daisyUI 5
daisyUI 5 is a CSS library for Tailwind CSS daisyUI 5 provides class names for common UI components
daisyUI 5 install notes
- daisyUI 5 requires Tailwind CSS v4
tailwind.config.jsfile is deprecated in Tailwind CSS v4. do not usetailwind.config.js. Tailwind CSS v4 only needs@import "tailwindcss";in the CSS file if it's a node dependency.- daisyUI 5 can be installed using
npm i -D daisyui@latestand then adding@plugin "daisyui";to the CSS file - daisyUI is suggested to be installed as a dependency but if you really want to use it from CDN, you can use Tailwind CSS and daisyUI CDN files:
<link href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/daisyui@5" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@tailwindcss/browser@4"></script>
- A CSS file with Tailwind CSS and daisyUI looks like this (if it's a node dependency)
@import "tailwindcss";
@plugin "daisyui";
daisyUI 5 usage rules
- We can give styles to a HTML element by adding daisyUI class names to it. By adding a component class name, part class names (if there's any available for that component), and modifier class names (if there's any available for that component)
- Components can be customized using Tailwind CSS utility classes if the customization is not possible using the existing daisyUI classes. For example
btn px-10sets a custom horizontal padding to abtn - If customization of daisyUI styles using Tailwind CSS utility classes didn't work because of CSS specificity issues, you can use the
!at the end of the Tailwind CSS utility class to override the existing styles. For examplebtn bg-red-500!sets a custom background color to abtnforcefully. This is a last resort solution and should be used sparingly - If a specific component or something similar to it doesn't exist in daisyUI, you can create your own component using Tailwind CSS utility
- when using Tailwind CSS
flexandgridfor layout, it should be responsive using Tailwind CSS responsive utility prefixes. - Only allowed class names are existing daisyUI class names or Tailwind CSS utility classes.
- Ideally, you won't need to write any custom CSS. Using daisyUI class names or Tailwind CSS utility classes is preferred.
- suggested - if you need placeholder images, use https://picsum.photos/200/300 with the size you want
- suggested - when designing , don't add a custom font unless it's necessary
- don't add
bg-base-100 text-base-contentto body unless it's necessary
daisyUI 5 class names are one of the following categories. these type names are only for reference and are not used in the actual code
component: the required component classpart: a child part of a componentstyle: sets a specific style to component or partbehavior: changes the behavior of component or partcolor: sets a specific color to component or partsize: sets a specific size to component or partplacement: sets a specific placement to component or partdirection: sets a specific direction to component or partmodifier: modifies the component or part in a specific way

daisyUI color rules
- daisyUI adds semantic color names to Tailwind CSS colors
- daisyUI color names can be used in utility classes, like other Tailwind CSS color names. for example,
bg-primarywill use the primary color for the background - daisyUI color names include variables as value so they can change based the theme
- There's no need to use
dark:for daisyUI color names - Ideally only daisyUI color names should be used for colors so the colors can change automatically based on the theme
- If a Tailwind CSS color name (like
red-500) is used, it will be same red color on all themes - If a daisyUI color name (like
primary) is used, it will change color based on the theme - Using Tailwind CSS color names for text colors should be avoided because Tailwind CSS color
text-gray-800onbg-base-100would be unreadable on a dark theme - because on dark theme,bg-base-100is a dark color *-contentcolors should have a good contrast compared to their associated colors- suggestion - when designing a page use
base-*colors for majority of the page. useprimarycolor for important elements
daisyUI custom theme with custom colors
A CSS file with Tailwind CSS, daisyUI and a custom daisyUI theme looks like this:
