How to install and use daisyUI with HTMX

This guide uses daisyUI as a Node.js dependency. If you don't want to use Node.js, try the CDN version of daisyUI.

Initialize a new Node project in the current directory using npm init -y if it's not a Node project already.

Install Tailwind CSS CLI and daisyUI

Terminal

npm install tailwindcss@latest @tailwindcss/cli@latest daisyui@latest

Add Tailwind CSS and daisyUI to your CSS file.
Address your HTML and other markup files in the source function.

app.css

@import "tailwindcss";
@plugin "daisyui";

Add a script to your package.json to build the CSS.

package.json

{
  "scripts": {
    "build:css": "npx @tailwindcss/cli -i app.css -o public/output.css"
  },
}

Run the script to build the CSS file

Terminal

npm run build:css

This command creates a public/output.css file with the compiled CSS. You can link this file to your HTML file.

public/index.html

<link href="./output.css" rel="stylesheet">

Now you can use daisyUI class names!
