index.css
- will not autoreload browser when css changes
- used by
yarn build:css
- used by
yarn build

These can be used manually but using the usual commands will run them anyways.
The idea behind the example
This setup is a basic starting point for using tailwind css and next. Along with tailwind, this example
also uses some other postcss plugins for imports, autoprefixing, and stripping whitespace/comments. The imports simply
allow for an easy way to split up css files but still get one bundled css file in static/css/bundle.css
.
Changing stylesheets does not trigger auto-reloads. Setting up auto-reloads was avoided
because the next.js read me does not recommend doing so. Although, that can easily be done with
some webpack loaders. If you are curious about using loaders with next look at this
example.
This project shows how you can set it up. Have a look at:
- pages/_document.js
- styles/config/postcss.config.js
- styles/config/tailwind.config.js
- styles/index.css
- styles/button.css
