www.drupal.org/project/tailwindcss">a starter-kit theme</a> for building custom Drupal themes with Tailwind CSS based on what I was using for my own client projects.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="rebuilding-talking-drupal-with-tailwind">Rebuilding Talking Drupal with Tailwind</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>Usually when I give a Tailwind CSS talk at a conference or user group, I rebuild something familiar - maybe a page of their website - as an example and to explain some of the concepts and anything that was particularly interesting during the build. (I have <a href="/blog/uis-ive-rebuilt-tailwind-css">a blog post</a> that lists the ones that I've done before).</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>After this podcast episode, I built a <a href="https://talking-drupal-tailwindcss.oliverdavies.uk">Tailwind version of the Talking Drupal homepage</a>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>But, given that Drupal uses Twig and that we'd talked about best practices around using a templating engine to use loops and extract components to organise code and reduce duplication, I definitely wanted to build this example using Twig templates.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Drupal seemed like too much for a single page example, and Symfony or Sculpin could distract from the main focus of the demo, so I decided to start from scratch with an empty PHP file and add Twig and any other dependencies myself.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><a href="https://github.com/opdavies/talking-drupal-tailwindcss">The code repository</a> is publicly viewable on my GitHub profile so people can look at the code and see some of the things that I talked about during the episode in practice and not just the resulting HTML a browser.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>You can <a href="https://talkingdrupal.com/338">listen to the episode</a>, and if you want any more information, the slides and video from my <a href="/talks/taking-flight-with-tailwind-css">Taking Flight with Tailwind CSS talk</a> are on my website.</p>
