How can I customize utility classes in Tailwind CSS?

How can I customize utility classes in Tailwind CSS?

You can customize utility classes in Tailwind CSS by modifying the tailwind.config.js file. This allows you to extend or override default styles.

Can you give me an example of how to extend a utility class?

Sure! To extend the padding utility, you can add a new value in the theme.extend.padding section of your config file like this: padding: { '18': '4.5rem' }.

What if I want to create a completely new utility class?

You can create a new utility class by adding it to the extend section in your config. For example, to create a custom color, you can do: colors: { 'custom-blue': '#1DA1F2' }.

Is there a way to apply these custom classes in my HTML?

Yes! Once you've defined your custom classes in the config, you can use them in your HTML just like any other Tailwind class, e.g., class='p-18 bg-custom-blue'.
