In this article, we are going to create a fixed/sticky footer on the bottom using Tailwind CSS. Tailwind CSS is a highly customizable, utility-first CSS framework from which we can use utility classes to build any design. With Tailwind CSS we can create a design by simply adding classes.  

Installation:

    Method 1: Install Tailwind via npm

  • Step 1:

    npm init -y
  • Step 2:

    npm install tailwindcss
  • Step 3: Now we have to add Tailwind to our CSS by using the @tailwind directive to inject Tailwind’s base, components, and utility styles into our CSS file. 

    @tailwind base;  
    @tailwind components;  
    @tailwind utilities;
  • Step 4: It is an optional step that is used to create a Tailwind config file.

    npx tailwindcss init 
  • Step 5:

    npx tailwindcss build styles.css -o output.css  

Method 2: Using Tailwind via CDN

<link href=”https://unpkg.com/tailwindcss@^2/dist/tailwind.min.css” rel=”stylesheet”>

Example: In the following example, the following classes are used. 

The class bg-{color} is used for the background color of the element. Similarly, p-{size} is used for padding of the element, text-{size} is used for the font size of text, text-center is used to align the text to the center, text-{color} is for the font color of text, border-b-{width} is for the border in the bottom, border-t is for the border at the top, border-{color} is for border color of the element, fixed is for a fixed position of the elements, inset-x-0 is right and left properties of the element, bottom-0 is for the bottom property.
