Using Tailwind CSS with the Porsche Design System Theme provides a powerful benefit: Your styles are truly framework-agnostic. Since Tailwind generates atomic utility classes, you eliminate cascading style issues, promoting long-term scalability and maintainability for large projects. The patterns and components you build are easily portable. You can copy and paste the same styling code between projects, teams, and different technology stacks (React, Angular, Vue, plain HTML, etc.), ensuring 100% visual uniformity across the organization. You can now use and customize the provided Patterns and Templates, which are all written in Tailwind CSS, to build applications quickly and efficiently.
