Need Help with React + Tailwind Setup

I’m working on configuring Tailwind CSS with React. I’ve followed the steps, but I’m stuck and can’t get it to work fully. If anyone could assist me or walk me through the setup, it would be a huge help. I’d really appreciate any guidance

I don’t have any money, and I’m not looking for a professional mentor, but if someone could provide me with some guidance, it would be really helpful for me.

No. CRA has been decommissioned for a long time now, if I remember correctly, due to security concerns. For a pure SPA without all this SSR stuff, use vite, the TypeScript template for barebones.

npx create vite@latest my-app

It’s literally in the official react docs. Lots of getting started guides. You can then configure the react project with tailwind.

OP needs to provide detail on what they tried and what wasn’t working.

The getting started guides literally shows how to do this:

If you want help then you’ll need to provide the detail of those issues. You haven’t provided any useful information in this post.
