Example Output

To integrate Tailwind CSS into your Expo project 'MyApp', start by installing the required dependencies. Run 'npm install tailwindcss postcss autoprefixer' in your project directory. Next, create a 'tailwind.config.js' file by executing 'npx tailwindcss init' and configure it to your design needs. In your 'postcss.config.js', add the necessary plugins for Tailwind. Now, include the Tailwind directives in your main CSS file: '@tailwind base; @tailwind components; @tailwind utilities;'. Finally, ensure your styles are responsive by utilizing Tailwind's responsive utility classes in your components. With these steps, your Expo project will be set up with Tailwind CSS, allowing for efficient and responsive UI design.
