# Tailwind CSS Tips and Tricks
|
|
|
|
Tailwind CSS has changed how we write styles. Here are some advanced tips to take your Tailwind skills to the next level.
|
|
|
|
## Use @apply Sparingly
|
|
|
|
While `@apply` is useful for extracting repeated patterns, overusing it defeats the purpose of utility-first CSS. Keep most styles in your JSX.
|
|
|
|
## Leverage JIT Mode
|
|
|
|
The Just-In-Time compiler generates styles on-demand, giving you:
|
|
|
|
- Faster build times
|
|
- Smaller file sizes
|
|
- All variants enabled by default
|
|
|
|
## Custom Utilities
|
|
|
|
Extend Tailwind with custom utilities in your `tailwind.config.js`:
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
module.exports = {
|
|
theme: {
|
|
extend: {
|
|
spacing: {
|
|
'128': '32rem',
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Conclusion
|
|
|
|
These tips will help you use Tailwind CSS more effectively and build better UIs faster.
