concurrently VS Tailwind CSS

In our demonstration, we use Webpack to build apps and Babel to transpile React code to plain JavaScript. We run our server with Express.js and use concurrently to run multiple commands concurrently. The tool nodemon helps develop node.js-based applications by automatically restarting the node application when file changes in the directory are detected.

It seems like you're trying to solve a developer experience, or DX, problem. I believe the "norm" is to have these scripts run separately, e.g., run npm start and dotnet watch in separate terminals. However, if you want to make it so you don't have to do that, which is fine everyone develops differently, then you could look into concurrently. Then you could add a script to the frontend's package.json like npm start to run concurrently "webpack serve" "dotnet watch".

Another user, /u/jamdatadude, suggested concurrently. I think this can fit your use case here!

I’m no pro at this, but if I remember correctly, you want to build a separate server and client folder and then set up a proxy and use https://www.npmjs.com/package/concurrently

To run both commands, will use the concurrently npm package:

Tailwind CSS

Sidekiq is already configured along with assets, tailwindsCSS.

Finally, for our front end, we’re going to be pairing Next.js with the great combination of TailwindCSS and shadcn/ui so we can focus on building the functionality of the app and let them handle making it look awesome!

You can use any frontend framework you want — react-based tooling, however, has a natural advantage as it models everything as a function of state, which can map 1:1 with the concept in Burr. In the demo app we use react, react-query, and tailwind, but we’ll be skipping over this largely (it is not central to the purpose of the post).

First, you need to make sure that you have a working Tailwind CSS project…

Tailwind CSS

With better CSS approaches like TailwindCSS and Vanilla Extract (which we're heavily using) it's much easier to maintain the UI and make sure it doesn't change unexpectedly. No more conflicting CSS classes, much less CSS specificity issues and much less CSS code in general.

This app was built with Svelte Kit, Tailwind CSS, and many other technologies. For a full rundown, please visit the GitHub repository
