Tailwind Child Theme or not?

[spexy90]

Hi everyone,
Is it recommended or not to create a child theme with this theme? And why?
I read some previous answers but I noticed that a child theme was created but it doesn't work for me...

Thanks for the clarifications

Hi,

I personally use the theme as a starting point and haven't yet made a child theme with it.

However, if you'd like to make a child theme, you might get inspiration from this setup.

If it doesn't work for you, maybe you can provide more info an what doesn't work as we can have a look.

Thanks for the reply. It gives me these errors:

2 ERRORS in child compilations (Use 'stats.children: true' resp. '--stats-children' for more details)
webpack compiled with 4 errors

ERROR in ./resources/css/app.css
Module build failed (from ./node_modules/mini-css-extract-plugin/dist/loader.js):
ModuleBuildError: Module build failed (from ./node_modules/postcss-loader/dist/cjs.js):

Question that may be stupid and I apologize for that:

I have to proceed with npm install and npm run watch also in the parent theme..is this the case?
Thanks

This appears to be the case. Not ideal, but at the moment, I don't know how to get it working without it.

Yes, it's not ideal but now it works...actually as you said, it's also ok to keep the parent theme and that's it. Anyway, it works and so everything is ok!

Thank you!
