VSCode, React, WordPress and Tailwind
This week (November 2nd - November 9th, 2024), I’ve had a ton of fun going over some of my favorite subjects. Here's a quick recap of the topics we explored:
Tailwind - Using Tailwind Merge
Learn how to combine Tailwind classes effectively using tailwind-merge to keep your code clean and prevent conflicting styles.
