Describe the Bug

Changes inside a Tailwind config are only picked up when the dev server is restarted, this is annoying and not a good DX when wanting to make quick iterations.

I wonder if this is supported by any framework out there right now?

The tailwind integration could add a Vite plugin that watches the tailwind.config.js and trigger a server restart like how svelte.config.js does

@rishi-raj-jain for context, this is a common source of support threads, so we'd like to support it even if we are paving new ground in doing so.

I can pick this up if no one has done it yet
