Description

While recently building a blog system with comments, I noticed that Tailwind’s support for Laravel 12 is not ideal. Many of the configured styles are not working as expected. This issue did not exist in the earlier Laravel 10 version.
Please look into this and provide a fix. Thanks.

Thank you for your reply. I’m currently working on a project that includes a comment moderation feature. Although I’m using Laravel 12, I’ve adopted the styling strategy from Laravel 10 and resolved the issue by not using app.css, but instead switching to app.scss. You can see the exact implementation in my open-source test project here:

I understand that Laravel 12 introduced a new approach, but the results so far haven’t been very satisfactory. I’m looking forward to seeing this issue resolved so I can take full advantage of the latest styling features. I’ll also try to look into the issue myself when I have time. Thanks again!

You're free to build and utilise your own skeleton/starter-kit instead of laravel/laravel.

@petertzy FYI, in case if you migrated there is a migration guide from tailwind v3 to tailwind v4 on their website which made my life easier when migrating a recent project.
