Gatsby Starter for Tailwind CSS & Netlify

Start your project quickly with this Gatsby Starter, integrating Tailwind CSS for styling and ready for seamless deployment with Netlify.

Tailwind CSS is a utility-first CSS framework for rapidly building custom designs.

This starter uses Tailwind CSS v3.4.1 and includes a customised Tailwind configuration. It sets you up with the following:

• src/css/tailwind.css where Tailwind's base, components, and utilities directives are injected
• A customised tailwind.config.js file that extends the default theme with custom colors, spacing, font sizes, and screen sizes
• prettier
• gatsby-plugin-postcss including autoprefixer
• gatsby-plugin-react-helmet
• gatsby-plugin-manifest
• Includes a responsive nav bar, with animated hamburger dropdown
• Custom 404 Page

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have the following installed:

• Node.js (https://nodejs.org/)
• Gatsby CLI (npm install -g gatsby-cli)

This will prepare your environment for developing with Gatsby and Tailwind CSS.

🚀 Quick start

1. Create your Gatsby site

   Use the Gatsby CLI (npm install -g gatsby-cli if you don't have it already) to create your Gatsby site with Gatsby Starter TailwindCSS Netlify:

   gatsby new my-project-name https://github.com/ProximoBinks/gatsby-starter-tailwind-css-netlify

2. Start Developing

   Navigate to your project folder and start the development server:

   cd my-project-name
   gatsby develop

   If this doesn't work you may want to run the following commands then try again

   npm install
   npm update

3. Open the source code and start editing!

   Your site is now running at http://localhost:8000!

   Note: You'll also see a second link: http://localhost:8000/___graphql. This is a tool you can use to experiment with querying your data. Learn more about using this tool in the Gatsby tutorial.

   Open the my-project-name directory in your code editor of choice and edit src/pages/index.js. Save your changes and the browser will update in real time!

🚀 Quick start (Netlify)

Deploy this starter with one click on Netlify

When deploying with Netlify, use 'Build Command' gatsby clean && gatsby build, and make sure that it's 'Published to' public

Now you're all set to create your Gatsby site with Tailwind CSS, using the customised configuration, and deploy it effortlessly with Netlify!
