Seamless Integration with Your Tailwind Config

Frontier does more than just convert designs—it ensures the generated code integrates flawlessly with your existing project frameworks:

• Tailwind Config Utilization: Detects and uses your tailwind.config.js file, allowing all generated components to inherit your custom styling rules automatically.
• Intelligent Style Application: Ensures that every component not only matches the design specs but also aligns with your established Tailwind conventions. If needed, Frontier will generate new style configurations that you can then add to your original config file.

For front-end developers using Tailwind CSS, Frontier offers a powerful way to enhance your development workflow. It ensures precise translation of your Figma designs into React components and maintains style consistency through smart integration with your Tailwind setup.
