Laravel pagination style is broken - laravel

Question

The pagination in my project displays as shown below:
And renders the following HTML:
<nav role="navigation" aria-label="Pagination Navigation" class="flex items-center justify-between">
<div class="flex justify-between flex-1 sm:hidden">
<span
class="relative inline-flex items-center px-4 py-2 text-sm font-medium text-gray-500 bg-white border border-gray-300 cursor-default leading-5 rounded-md">
« Précédent
</span>
<a href="http://127.0.0.1:8000/clients?page=2"

Which in an isolated environment from my project results in:
Last time I seen the pagination in my project is a month ago, after that I:
Upgraded from Laravel 8 to Laravel 9.
Upgraded from Tailwind 2.6^ to Tailwind 3^.
Upgraded Mix
Deleted some of the components that comes by default with Breeze scafolding .
Edit
When I export the pagination views to resources\views using:
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=laravel-pagination
Then run:
npm run dev
The pagination is fixed!
But When I delete resources\views\vendor\pagination and rerun npm run dev, The pagination is broken again!
This makes me think that Mix is missing the CSS classes used in the pagination element. which wasn't the case before I upgrade.
So how can I fix this? (exporting feels like a patch and not a solution).

Answer 1

By going back to the guide Upgrading your Tailwind CSS projects from v2 to v3 I noticed:
If you weren’t already using the purge option in your project, it’s crucial that you configure your template paths now or your compiled CSS will be empty.
I fixed the issue by referencing "./vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Pagination/resources/views/*.blade.php" in tailwind.config.js and running npm run dev
const defaultTheme = require("tailwindcss/defaultTheme");
module.exports = {
content: [
"./resources/**/*.blade.php",
"./resources/**/*.js",
"./resources/**/*.vue",
"./vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Pagination/resources/views/*.blade.php",
],
// ...
}
Checking my upgrade commit
Because I blindly followed the "Laravel with Tailwind 3 docs/posts" without noticing that they did not consider the Pagination.
