Upgrade Tailwind UI 1.x to Tailwind UI 2.x

The Tailwind UI Shift automates the changes for upgrading from Tailwind UI 1.x to Tailwind UI 2.x. This includes all of the changes for Tailwind UI for Tailwind 2.x.

This includes upgrading your Tailwind configuration file, bumping your dependencies, replacing utility class references, and much more.

The Tailwind UI Shift does not change your markup. It changes the styles so they match the new Tailwind UI components.

The Tailwind UI Shift does not include all changes for upgrading to Tailwind 2.x. You should run the Tailwind 2.x Shift first, or implement the changes in the Tailwind Upgrade Guide.

Using the Tailwind UI Shift to automatically upgrade your project has an estimated time savings of 1 hour.

Manual Upgrades

There are some upgrades the Tailwind UI Shift can not perform automatically. When Shift detects these it adds a detailed comment on the Pull Request to help guide any additional upgrade steps.

Custom Configuration

By default, Shift will look for the Tailwind config file to determine your project path. This will be used as the base path when searching for additional assets and templates. If you are not using a Tailwind configuration file and have a complex project structure, you may configure Shift with your project paths.
