Getting Started with Gatsbyjs recipes

Often times packages will require their own bespoke configuration files apart from NPM installing and configuring in gatsby-config.js or you may want additional files present for doing things like setting global styles. We can handle this by creating files within a Gatsby Recipe.

In this lesson, we will create a handful of Files within a Gatsby Recipe to configure tailwindcss and postcss. We will also see how we can create an example usage of tailwind within gatsby as part of the recipe.
