Can tailwind prefix be set on a per-layer basis?
I built a nuxt app in isolation with tailwind/shadcn components. I didn't use a tailwind prefix. Now, I have a challenge to inherit our base layer which uses tailwind prefix. What are my options to not have to add prefixes to all my app's components?

Hi @dmarr. 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 knowledge sources provided, there isn't specific information about setting Tailwind prefixes on a per-layer basis in Nuxt. The documentation doesn't directly address how to handle conflicting Tailwind configurations between a base layer and an extending application.
However, I can suggest some potential approaches based on how Nuxt layers work:
1. CSS Order in Layers: A recent fix in Nuxt ensures that "child projects can override CSS of parent layers" as mentioned in a GitHub PR. This suggests that your application's CSS should take precedence over the base layer's CSS.
2. PostCSS Configuration: Since Tailwind runs through PostCSS in Nuxt, you might be able to configure PostCSS differently in your application. Nuxt allows you to configure PostCSS in your
nuxt.config.ts file as mentioned in the styling documentation.
3. Override Files from Layers: The layers documentation mentions that you can override files from layers. As noted in a YouTube video about Nuxt Layers, you can override files from the base layer in your application.
Unfortunately, the knowledge sources don't provide a direct solution for handling different Tailwind prefixes between layers. You might need to:
1. Modify your components to work with the prefix
2. Override the Tailwind configuration in your application to remove the prefix
3. Create a compatibility layer that handles the prefix differences
For a more definitive answer, you might want to check the Tailwind CSS documentation or ask in the Nuxt community forums where others might have encountered and solved this specific issue.

@kapa.ai when I try to run my app, I get the following error:
