Tailwind CSS is a utility-first CSS framework made for diverse yet simple website styling techniques.
Read below to learn how to build an image gallery app with IPFS and Tailwind CSS.
Start by creating a Remix app by using the following command:
npx create-remix@latest
This command will ask you a series of questions. Here’s how we answered them:
Where would you like to create your app? We chose ./image-gallery-dapp, but you can name your app anything and have it stored in any directory you’d like.
What type of app do you want to create? Just the basics
Where do you want to deploy? Remix App Server
TypeScript or JavaScript? TypeScript
Do you want me to run 'npm install'? y
cd image-gallery-dapp
npm install --save-dev concurrently tailwindcss
npx tailwindcss init
This will create a new file called tailwind.config.js. Open this file in a text editor and enter the following content:
package.json file and in the scripts section, replace the content with the following:app/root.tsx file. Insert the following line at the top of the file:import tailwindCSS from "./tailwind.css";
app/root.tsx file, enter the following function lines:npm run dev
Your app will be running at localhost:3000. By default, it’ll look like this:
First, we need some images. To do this, navigate to console.filebase.com. If you don’t have an account already, sign up, then log in.
Select ‘Create Bucket’ in the top right corner to create a new bucket.
Bucket names must be unique across all Filebase users, be between 3 and 63 characters long, and can contain only lowercase characters, numbers, and dashes.
Once uploaded, it will be listed in the bucket.
Choose the method you prefer, and take note of the IPFS CID.
index.tsx. In this file, insert the following code:Replace the IPFS_CID values with your IPFS CID’s from the images you uploaded to Filebase.
You can edit the size of each image by changing the width and height values.
You can also change the names and descriptions of each image by changing the desc values and the alt / href values.
From here, you can style your gallery however you’d like, using the Tailwind CSS package. For more information about Tailwind CSS and the customization options, see their documentation here.
