I think both bootstrap and tailwind css are great! It's dependent on what your projects requirements and preferences are, my first project l used bootstrap but l will suggest that it's good to learn both framework.
Yeah but for beginners bootstrap is more suitable at first. Getting used to a css framework is important before moving into tailwind css. That is what i did at least.
Thanks for sharing the knowledge, I second you on that Murad!
Personally I think it'd be better to learn the fundamentals of CSS first rather than an abstraction. In this instance I'd say learn CSS, then Tailwind instead of Bootstrap - it's more modern and it's "closer to the metal".
Full disclosure, I'd also say learn the fundamentals of CSS and don't bother with Tailwind (or any other HTML-based framework) so take what I say with a pinch of salt.
Yeah, 100% true!
It depends on the project.
Great article. I'd like to note that if you try to go a bit further than the basic example bootstrap continues to have a short, readable, and with clear markup while tailwind gets more and more clutter HTML.
I love bootstrap so much that I'm even trying to give it a new kinda of life with ui.bootstrap.ninja
Since the bootstrap ecosystem was really leaking of high quality, production-grade components
Thank Giovanni, l will release more about Bootstrap soon!
You are so right. I am a backend person, I do frontend from time to time. Tailwind is hard to remember if you don't use it often like frontend guys do, I purchased a few templates and the markup was so ugly, that it feels like the tabular layouts with in-line CSS we used in the early web days. Touch one thing and the whole thing breaks.
Tailwind Topography and colors look neat though, and there are some nice component libraries on top of Tailwind like "daisyui" that make it easier to work with.
I still prefer just CSS and Bootstrap :-) uncomplicated(btn-primary, col-md-6 etc...), and I know both well enough to do just about anything I want.
The Choose Tailwind CSS if section looks to be unfinished.
Thanks Peter!
It should be noted that Bootstrap offers utility classes too. See getbootstrap.com/docs/5.3/utilitie... for example. This kind of stuff is not limited to tailwind. ...actually, almost all CSS frameworks have utility classes.
Check UnoCSS too
Thanks Eshimischi. Will look into that too!
Great share!
Great comparison.
There are many pre-styled components for Tailwind.
Great article.
Tailwind
Great post ! thanks for sharing these thoughts
Great article!
TailwindCSS removed purge since 3.0 there's a dedicated section addressing optimization using its own cli and CssNano
The purge config option might have been removed, but there's still an option to add a 'content' config that does the same job as far as I'm aware.
