Tailwind CSS v4 Development Guidelines

Best practices for using Tailwind CSS v4 utility classes effectively.

Note: Tailwind CSS v4 (released January 2025) uses a CSS-first configuration approach. If you need v3 compatibility, tailwind.config.js is still supported.

Core Principles

1. Utility-First: Use utility classes instead of custom CSS
2. Mobile-First: Design for mobile, then scale up with responsive modifiers
3. Component Extraction: Extract repeated patterns into components
4. Consistent Spacing: Use Tailwind's spacing scale
5. Custom Configuration: Extend the default theme for brand consistency

Basic Utilities

Layout

// Flexbox
<div className="flex items-center justify-between gap-4">
  <div className="flex-1">Content</div>
  <div className="flex-shrink-0">Sidebar</div>
</div>

// Grid
<div className="grid grid-cols-3 gap-4">
  <div>1</div>

// Positioning
<div className="relative">
  <div className="absolute top-0 right-0">Badge</div>

Spacing

// Padding and Margin
<div className="p-4 m-2">           {/* padding: 1rem, margin: 0.5rem */}
<div className="px-6 py-4">        {/* padding-x: 1.5rem, padding-y: 1rem */}
<div className="mt-8 mb-4">        {/* margin-top: 2rem, margin-bottom: 1rem */}

// Space between children
<div className="space-y-4">        {/* margin-bottom on all but last child */}
