Skill ID: OrganizingStyles_50
Description: Apply a consistent combination of styles to many elements.
Where to apply: For any element you use repeatedly (buttons, cards).
Key Tailwind Classes:
@apply
in a CSS file or creating components (React, Vue, etc.).
Gotcha:
Overusing
@apply
in your CSS. While it can seem convenient for creating custom classes like
.btn-primary
, it can lead back to a more traditional CSS workflow and make it harder to see the underlying utility classes at a glance in your HTML. For larger applications, building reusable components with a JavaScript framework is generally preferred over heavy
@apply
usage. If using
@apply
, it's best for small, self-contained utility-like abstractions.
