Vue.js is a popular JavaScript framework for front-end development. It is lightweight, has a dynamic ecosystem, and is expected to grow further as more developers adopt it. This course uses a hands-on project—a WhatsApp clone—to cover important concepts of front-end development using Vue.js. The project also uses AWS Amplify to manage and configure various AWS products to develop the application’s backend and to deploy the final product.

The course starts by introducing us to core Vue.js concepts like lifecycle hooks, routing, and state management. It then gives us a step-by-step guide to create a WhatsApp GUI. You’ll integrate the application with AWS Amplify before adding the WhatsApp functionality to the project.

By the end of the course, you’ll have a better understanding of the Vue.js framework. You’ll also get hands-on experience using AWS Amplify to manage various AWS products and services, including AWS Cognito, AWS S3, and AWS DynamoDB, to develop and deploy a Vue.js web application.

Building a WhatsApp Clone with Vue.js and AWS Amplify

## Introduction to the integration of Tailwind CSS in Vue.js

There are several CSS frameworks that we can use to build our application. Please use the CSS framework you are comfortable with. The frontend will be a clone of WhatsApp, and this tutorial will guide us on how to use AWS Amplify to configure the backend. Those using a different CSS framework can skip this section and start from the module “Getting started with AWS Amplify.” Let’s get started integrating Tailwind into our project. The steps that we will follow are given below:

1. Install dependencies.
2. Configure `postcss.config` and `tailwind.config`.
3. Add Tailwind CSS files to the project and test it.

## Install dependencies
To begin with, we need to install the dependencies for Tailwind.

```
// cd into your project
cd educative-whatsapp-clone-app

// install the following packages for Tailwind
npm install -D tailwindcss@npm:@tailwindcss/postcss7-compat postcss@^7 autoprefixer@^9

// Install the tailwind forms packages because most applications will at some point require forms.
npm install @tailwindcss/forms
```
