How to setup Tailwind for a new Angular project?

问题

I want to create a new Angular project using Tailwind CSS. My current CLI version is 10.1.1. Things I have done so far:

• Create a new app using ng new my-app
• Use Angular routing => yes
• Use SCSS as the stylesheet
• In the root directory of the project run npm i tailwindcss postcss-import postcss-loader postcss-scss @angular-builders/custom-webpack -D
• In the src folder there is a styles.scss file, modify it to

.

@import 'tailwindcss/base';
@import 'tailwindcss/components';
@import 'tailwindcss/utilities';

• In the root directory of the project run npx tailwind init
• In the root directory of the project create a new file webpack.config.js with the following content

.

module.exports = {
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.scss$/,
        loader: "postcss-loader",
        options: {
          ident: "postcss",
          syntax: "postcss-scss",
          plugins: () => [
            require("postcss-import"),
            require("tailwindcss"),
            require("autoprefixer"),
          ],
        },
      },
    ],
  },
};

• In the root directory there is a Angular.json file
  • Search for the key projects => my-app => architect => build
    • Change the builder to "builder": "@angular-builders/custom-webpack:browser",
    • Add to the options

.

"customWebpackConfig": {
    "path": "./webpack.config.js"
},

• Search for the key projects => my-app => architect => serve
  • Change the builder to "builder": "@angular-builders/custom-webpack:dev-server",
  • Add to the options

.

"customWebpackConfig": {
    "path": "./webpack.config.js"
},

• Run the app with ng serve from the app's root directory

I'm getting this error

ERROR in ./src/styles.scss (./node_modules/css-loader/dist/cjs.js??ref--13-1!./node_modules/@angular-devkit/build-angular/node_modules/postcss-loader/src??embedded!./node_modules/resolve-url-loader??ref--13-3!./node_modules/sass-loader/dist/cjs.js??ref--13-4!./node_modules/postcss-loader/dist/cjs.js??postcss!./src/styles.scss) Module build failed (from ./node_modules/postcss-loader/dist/cjs.js): ValidationError: Invalid options object.

How can I setup Tailwind correctly?

回答1:

Imports are 'tailwindcss', not 'tailwind':

@import 'tailwindcss/base';
@import 'tailwindcss/components';
@import 'tailwindcss/utilities';

I have found the answer after banging my head everywhere today, change your webpack.config.js to,

module.exports = {
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.scss$/,
        loader: "postcss-loader",
        options: {
          postcssOptions: {
            ident: "postcss",
            syntax: "postcss-scss",
            plugins: [
              require("postcss-import"),
              require("tailwindcss"),
              require("autoprefixer"),
            ],
          },
        },
      },
    ],
  },
};

There is small change, plugins now take array instead of function. Thanks in advance 😉.

If anyone is still running into issue, checkout this blog I've written on Angular 10 + Tailwind CSS 👇

I managed to get Angular 10 + Angular Material to work with Tailwind CSS using configuration highlighted in this diff - Tailwind CSS support in Angular 10, with Angular Material.

Some key points besides what has already been highlighted in the question/answers:

• Need to explicitly install postcss (8.x). Somehow default pulls (7.x) causing Error: true is not a PostCSS plugin.
• Config in webpack.config.js depends on postcss-loader version 4.x.
• If you are using Angular Material, you will get Error: Failed to find '~@angular/material/theming'. To resolve this, I limit the scss files that will be processed by postcss by separating the scss file (i.e. test: /tailwind\.scss$/ in webpack.config.js).

So far, looks like it is working. 🤞
