Browser & Version

Steps to reproduce

1. look for grid-cols-4 in tailwind.css

What is expected?

all the default options that appear in the documentation would be built into the tailwind.css

What is actually happening?

not sure if it’s really a bug - but it seems that some of the CSS definitions are missing comparing to the official tailwind documentation.

for example see https://tailwindcss.com/docs/grid-template-columns#class-reference, grid-cols-3 to 10 are missing from tailwind.css, but it’s also at colors like bg-lightBlue-100 etc.

Solution

i tried to rebuild the tailwind.css via tailwind build src/assets/styles/index.css -o src/assets/styles/tailwind.css with no sucesuss, this is the configurations:

If you’re wondering why this does not take effect after removing or disabling purge option, and restarting via npm start; you need to rebuild the tailwind.css file each time you add a previously unused class. For instance, if you haven’t been using w-3/12, this won’t be included in tailwind.css and you won’t see it in action even after restart.

You can build the tailwind.css with npm run tailwind:build.

To avoid having to build each time a new class is added, you can safeList some of the frequently needed classes in development as such in tailwind.config.js:

const safeList = [/(\w?):?w-/, /^-?m(\w?)-/, /^p(\w?)-/, /^text-/, /^bg-/, 'underline'];

module.exports = {
  purge: {
    enabled: true,
    content: [
      './public/**/*.html',
      './public/*.html',
      './src/**/*.js',
      './src/*.js',
      './src/**/*.html',
      './src/*.html',
      './public/**/*.js',
      './public/*.js',
    ],
    options: {
      safelist: process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production' ? [] : safeList,
    },
  },
...

Edit: Added some useful regex’s for safeList

in production you should use this option-- it’s should recognize your used attribute when you build the CSS - checked it works great. see https://tailwindcss.com/docs/optimizing-for-production
