Dependencies with tailwind that are installed in Create react app

why dont we now install lib such as postcss and autoprfixers with tailwind css on CRA

Now If I go to Tailwind docs for installtion of tailwind into my react app which has been created with CRA

https://tailwindcss.com/docs/guides/create-react-app

npm install -D tailwindcss
npx tailwindcss init

but if my memory serves right it used to be

npm install -D tailwindcss autoprefixer postcss
npx tailwindcss init

You are correct. According to this commit Tailwind has changed the installation guide.

They did this to discourage using CRA more since there are better tools out there to create a React app. For example Vite

From the Install Tailwind CSS with Create React App

Create React App does not support custom PostCSS configurations

When using Vite the Tailwind docs do say to install postcss and autoprefixer

npm create vite@latest my-project -- --template react
cd my-project

npm install -D tailwindcss postcss autoprefixer
npx tailwindcss init -p
