Nuxt UI and Tailwind issue

Hello Nuxt community! I'm pretty new to development and I'm learning as best as I can. Right now, I'm trying to start a Nuxt project specifically with NuxtUI. I installed Nuxt with npm in my project and then installed NuxtUI using npx nuxi@latest module add ui, which installs these modules, but I'm running into an issue. I've been following this video to get started and I think may be a little bit outdated: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SE_ysS_ZXbk But one thing I've noticed is that when I create assets/css/tailwind.css and then add:

@tailwind base;
@tailwind components;
@tailwind utilities;

@tailwind base;
@tailwind components;
@tailwind utilities;

I get an error for the three lines saying "Unknown at rule @tailwind," but I'm not sure why. The NuxtUI documentation clearly states that it will automatically install the @nuxt/icon, @nuxtjs/tailwindcss, and @nuxtjs/color-mode modules for you. However, I don't see them, and it seems like something isn't quite right. Do I need to install Tailwind manually? I'm really not sure—any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi @Shasko. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- Based on the information provided in the knowledge sources, I can help clarify your issue with Nuxt UI and Tailwind CSS. You're correct that Nuxt UI automatically installs and configures Tailwind CSS for you. According to the Nuxt UI installation documentation (https://ui.nuxt.com/getting-started/installation#modules), the @nuxtjs/tailwindcss module is pre-configured and automatically loaded when you install Nuxt UI. The error you're seeing ("Unknown at rule @tailwind") suggests that your IDE or code editor doesn't recognize the Tailwind CSS directives. This is likely because the Tailwind CSS IntelliSense extension isn't properly configured, rather than an actual issue with your project setup. Here are a few steps you can take to resolve this: 1. First, ensure that you've added the Nuxt UI module to your nuxt.config.ts file:

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  modules: ['@nuxt/ui']
})

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  modules: ['@nuxt/ui']
})

2. You don't need to manually create a tailwind.css file in your assets folder. Nuxt UI handles the Tailwind configuration for you. 3. To fix the IntelliSense issue in VSCode (if you're using it), you can add the following to your .vscode/settings.json file:

{
  "files.associations": {
      "*.css": "tailwindcss"
  },
  "editor.quickSuggestions": {
      "strings": true
  }
}

{
  "files.associations": {
      "*.css": "tailwindcss"
  },
  "editor.quickSuggestions": {
      "strings": true
  }
}

This configuration is mentioned in the Nuxt UI IntelliSense documentation (https://ui.nuxt.com/getting-started/installation#intellisense). 4. You might also want to install the Tailwind CSS IntelliSense (https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=bradlc.vscode-tailwindcss) extension for VSCode if you haven't already. Remember, when using Nuxt UI, you don't need to manually install or configure Tailwind CSS. The module takes care of that for you. The error you're seeing is likely just an IDE issue and shouldn't affect the actual functionality of your project. If you're still experiencing issues after trying these steps, you might want to double-check your project setup or consider starting a new project using the Nuxt UI starter template:

npx nuxi@latest init -t ui

npx nuxi@latest init -t ui

This command, as mentioned in the Nuxt UI installation guide (https://ui.nuxt.com/getting-started/installation#use-nuxt-starter), will set up a new project with Nuxt UI pre-configured. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai how do I solve this issue on Cursor?

kapa.ai•2mo ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books: ---------------------- I apologize, but I don't have specific information about Cursor or how to solve issues related to it in the context of Nuxt or Nuxt UI. The knowledge sources provided don't contain any information about Cursor. However, based on our previous conversation about Nuxt UI and Tailwind CSS, it seems you might be referring to an IDE or code editor issue. If Cursor is your code editor, the solution might be similar to what we discussed for VSCode. To properly assist you, I would need more details about the specific issue you're encountering in Cursor. Could you please provide more information about the problem you're facing? Is it related to the Tailwind CSS directives not being recognized, or is it a different issue? If you're still seeing the "Unknown at rule @tailwind" error in Cursor, you might need to look into Cursor-specific settings or extensions that support Tailwind CSS. Unfortunately, I don't have enough information about Cursor's features or configuration to provide a definitive solution. If you're having trouble with Nuxt UI or Tailwind CSS setup in general, regardless of the editor, I'd recommend focusing on the project configuration itself rather than editor-specific settings. Ensure that you've properly set up Nuxt UI in your project as we discussed earlier. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai Cursor is a VSC fork, it's solved, now, thanks!

kapa.ai•2mo ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books: ---------------------- I'm glad to hear that the issue has been resolved! Thank you for providing that additional information about Cursor being a VSCode fork. It's helpful to know that the solution we discussed earlier for VSCode was applicable to Cursor as well. Since you mentioned it's solved, I assume you were able to configure Cursor to properly recognize the Tailwind CSS directives in your Nuxt UI project. That's great news! If you have any more questions about Nuxt, Nuxt UI, or related technologies, feel free to ask. I'm here to help with Nuxt-specific inquiries. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------
