NOTES:

Here's what some of the packages do:

  • purgecss - by default, tailwindcss imports all classes. purgecss removes all unused classes, significantly reducing compiled file size.
  • cssnano - css minifier + remove css comments
  • autoprefixer - Parse CSS and add vendor prefixes to CSS rules using values from the Can I Use website.
