# Nativewind: Speeding up Styling in React Native

**[Hashrocket](https://daily.dev/sources/hashrocket)** · 4 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

NativeWind brings Tailwind CSS utility classes to React Native, eliminating the need for StyleSheet.create and enabling faster development with familiar syntax. The library translates Tailwind classes into React Native styles at runtime or compile-time, works seamlessly with animation and navigation libraries, and supports web distribution with responsive breakpoints. Setup involves installing dependencies via Expo, configuring Tailwind and Babel, then using className props directly on React Native components for inline styling that's more readable and maintainable than traditional StyleSheets.
