Once you install @material-tailwind/html you need to wrap your tailwind css configurations with the withMT() function coming from @material-tailwind/html/utils.

/** @type {import('tailwindcss').Config} */
 
import withMT from "@material-tailwind/html/utils/withMT";
 
module.exports = withMT({
  content: [
    "./assets/**/*.js",
    "./templates/**/*.html.twig",
  ],
  theme: {
    extend: {},
  },
  plugins: [],
});

Ripple Effect

@material-tailwind/html comes with a ripple effect script file same as Material Design ripple effect and you can simply use it by adding it's CDN link to you project and add the data-ripple-light="true" for light ripple effect and data-ripple-dark="true" for dark ripple effect as an attribute for components

The ripple effect used in @material-tailwind/html is a separate package called material-ripple-effect

<!-- from node_modules -->
<script async src="node_modules/@material-tailwind/html/scripts/ripple.js"></script>
 
<!-- from cdn -->
<script async src="https://unpkg.com/@material-tailwind/html@latest/scripts/ripple.js"></script>

Now you're good to go and use @material-tailwind/html in your project.
