Part 14 — Integrating daisyUI and dark mode

Added daisyUI on top of Tailwind for ready-made components and theming.

Install

npm install -D daisyui
// tailwind.config.js
plugins: [require("daisyui")]

Theming + dark mode

daisyUI themes give consistent tokens (primary, base-100…) and a built-in light/dark switch.

daisyui: { themes: ["light", "dark"] }

Why daisyUI

  • Component classes (btn, card, badge) speed up layout.
  • Semantic color tokens make multi-theme support trivial.
