I’m new to Quasar too but just installed TailwindCSS as usual, added the tailwind classes to the app.css as described in the Tailwind docs and added it to the postcss config and it works out of the box as I would expect.
I even (mind, I’m using Quasar with the Quasar CLI) was able to connect the color config of Tailwind with the brand color config of Quasar by extracting them into a separate Javascript file. In that brand config file I have a module.export with the brand object which I import into TailwindCSS config as the color object and also in the Quasar config as the framework config brand object.
So I don’t use the config SASS file of Quasar for the brand colors but I put them right into the config javascript file. An example of that can be found when you export the colors via the Quasar Theme Builder in the docs.
