Recently, I thought of giving  tailwindcss a try (after hearing and reading so much about this utility-first CSS framework). My plan was to use tailwindcss with  Angular. So I started looking for documents on how to integrate tailwindcss with Angular and found couple of good articles.

Going through these document, you will soon understand that integrating tailwindcss to Angular is not that straightforward (as in executing a single command) but involves a series of steps.

Luckily I also found this library that makes the integration really simple (yes, executing a single command!). This library uses  Angular schematics to automate this process.

Now just to understand better, first I followed the manual process and then also tried the schematics library (@ngneat/tailwind) to integrate tailwindcss to Angular. My primary goal was completed.

However, few months back, I had started learning about Schematics in Angular and like many other learning and side projects, I had abandoned it in favor of something else (do not remember exactly what for). I thought of resuming it back and this time not only learn the concepts but actually create a useful (but simple) Angular schematic.

As mentioned before in this article, I will not be going into explaining concepts related to Angular Schematics. Please refer  this and  this for detailed explanation. Going through these articles and reading more about Schematics, I would say

Schematics are all about code generation and changing of existing files!
