Can't make CSS work properly.

[mkaravaev]

Followed installation documentation but still can't make DaisyUI working properly even it feels styles are loaded but the layout is always wrong.

Hey @mkaravaev!

Would you mind sharing your tailwind.config.js file?

It looks like not only daisyUI but Tailwind CSS in general is not working properly in your setup.

@Flo0807 thank you for quick response. This is my tailwing.config.js.
Honestly haven't touching frontend for 6 years and become very rusty in all this css/js setup things.

My project is umbrella app with separate admin app. I was following some instruction found and install daisyui through npm -i [email protected] inside /assets folder in under admin app.

One problem I notice from your config is that you are missing some paths in your content section. Make sure to add the necessary paths to the Backpex dependency. See https://hexdocs.pm/backpex/installation.html#add-files-to-tailwind-content

According to the path used by the Heroicons plugin, the following paths have to be added:

..,
content: [
  '../../../deps/backpex/**/*.*ex'
  '../../../deps/backpex/assets/js/**/*.*js'
]
