Tailwind CSS Concept Explained

Organizing Your Styles & Customizing

Group common styles to reuse them easily (like a "main button" look).

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:

Using @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.
