Guide on using TailwindCSS in Play Framework (without npm)

[hertg]

I have just published a guide on how to use TailwindCSS in a Play Framework project, without relying on nodejs and npm.
Since TailwindCSS offers a standalone CLI, and thanks to the source file tasks of sbt-web, we can integrate the Tailwind compilation into the sbt build of Play.

The guide can be found here:
https://hertig.blog/posts/tailwindcss-in-play-framework-without-npm/

And an example project is publicly available here:

Maybe this will be useful for anyone who only dares to touch Javascript bundlers with a long stick... Because I haven't found a stick of sufficient length yet :)

I had to write an sbt-postcss plugin for it 🤣 . Your way is much more lightweight. Thank you for sharing.
