Import the globals.css file

Import the globals.css file in the src/index.astro file:

---
import '@/styles/globals.css'
---

Update astro tailwind config

To prevent serving the Tailwind base styles twice, we need to tell Astro not to apply the base styles, since we already include them in our own globals.css file. To do this, set the applyBaseStyles config option for the tailwind plugin in astro.config.mjs to false.

export default defineConfig({
  integrations: [
    tailwind({
      applyBaseStyles: false,
    }),
  ],
})

That's it

You can now start adding components to your project.

npx shadcn-ui@latest add button

The command above will add the Button component to your project. You can then import it like this:

---
import { Button } from "@/components/ui/button"
---
 
<html lang="en">
	<head>
		<title>Astro</title>
	</head>
	<body>
		<Button>Hello World</Button>
	</body>
</html>
