create-react-js-tailwind

create-react-js-tailwind is an NPX script that scaffolds a React project with Vite and Tailwind CSS. It generates a complete boilerplate with configurations for ESLint, PostCSS, and TailwindCSS, providing you with a modern development setup out of the box.

Features

• React with JSX
• Vite for fast development and builds and no need to delete vite boilerplate
• Preconfigured Tailwind CSS for utility-first styling
• Preconfigured ESLint for linting

Installation

You can use this script directly with NPX, without needing to install it globally.

Create a folder and execute on that

1npx create-react-js-tailwind my-app

Execute on current directory

1npx create-react-js-tailwind .

Replace my-app with the desired name for your project folder. If you don't provide a name, it will scaffold the project in the current directory.

Usage

After running the command, navigate to your project folder (if created in a new directory) and install dependencies:

1cd my-app
2npm install
3npm run dev
