To use stitches and tailwind together in a Next.js project, you can follow these steps:

  1. Install stitches and tailwind packages in your project:
1
npm install @stitches/react @stitches/core tailwindcss


  1. Create a stitches.config.ts file in the root of your project and configure stitches with tailwind:
 1
 2
 3
 4
 5
 6
 7
 8
 9
10
import { createStyled } from '@stitches/react';

const { styled, css } = createStyled({
  prefix: '',
  tokens: {},
  breakpoints: {},
  utils: {},
});

export { styled, css };


  1. Create a global.css file in the root of your project and import tailwind CSS and any other global styles:
1
2
3
4
5
@tailwind base;
@tailwind components;
@tailwind utilities;

/* Add any other global styles here */


  1. Configure tailwind in your tailwind.config.js file:
 1
 2
 3
 4
 5
 6
 7
 8
 9
10
11
module.exports = {
  purge: ['./pages/**/*.{js,ts,jsx,tsx}', './components/**/*.{js,ts,jsx,tsx}'],
  darkMode: false, // or 'media' or 'class'
  theme: {
    extend: {},
  },
  variants: {
    extend: {},
  },
  plugins: [],
};


  1. Update your next.config.js to include stitches and tailwind:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
const withStitches = require('@stitches/next/config');

module.exports = withStitches({
  webpack(config) {
    return config;
  },
});


  1. Create a component using stitches and tailwind:
 1
 2
 3
 4
 5
 6
 7
 8
 9
10
import { styled } from 'stitches.config.ts';

const Container = styled('div', {
  // Styled component using Stitches
  backgroundColor: 'bg-blue-500',

  // Add Tailwind classes using className prop
  '& p': 'text-blue-200',
  '& button': 'bg-blue-600 hover:bg-blue-700',
});


  1. Import your global.css file in your _app.tsx:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
import 'global.css';

function MyApp({ Component, pageProps }) {
  return <Component {...pageProps} />;
}

export default MyApp;


That's it! Your Next.js project should now be set up to use stitches and tailwind together. You can start creating components and styles using both libraries in your application.
