🎨 Using TailwindCSS

This template comes with TailwindCSS pre-configured. You can start using utility classes immediately:

<div class="bg-blue-500 text-white p-4 rounded-lg shadow-md">
  <h1 class="text-2xl font-bold">Hello, TailwindCSS!</h1>
</div>

Customizing Tailwind

• Modify tailwind.config.js to customize your design system
• Add custom styles in src/app.css
• Use the @apply directive for component-based styling

🛠️ Development Tips

Adding New Pages

Create new routes by adding files to the src/routes/ directory:

• src/routes/about/+page.svelte → /about
• src/routes/blog/[slug]/+page.svelte → /blog/dynamic-slug

Components

Store reusable components in src/lib/ and import them:

<script>
  import MyComponent from '$lib/MyComponent.svelte';
</script>

Styling

• Use TailwindCSS utility classes for rapid development
• Create component variants using Tailwind's @apply directive
• Leverage TailwindCSS IntelliSense in VS Code for better DX
