How can you create dashboard stats card using Tailwind CSS

Image description
The code starts with a

wrapper with the classes "flex", "flex-row", and "flex-wrap". This container gives its children a flexible style that lets them wrap to the next line if they need to.

There are four card parts inside the container. Each is made up of a

element with a different Tailwind CSS class. These classes control the width, padding, and flex behaviour of the card parts to get the layout you want on different screen sizes.

Each part of a card has a

element with the class "h-full rounded-xl bg-white shadow-2xl". This controls how the card looks, including the colour of its background, whether its sides are rounded, and whether it has a shadow.

In the content part of each card, there is a title, a value, and an optional tooltip. The title is shown by a h2 element with the class "text-3xl font-bold" and is centered vertically using the "self-center" class. The number is also a h2 element with the same classes, but the "Total Sales" card has an extra span element with a dollar sign in it. The tooltip is a small piece of text next to the value that shows how much the value has changed. It is hidden by default, but JavaScript and the "x-data" and "x-show" properties make it appear when the mouse is over it.

Below the number, there is an element that looks like a link that says "View more...". It has a class for styling when the mouse is over it.

Each card has a different look based on the colour scheme and SVG icon that go with it. The icons are inserted using an svg> element with the "bi" class, which refers to Bootstrap Icons. Using CSS positioning and change, the icons are put in the middle of a circle-shaped background.

Overall, the code uses both HTML and Tailwind CSS classes to make a nice style for a dashboard's stats cards. The flexible container and responsive classes make sure that the cards adjust to different screen sizes. This makes it good for a responsive site design.
