How to Prevent CSS Conflicts Between Tailwind CSS and Bootstrap in a Laravel Application Using Vite

I have a Laravel application that uses Vite for asset bundling. The public-facing frontend uses Tailwind CSS, while the dashboard (accessible after login) uses Bootstrap. How can I ensure that Tailwind CSS and Bootstrap do not conflict with each other? Is there a way in Laravel with Vite to separate entry points or otherwise isolate the styles for each section of the application?

@minaremonshaker You would just add another input in your vite.config.js file for your dashboard:

  export default defineConfig({
      plugins: [
          laravel({
              input: [
                  'resources/css/app.css',
                  'resources/js/app.js',
+                 'resources/sass/dashboard.scss',
              ],
              refresh: true,
          }),
          tailwindcss(),
      ],
  });

Then create your resources/sass/dashboard.scss file:

@import "variables";
@import "bootstrap/scss/bootstrap";

This will import a custom variables file located at resources/sass/_variables.scss (you will need to create this file as well as it does not exist by default).

Another option is to prefix all you tailwind classes with tw, I have a vague memory that Jeffrey had a lesson about it a few years ago.
