What is Node.js?
Node.js is a JavaScript runtime built on Chrome's
V8 engine. It allows running JavaScript code outside a browser. Used for backend development, APIs, and real- time applications. Non-blocking, event-driven architecture for high performance. Popular for full-stack development with frameworks like Express.js. What is npm?
- npm (Node Package Manager) is the default
package manager for Node.js. - It allows developers to install, share, and manage dependencies. - Provides access to a vast registry of open-source packages. - Used to automate scripts, manage project dependencies, and build modern web apps. - Commands: `npm install`, `npm start`, `npm run build`, etc. Step 1: Initialize an npm Project
Open a terminal and create a new folder for your
project. Open the command prompt in the terminal (ctrl +`) Run the following command to initialize an npm project: npm init -y This creates a `package.json` file with default settings. Step 2: Install Tailwind CSS v4
Install Tailwind CSS v4 using npm
Command: npm install tailwindcss @tailwindcss/cli You should get the following files and folder in vs code editor Step 3: Create a Tailwind CSS Input File
Create a folder named src and create the
following files Input.css, index.html Step 4: Import tailwindcss in input.css Step 5: Add a Start Script
Open the package.json file
Add a start script with the following command in it “start”: “npx @tailwindcss/cli -i ./src/input.css -o ./src/output.css --watch” Step 6: Run Tailwind CSS
- Start the Tailwind compiler by running:
npm start - This generates `output.css` in the src folder, whichcan be linked in your HTML. Conclusion
- Node.js allows running JavaScript outside the
browser. - Tailwind CSS v4 can be easily set up using Tailwind CLI. - Running `npm start` will watch and compile Tailwind styles. - Now you are ready to build modern, responsive designs! 🚀
