2. Add Tailwind CSS and daisyUI

Add Tailwind CSS and daisyUI to your CSS file.
Address your HTML and other markup files in the source function.

@plugin "daisyui";

3. Build CSS

Add a script to your package.json to build the CSS.

  "scripts": {
    "build:css": "npx @tailwindcss/cli -i app.css -o public/output.css"
  },
