Exploring Material Tailwind: the best Tailwind CSS component library

While creating a new project for a small project I was working on, I decided to explore simpler ways to do things that could save time on designing the interface of the web-app. While focusing more on the other logic, I came across a component that might have changed the way I see Tailwind CSS forever. After falling in love with Tailwind CSS 2 years ago, I began creating lovely components with it, and my styling became 10x faster. But there was something missing: a component library where you could easily use Tailwind CSS without hassle and manage your codebase easier. I came across this beautiful tailwind component library called Material Tailwind and it was awesome.

Material Tailwind is an easy-to-use component library that uses the power of React and Tailwind CSS to build web projects faster and easier. It works well with NextJs, Gatsby, and Vite, providing a good experience for developers.

Prerequisites/ Things needed

1. NodeJS

2. Git bash

3. Terminal

4. Tailwind CSS

5. React

Installation guide

1. Ensure you initialize your React project and add Tailwind CSS to it.
   Use the following guides
   a. Install React using npx
   b. Install using Vite
   c. Tailwind installation

2. Go to the terminal and navigate to your project structure (your React/NextJs app). Also, ensure that you have Tailwind CSS running, as that is one of the dependencies that you will need.

1. Now let's configure our TailwindCSS tailwind.config.js

Voila you are done!!!!

Key Features of Material Tailwind

1. Easy customization: Unlike other Tailwind CSS libraries, it offers easy customization in terms of components. It has a lovely organized feeling that makes it distinct.

1. Stunning Design: coupled with the fact that Material Tailwind has the ability to be customized, it gives developers a modern feel; unlike most other libraries that looked bootstrapped, the beauty of its design is exceptional.

2. Fast Setup: Though you need TailwindCSS as a major dependency, it is relatively easy to setup; you just need to follow 3 steps to be done.
