Hi @Hùng Lê. 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, I can help you with your question about preventing Element Plus CSS from being overridden by Tailwind CSS in a Nuxt application. This is a common issue when using multiple CSS frameworks together. From the knowledge sources, we can see a similar problem occurring when using Tailwind CSS with PrimeVue in Nuxt, as mentioned in the Stack Overflow post. To prevent Tailwind CSS from overriding Element Plus styles in your Nuxt application, you can use the CSS layer ordering approach that Nuxt UI implements: 1. Create a proper CSS import order in your main CSS file: 
@import "tailwindcss";
@import "element-plus/dist/index.css"; /* or your Element Plus CSS path */
@import "tailwindcss";
@import "element-plus/dist/index.css"; /* or your Element Plus CSS path */
2. You can also specify the CSS layer order in your nuxt.config.ts file, similar to how it's done with PrimeVue: 
export default defineNuxtConfig({
  // other config
  css: [
    'assets/main.css'
  ],
  // If you're using a module for Element Plus, you might need to configure it
  // with proper CSS layer ordering
  elementPlus: {
    // This is conceptual based on the PrimeVue example
    cssLayerOrder: 'tailwind-base, element-plus, tailwind-utilities'
  }
})
export default defineNuxtConfig({
  // other config
  css: [
    'assets/main.css'
  ],
  // If you're using a module for Element Plus, you might need to configure it
  // with proper CSS layer ordering
  elementPlus: {
    // This is conceptual based on the PrimeVue example
    cssLayerOrder: 'tailwind-base, element-plus, tailwind-utilities'
  }
})
3. Another approach is to use more specific selectors for Element Plus components or use the !important flag for critical Element Plus styles. 4. You can also consider using CSS Modules as mentioned in the Nuxt documentation to scope your styles and prevent conflicts. If these approaches don't fully solve your issue, you might need to create a more specific solution by examining which Tailwind classes are overriding your Element Plus styles and addressing them individually. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------
