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.
