Creating new Drupal 11 theme with TailwindCSS, Alpine JS, Storybook and Single Directory Components

The Drupak YouTube channel has published a tutorial on creating a new Drupal 11 theme incorporating Tailwind CSS, Alpine JS, Storybook, and Single Directory Components (SDC). Led by Syed Muhammad Azmat Shah, the session demonstrates setting up a Drupal theme with Tailwind CSS and Alpine JS, configuring Storybook, creating SDC components, and integrating them within Drupal’s site-building framework.

The tutorial was recorded on January 25, Global Contribution Day 2025, with the objective of contributing the theme to Drupal.org. The resulting theme, Tailpine, is under active development by the Drupak team and is now listed on Drupal.org, though its first release is still pending.

Tailpine is designed to streamline frontend development in Drupal by offering automatic setup with Storybook, Tailwind, and Alpine JS support upon installation via Composer. The project aims to serve as a primary theme option for Tailwind CSS-based Drupal projects. Further details and updates on the theme are available on its Drupal.org project page: https://www.drupal.org/project/tailpine.
