The developer is also advised to run this script before running yarn start to prevent the error :

Module not found: Error: Can't resolve './styles/tailwind.output.css' in '\src'

The output CSS is generated in the /src/styles folder, under the name 'tailwind.output.css'.

Developers can also run the tailwind watch (yarn run watch-tw)and react start (yarn start) scripts concurrently.

• Books API - Retrieve a specific work or edition by identifier
