Tailwind not loaded with nextjs

Question

I'm tring to crete an app using tailwindcss and next.js

I sterted creating the nextjs app, then I runned these commands:

npm install -D tailwindcss postcss autoprefixer

npx tailwindcss init -p

After that I updated the tailwind.config.js like:

module.exports = {
  content: [
    "./pages/**/*.{js,ts,jsx,tsx}",
    "./components/**/*.{js,ts,jsx,tsx}",
  ],
  theme: {
    extend: {},
  },
  plugins: [],
}

And, then I created and populated the./syles/globals.css with:

@tailwind base;
@tailwind components;
@tailwind utilities;

all this step by step is on the website: https://tailwindcss.com/docs/guides/nextjs but still any attempt at customization doesn't work, is there any way to know if tailwind has been loaded? Was there something missing to be done?

Answer 1

Firstly import globals.css into _app.js

import '../styles/globals.css'

Also instead of @tailwind do below to add tailwind into globals.css

/* @tailwind base;
@tailwind components;
@tailwind utilities; */

@import 'tailwindcss/base';
@import 'tailwindcss/components';
@import 'tailwindcss/utilities';
