# Tailwind Patterns

A practical guide to Tailwind CSS done professionally: composing utilities, extracting components (the right way), theming with design tokens, dark mode, responsive design, and keeping utility soup maintainable.

## Overview

Tailwind's utility classes move styling into markup, which trades CSS-file archaeology for long class strings. It works brilliantly with **component extraction**: repeated utility combos become components (React/Vue/etc.), not CSS classes. The failure mode is "utility soup" — 40-class divs repeated across files. The fix is always components, not `@apply` (which the Tailwind team itself de-emphasizes).

## When to use

- Utility-first styling in React/Vue/Svelte/HTML projects.
- Design systems built on Tailwind tokens.
- Dark mode and responsive design via variants.
- Cleaning up an inconsistent Tailwind codebase.
