You have to run tailwindcss bin through zombie.sh Port — Elixir v1.12.2

Just a heads up latest tailwind no longer needs the zombie.sh wrapper!

@Sebb

I’d like to give that a try, but I’m struggling with heex. Are there any resources about that topic already?

You probably figured it out, but for others, start here: https://hexdocs.pm/phoenix_live_view/Phoenix.LiveView.Helpers.html#sigil_H/2

Also note you don’t have to convert to .heex right now, so feel free to take it easy.

@PJo336

You mention CDN is not a good idea, isn’t the new Rails 7 system based on using CDNs? Is there a reason this is bad? My memory of the old days was all CDNs

I believe he refers to the CDN version of Tailwind specifically, which I believe includes all classes and it is often too large. So you definitely want Tailwind to be tailored to your needs. Other than that, using CDN is !

PS: I will close this thread so we unify all of those useful updates tips and feedback in one place. But I enjoyed the waiting period and seeing people excited about the release here. Here is the 1.6.0-rc announcement: Phoenix 1.6.0-rc.0 released!
