Shadcn UI (https://ui.shadcn.com/) was working fine until I just for a couple weeks until yesterday, when I ran my NextJS app in my local host and none of the tailwind was working. To debug the issue, I created a blank NextJS 13 app in a completely new file location, and everything worked fine; tailwind was working on the default nextJS 13 page. I then ran
npx shadcn-ui init
without installing any of the components. Which did not spit out any errors, but then none of the tailwind styling worked anymore.
my tailwind.config.js after instillation:
/** @type {import('tailwindcss').Config} */
module.exports = {
darkMode: ["class"],
content: [
'./pages/**/*.{ts,tsx}',
'./components/**/*.{ts,tsx}',
'./app/**/*.{ts,tsx}',
],

"accordion-up": "accordion-up 0.2s ease-out",

},

}
my utils.ts after instillation
import { ClassValue, clsx } from "clsx"
import { twMerge } from "tailwind-merge"
export function cn(...inputs: ClassValue[]) {
return twMerge(clsx(inputs))
}

EDIT: after some testing, the issue seems to be coming from the globals.css and tailwind.config.js, still not sure what about them though.
In my case the Shadcn components did not find the styles exported by tailwind. As answered by @moyindavid the problem is in tailwind.config.
Solution: Add the '@' folder to the exports of the tailwind attributes.
module.exports = {
darkMode: ["class"],
content: [
'./pages/**/*.{ts,tsx}',
'./components/**/*.{ts,tsx}',
'./app/**/*.{ts,tsx}',
'./@/**/*.{ts,tsx}', // <- HERE
],
