I'm following the LearnDjango Django Tailwind tutorial and have installed tailwindcss. After running the following command:
BASHnpx tailwindcss init
my terminal output confirmed that the file was created:
BASHC:\Users\ZACKAMATA>npx tailwindcss init Created Tailwind CSS config file: tailwind.config.js C:\Users\ZACKAMATA>npm -v 10.9.2 C:\Users\ZACKAMATA>cd documents C:\Users\ZACKAMATA\Documents>cd node C:\Users\ZACKAMATA\Documents\Node>dir Volume in drive C has no label.

I am unsure where the tailwind.config.js file is located on my system so I can add my templates directory paths. Any help locating and editing this file would be greatly appreciated.

Based on your terminal output, the tailwind.config.js
file was created in the directory where you ran the npx tailwindcss init
command, which appears to be C:\Users\ZACKAMATA\
.
The file should be in the directory where you executed the command. From your terminal output, that would be:
C:\Users\ZACKAMATA\tailwind.config.js
You can verify this by running:
BASHdir C:\Users\ZACKAMATA\tailwind.config.js
For a Django project using Tailwind CSS, you should ideally:
npx tailwindcss init
command from your Django project directoryOnce you locate the file, you'll need to edit it to include your Django templates. Here's how to modify it:
JAVASCRIPT/** @type {import('tailwindcss').Config} */ module.exports = { content: [ './templates/**/*.html', // Path to your Django templates './your_app_name/templates/**/*.html', // If you have app-specific templates ], theme: { extend: {}, }, plugins: [], }
If your tailwind.config.js
is not in your Django project directory, you should:
For the Django Tailwind tutorial, it's important that this file is in your project directory so it can properly process your template files.
