## Recomendations
- Highly recommend to use [tailwindcss cheatsheet](https://nerdcave.com/tailwind-cheat-sheet) to quickly find classes you need, especially if you are already familiar with css.
-- If you don't have much experience with writing CSS - tailwind should easy out that experience.
+- If you don't have much experience with writing CSS - tailwind should easy out that experience. As it provides useful subset of styling primitives, which is easier to choose from.
- Check following pages for properties that are we hand-picked to fit our styling - [colors](../?path=/docs/guide-style-colors--docs), [fonts](../?path=/docs/guide-style-fonts--docs), [shadows](../?path=/docs/guide-style-shadows--docs) and [radiuses](../?path=/docs/guide-style-radius--docs).

-## Migration path
-
-- Using tailwindCSS make sense for building new components or when doing significant changes of existing components.

-## Motivation
-
-- Main motivation is to have good primitives to create consistent design, without creating own solution. TailwindCSS does that for us.
-- TailwindCSS is easy to configure to adjust to our design (fonts, colors), while providing great defaults in other areas (margins, paddings)

- **Passing initial data**: It allows to pass inititial data when needed. That often might be configuration passed to the **Page** from PHP backend. Or some props being passed to **Complex Modal** or **Self-Contained Component**. Important to note that only the first component (its top in hirearchy) is passing the configuration. Any other child component thats connecting to the store connects to it without passing the init state as its already been initialised.
- **Following Component Lifecycle**: It gets initialised when its called in first component. It tracks mount/unmount events and when all components using the store are unmounted it deletes its state. This is particularly useful when managing **Complex Modal** as anytime its closed - its state will be removed and it gets initialised next time the modal is opened with new props.
