## Tailwind
To enable support for Tailwind in your project, you need to add two config files — [`tailwind.config.cjs`](https://tailwindcss.com/docs/configuration#configuration-options) and `postcss.config.cjs` — to the root directory.
With these files present, Wasp installs the necessary dependencies and copies your configuration to the generated project. You can then use [Tailwind CSS directives](https://tailwindcss.com/docs/functions-and-directives#directives) in your CSS and Tailwind classes on your React components.
```bash title="tree ." {13-14}

:::tip Tailwind not working?
If you can not use Tailwind after adding the required config files, make sure to restart `wasp start`. This is sometimes needed to ensure that Wasp picks up the changes and enables Tailwind integration.
:::
### Enabling Tailwind Step-by-Step
:::caution
Make sure to use the `.cjs` extension for these config files, if you name them with a `.js` extension, Wasp will not detect them.
:::
1. Add `./tailwind.config.cjs`.
```js title="./tailwind.config.cjs"
/** @type {import('tailwindcss').Config} */
module.exports = {
content: [ "./src/**/*.{js,jsx,ts,tsx}" ],
theme: {
extend: {},
},
plugins: [],
}
```
2. Add `./postcss.config.cjs`.
```js title="./postcss.config.cjs"
module.exports = {
plugins: {
tailwindcss: {},
autoprefixer: {},
},
}
```
3. Import Tailwind into your CSS file. For example, in a new project you might import Tailwind into `Main.css`.
```css title="./src/client/Main.css" {1-3}
@tailwind base;
@tailwind components;
@tailwind utilities;
/* ... */
```
4. Start using Tailwind 🥳
```jsx title="./src/client/MainPage.jsx"
// ...
<h1 className="text-3xl font-bold underline">
Hello world!
</h1>
// ...
```
### Adding Tailwind Plugins
To add Tailwind plugins, add it to [dependencies](/docs/project/dependencies) in your `main.wasp` file and to the plugins list in your `tailwind.config.cjs` file:
```wasp title="./main.wasp" {4-5}
app todoApp {
// ...
dependencies: [
("@tailwindcss/forms", "^0.5.3"),
("@tailwindcss/typographjy", "^0.5.7"),
],
// ...
}
```
```js title="./tailwind.config.cjs" {5-6}
/** @type {import('tailwindcss').Config} */
module.exports = {
// ...
plugins: [
require('@tailwindcss/forms'),
require('@tailwindcss/typography'),
],
// ...
}
```
