CxJS + Tailwind CSS

This project is undergoing development. Some of the features are missing or incomplete.

This repository provides an application template based on CxJS and TailwindCSS. It offers a working application layout, sample pages, component gallery, SWC and webpack configurations, and others small bits and pieces.

CxJS and Tailwind CSS mix really well together. CxJS brings JavaScript based application elements such as widgets, charts, state management, and routing, while Tailwind CSS offers a rapid way to combine these elements into higher-order visual structures - page elements, headers, toolbars, sections, layouts, etc.

Both products require time to understand and master, but once everything settles, the productivity that this combination brings is great.

Packages and Libraries

Heroicons

Icons used in the template come from the Heroicons library which offers beatiful hand-crafted SVG icons. Each icon needs to be registered in the icons/index.js before in can be used by CxJS components.

Mock Data

There is a mock REST API implemented using the msw package. The application makes proper network requests using the fetch method which are intercepted by the service worker. Check the data folder for more details.

This should be removed when you switch to a proper API.
