Question 1

How do I use react-native-tailwindcss with styled-components?

Question 2

react-native-tailwindcss vs nativewind: which should I choose?

Accepted Answer

react-native-tailwindcss focuses on utility class mapping with config file support, while nativewind might offer different integrations. Pick based on your need for Tailwind configuration consistency versus other features.

Question 3

Does react-native-tailwindcss support dark mode?

Accepted Answer

Yes, if configured in your tailwind.config.js file. The library leverages the same configuration, so dark mode variants and colors work as expected in React Native.

Question 4

How to handle shadows on Android with this library?

Android uses elevation; by default, elevation is shadowRadius/2, but you can customize it by adding an elevation value after the shadow in the config, e.g., '0 1px 3px 0 rgba(0,0,0,.1), 5'.

How to set up react-native-tailwindcss from scratch?

Accepted Answer

Install the package via npm or yarn, then run npx RNtailwindcss to generate a tailwind.config.js file, or use an existing one to customize your styles immediately.
