## What it is
An official Nuxt module that integrates Tailwind CSS into Nuxt applications with zero configuration. It provides automatic setup, config viewer, DevTools integration, and extensibility via Nuxt module hooks.

## Use cases
- add tailwind css to a nuxt app
- set up utility-first css in nuxt quickly
- use tailwind with nuxt layers
- view tailwind config in nuxt devtools
- extend tailwind config from other nuxt modules
- reference tailwind theme values in vue components

## When to choose
- you're building a Nuxt 2 or Nuxt 3 application and want Tailwind CSS
- you want zero-config Tailwind setup with sensible defaults
- you need Tailwind config exposure and viewer tooling in Nuxt

## When to avoid
- you're not using Nuxt (use Tailwind's own PostCSS plugin instead)
- you need a CSS framework other than Tailwind
- you need a framework-agnostic build setup

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: active
- function: css-framework, build-tool, developer-tools
- domain: web-development, frontend, developer-tools
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: nuxt-module, tailwindcss, vue, postcss, utility-first-css, nodejs, web-server
