Tailwind CSS
/Advanced
Plugins
Definition
JavaScript functions that can be imported into `tailwind.config.js` to inject new utilities, components, or base styles into the framework.
Explain Like I'm New
If Tailwind doesn't have a class you need (like a complex 3D text shadow), you can write a plugin that generates it. You can also download plugins made by other people (like `@tailwindcss/typography`) to instantly give your app superpowers.
Real World Example
Installing the official Typography plugin, which allows you to apply `class="prose"` to a massive block of raw Markdown HTML, instantly styling all the headers, links, and lists beautifully.
