Question

v0 generated a component with 400 lines of Tailwind, how do I keep it maintainable?

Solved · 140 viewsasked yesterday by

Everything works but every element has 15 classes and the same card styling is copied six times. When I change a color I miss half of them.

What I’ve tried

Asked v0 to "use a design system", it added shadcn but kept the inline classes.

Two moves, in order:

Pull repeated class strings into components, not into @apply. <Card> with the 15 classes once, used six times.
Put colors in CSS variables (--accent) and reference them in Tailwind via the theme. Then a color change is one line.

Ask v0 per component: "extract the repeated card markup into a Card component, keep the classes identical". Small, checkable steps beat "use a design system".

Card component done, six copies became one. Doing the CSS variables next.

Colors are in variables now. Changed the accent once and every card followed. Thank you!

And run npx prettier-plugin-tailwindcss once. Sorted classes make the duplicates visible.

Small correction: prettier-plugin-tailwindcss isn't something you run with npx. Install it as a dev dependency and add it to plugins in your Prettier config, then npx prettier --write .. aiko_n 24 hours ago

Right, typed that too fast. Thanks. felix_codes 23 hours ago
