This simple usage comes at the cost of performance: Tailwind's full CSS build is 3.5+ MB of CSS. For any serious production use, the Tailwind team **strongly** recommends using [PostCSS](https://postcss.org/). + +#### Using Tailwind with PostCSS + +Follow our [PostCSS guide](/guides/postcss) to set up PostCSS in your Snowpack project. Then, add Tailwind and autoprefixer as plugins to your `postcss.config.js`: + +```js +// postcss.config.js +// Taken from: https://tailwindcss.com/docs/installation#using-tailwind-with-postcss +module.exports = { + plugins: [ + // ... + require('tailwindcss'), + require('autoprefixer'), + // ... + ], +}; +``` + +Once the plugin is enabled, you can replace your native CSS `dist` imports with Tailwind's more powerful `base`, `components`, and `utilities` imports: + +```diff +/* index.css */ +- @import 'tailwindcss/dist/tailwind.css'; ++ @tailwind base; ++ @tailwind components; ++ @tailwind utilities; + +``` + +Follow the official [Tailwind CSS Docs](https://tailwindcss.com/docs/installation/#using-tailwind-with-postcss) for more information. |
