# Tailwind Elements [](https://tailwind-elements.com/)
Tailwind Elements **is a plugin** that extends the functionality of the library with many interactive components.
In some dynamic components (like dropdowns or modals) we add Font Awesome icons and custom JavaScript. However, they do not require any additional installation, all the necessary code is always included in the example and copied to any Tailwind project - it will work.
Bootstrap components recreated with Tailwind CSS, but with better design and more functionalities.

## Quick Start tutorial
##### NPM
1. Before starting the project make sure to install [Node.js (LTS)](https://nodejs.org/en/ 'Node.js (LTS)') and [TailwindCSS](https://tailwindcss.com/ 'TailwindCSS').
2. Run the following command to install the package via NPM:
```
npm install tw-elements
```
3. Tailwind Elements is a plugin and should be included inside the **tailwind.config.js** file. It is also recommended to extend the content array with a js file that loads dynamic component classes:
```javascript
module.exports = {
content: ['./src/**/*.{html,js}', './node_modules/tw-elements/dist/js/**/*.js'],
plugins: [require('tw-elements/dist/plugin')],
};
```
4. Dynamic components will work after adding the js file:
```
```
Alternatively, you can import it in the following way (bundler version):
```
import 'tw-elements';
```
##### MDB GO / CLI
Create, deploy and host anything with a single command.
1. To start using MDB GO / CLI install it with one command:
```
npm install -g mdb-cli
```
2. Log into the CLI using your MDB account:
```
mdb login
```
3. Initialize a project and choose **Tailwind Elements** from the list:

mdb init
```

```
