Tailwind is a very popular CSS framework that enforces a utility-first core principle. It contains classes and styles that can be used in Angular applications to create easily composable user interfaces.
We will use the schematics API of the Angular CLI to build a generation schematic for Angular components. The schematic will generate a new Angular component that is styled with a Tailwind container layout.
