Laravel component library

Use daisyUI as a Tailwind CSS component library for Laravel projects

Laravel

Laravel is a PHP framework for building web applications with expressive routing, Blade templates, database tooling, queues, caching, events, jobs, and authentication workflows.

Laravel's strength is the way those pieces fit together. A typical project can move from routes to controllers, models, migrations, jobs, and views without pulling in a new library for every core feature.

Blade is especially useful for server-rendered UI. It gives Laravel developers layouts, components, slots, conditionals, loops, and reusable view patterns while staying close to HTML.

Laravel + daisyUI

daisyUI works well with Laravel because it gives Blade templates a component-class vocabulary without requiring a separate JavaScript UI framework.

The fit is strongest in day-to-day product screens:

• Blade-friendly markup: Classes like btn, card, input, table, and modal read well in Blade components and layouts.

• Works with Livewire and Alpine: Keep interactivity in Laravel-friendly tools while daisyUI handles the styling.

• CSS-only styling: daisyUI adds no client-side state layer, so it won't compete with your chosen Laravel front-end stack.

• Themeable layouts: Store a theme in session, a cookie, or a user setting and apply it at the root layout.

That keeps Laravel productive on both sides: server features stay in Laravel, and repeated UI doesn't need custom CSS for every screen.

Install Tailwind CSS and daisyUI for Laravel

Laravel's current front-end tooling uses Vite, which makes daisyUI setup direct.

Create a Laravel project, install daisyUI, and add @plugin "daisyui" to the CSS file where Tailwind CSS is imported.

Then use daisyUI classes in Blade views, Blade components, Livewire components, or Inertia pages.
