| # tailwindcss/nesting
 | |
| 
 | |
| This is a PostCSS plugin that wraps [postcss-nested](https://github.com/postcss/postcss-nested) or [postcss-nesting](https://github.com/csstools/postcss-plugins/tree/main/plugins/postcss-nesting) and acts as a compatibility layer to make sure your nesting plugin of choice properly understands Tailwind's custom syntax like `@apply` and `@screen`.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Add it to your PostCSS configuration, somewhere before Tailwind itself:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```js
 | |
| // postcss.config.js
 | |
| module.exports = {
 | |
|   plugins: [
 | |
|     require('postcss-import'),
 | |
|     require('tailwindcss/nesting'),
 | |
|     require('tailwindcss'),
 | |
|     require('autoprefixer'),
 | |
|   ]
 | |
| }
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| By default, it uses the [postcss-nested](https://github.com/postcss/postcss-nested) plugin under the hood, which uses a Sass-like syntax and is the plugin that powers nesting support in the [Tailwind CSS plugin API](https://tailwindcss.com/docs/plugins#css-in-js-syntax).
 | |
| 
 | |
| If you'd rather use [postcss-nesting](https://github.com/csstools/postcss-plugins/tree/main/plugins/postcss-nesting) (which is based on the work-in-progress [CSS Nesting](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-nesting-1/) specification), first install the plugin alongside:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```shell
 | |
| npm install postcss-nesting
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| Then pass the plugin itself as an argument to `tailwindcss/nesting` in your PostCSS configuration:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```js
 | |
| // postcss.config.js
 | |
| module.exports = {
 | |
|   plugins: [
 | |
|     require('postcss-import'),
 | |
|     require('tailwindcss/nesting')(require('postcss-nesting')),
 | |
|     require('tailwindcss'),
 | |
|     require('autoprefixer'),
 | |
|   ]
 | |
| }
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| This can also be helpful if for whatever reason you need to use a very specific version of `postcss-nested` and want to override the version we bundle with `tailwindcss/nesting` itself.
