Steps to Install & Configure the Tailwind CSS

Through npm:

• Basically, Tailwind is available on npm and you can install it using the following command:

Tailwind CSS CDN Link:

<link href=
”https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/tailwindcss@2.2.7/dist/tailwind.min.css” 
         rel=”stylesheet”>

Cause of Error:

The issue arises due to the conflicting usage of responsive width classes in the Tailwind CSS framework. For example, the class lg:w-1/2 sets the width to half on large screens, and sm:w-full sets it to full width on small screens. However, the subsequent !lg:w-1/4 attempts to override the large screen width, creating a conflict. This conflicting combination of responsive width classes can lead to unexpected behavior and layout issues in the design.

Example: This example illustrates the override of the responsive breakpoint issue in Tailwind CSS.

Output:

Tailwind CSS offers a straightforward syntax for responsive design using breakpoints. The syntax typically involves adding responsive classes to HTML elements, like sm:, md:, lg:, and xl:, followed by the desired utility class.

In this article, we will see how to fix an issue with Tailwind CSS where responsive breakpoint overrides do not function and then will understand their basic implementation to resolve the issue with different approaches.
