Auth style broken

[balex25]

Hi,

I try to make some changes on blade files of auth (ref: https://devdojo.com/auth/docs/extend/components/).

After updating HTML and adding some new Tailwind CSS classes, I run npx tailwindcss -c ./vendor/devdojo/auth/tailwind.config.js -o ./public/auth/build/assets/styles.css as the docs say. But after I run that command, the styles in Wave auth settings (/auth/setup/) are broken (missing utility classes that are used on Wave auth pages), also my new classes have been added to /auth/build/assets/styles.css.

I can get working auth settings only after I run php artisan vendor:publish --tag=auth:assets --force, but I lost all my custom classes.

Is this a bug, or is it expected to work like this?

This is expected.

In Laravel (and generally in any app), modifying files inside vendor/, node_modules/, etc. should be avoided. These directories are for dependencies, not customization.

Any changes made in vendor/:

• Can break asset builds
• Will be overwritten on updates
• Are not considered a supported extension mechanism

The recommended approach is to extend or override components in your app, and keep all styling changes in your own Tailwind pipeline, not the package’s. I've recently answered a similar question. Check out the steps here: Customizing the Two-Factor Authentication page.

Rule of thumb:
If it’s in vendor/, don’t customize it directly.

I do all changes via overwriting from the vendor folder, so it is not direct editing. Like as C:\Herd\site\resources\views\vendor\auth\components\elements\text-link.blade.php

However, the problem is not that, but rather that npx tailwindcss -c ./vendor/devdojo/auth/tailwind.config.js -o ./public/auth/build/assets/styles.css does not include Wave auth setting pages classes.
