I am using 2018.3 also. If you are using tailwind via Webpack, this may be of use:

I'm not sure, but I think PhpStorm will try to automatically find your Webpack config file based on the default naming convention (webpack.config.js I think), and from that it can figure out all it needs in order to get the code suggestions working. HOWEVER, if your Webpack config file is named differently, then you'll need to inform PhpStorm. It might be a good idea to look into this, regardless if your conf file is named differently or not.

Go to Preferences -> Languages & Frameworks -> JavaScript -> Webpack

From there just point it to your config file, and you should be set! That did the trick for me, at least.

Update:

I thought this fixed it for me, but it didn't take long to realize it in fact did not, but only a few autocomplete suggestions pop up now and then. It works fine in another project where I manually installed Tailwind without Webpack, but when trying to use https://github.com/chasegiunta/craft-vue-tailwind for Craft CMS which sets up Webpack and Tailwind for you, autocomplete does not work..

For those coming from google like me and still have problems with Tailwind Auto Completion:

I wanted to make Tailwind auto-completion work without building on every change.

I solved it by adding the following to my webpack.config.js file (I am using webpack-dev-server):

devServer: {
    writeToDisk: true
}

I think it's possible to add make it work without writing to disk, but I have not investigated further.

for reference, I got the solution from webpack/webpack-dev-server#1141 (comment)
