Please how can I purge the tailwindCss when I’m done

[@snipherdev]

1. Install the necessary packages for purging CSS by running
npm install postcss @fullhuman/postcss-purgecss postcss-cli
2. Create a postcss.config.js file in the root of your Django project. This file will contain your PostCSS configuration, including the plugin configurations. Here's an example configuration:
module.exports = {
plugins: [
require('@fullhuman/postcss-purgecss')({
content: [
'./**/*.html', // HTML files
'./**/*.js', // JavaScript files
'./templates/**/*.html', // Django templates
],
defaultExtractor: content => content.match(/[A-Za-z0-9-_:/]+/g) || [],
}),
],
};
3. PostCSS with the configured PurgeCSS plugin to generate optimized CSS files. You can do this using the command-line tool postcss-cli:
npx postcss path/to/your/input.css -o path/to/your/output.css
Once you have the optimized CSS file, you can integrate it into your Django project by including it in your templates. Replace the previous link to your Tailwind CSS stylesheet with a link to the optimized CSS file.
