Config

How to change the default configuration of daisyUI?

daisyUI can be configured from your tailwind.config.js file. Default config:
module.exports = {
  //...

  // add daisyUI plugin
  plugins: [require("daisyui")],

  // daisyUI config (optional)
  daisyui: {
    styled: true,
    themes: true,
    base: true,
    utils: true,
    logs: true,
    rtl: false,
    prefix: "",
    darkTheme: "dark",
  },
}

Config values explained:

  • styled

    Boolean (default: true)

    If it's true, components will have colors and style so you won't need to design anything. If it's false, components will have no color and no visual style so you can design your own style on a basic skeleton.
  • themes

    Boolean or array (default: true)

    If it's true, all themes will be included. If it's false, only light (default) theme will be available. If it's an array, only themes in the array will be included and the first theme will be the default theme. Read more about themes.
  • base

    Boolean (default: true)

    If it's true, a few base styles will be added.
  • utils

    Boolean (default: true)

    If it's true, responsive and utility classes will be added.
  • logs

    Boolean (default: true)

    If it's true, daisyUI shows logs in the terminal while CSS is building.
  • rtl

    Boolean (default: false)

    If it's true, your theme will be right-to-left. You need to add dir='rtl' to your body tag. If you're using daisyUI with RTL option, I suggest using tailwindcss-flip plugin to flip all your Tailwind utilities automatically.
  • darkTheme

    String (default: "dark")

    Allows us to pick another theme for system's auto dark mode. By default, dark theme (or a custom theme named dark) will be the default theme if no theme is specified and the user is using dark mode on their system. With this config, you can set another theme to be the default dark mode theme.
  • prefix

    String (default: "")

    Adds a prefix to class name for all daisyUI classes (including component classes, modifier classes and responsive classes). For example: btn will become prefix-btn. If you're using a second CSS library that has similar class names, you can use this config to avoid conflicts. Utility classes like color names (e.g. bg-primary) or border-radius (e.g. rounded-box) will not be affected by this config because they're being added as extensions to Tailwind CSS classes. If you use daisyUI prefix option (like daisy-) and Tailwind CSS prefix option (like tw-) together, classnames will be prefixed like this: tw-daisy-btn.
