Tailwind CSS classes is not working with React, error "You need to enable JavaScript to run this app..." - reactjs

Question

Talwind CSS is not working with React. I have installed Tailwind CSS as per the documentation (https://v1.tailwindcss.com/docs/installation) and my code is below.
Can someone help me?
Here is my browser pic of the inspect to understand my problem
Here is my package.json file
{
"name": "my-app",
"version": "0.1.0",
"private": true,

},

],
"development": [
"last 1 chrome version",
"last 1 firefox version",
"last 1 safari version"
]
}
}
Below is my postcss.config.js
module.exports = {
plugins: {
tailwindcss: {},
autoprefixer: {},
},
}
Below is my tailwind.config.js
module.exports = {
content: [
"./src/**/*.{js,jsx,ts,tsx}",
],
plugins: [
// ...
require('tailwindcss'),
require('autoprefixer'),
// ...
]
}
Later, I edited my index.js
import React from "react";
import ReactDOM from "react-dom";
import App from "./App";
//const App = require("./App");
ReactDOM.render(
<App title="Heyy React Dev Tool"/>, document.getElementById("root")
);
I also edited my App.js like below
import React from "react";
import "./assets/css/style.css"
function App({title}) {
return (
<div>
<div className="bg-gray-600 text-white p-5 border">{title}</div>
</div>
);
}
export default App;
Last but now least these is my style.css file is generated

Answer 1

I've looked at your repo: and even though you said you followed the guide, you didn't. The issue boils down to not really following through the documentation properly.
This line is missing in your tailwind.config.js file, which causes tailwind to fail to detect class usage in all your .js file:
module.exports = {
// You are missing this block that defines what files tailwind should scan for usage
content: [
"./src/**/*.{js,jsx,ts,tsx}",
],
theme: {
extend: {},
},
plugins: [],
}
Once you add this line your CSS should build properly:
Other signs that you didn't follow the guide properly:
tailwindcss is listed as a dependency and not a devDependency
Your tailwind.config.js file appears outdated. Are you sure you ran npx tailwindcss init properly? Are you sure that you are indeed running v3 of Tailwind CSS?

Answer 2

check your index.js file you need to import ReactDom porperlt and also use it properlylike this
import ReactDom from "react-dom";
and this
import ReactDom from "react-dom";
