Solid.js component library

Use daisyUI as a Tailwind CSS component library for Solid.js projects

Solid.js

Solid is a JavaScript framework for building reactive user interfaces with fine-grained updates.

It uses JSX, but it doesn't use a virtual DOM in the same way React does. Solid tracks reactive dependencies directly and updates the affected DOM nodes when state changes.

That model keeps component code familiar while making updates precise. SolidStart adds routing, server functions, and full-stack app structure for teams that want a framework around Solid.

Solid.js + daisyUI

daisyUI works well with Solid because it stays out of the reactive layer. Solid controls state, signals, effects, routing, and events. daisyUI provides component classes.

The split is useful:

• No extra runtime: daisyUI doesn't add JavaScript on top of Solid's fine-grained reactivity.

• Readable JSX: btn, card, menu, input, and alert keep components easy to scan.

• Behavior stays explicit: Dialog state, validation, filters, and menus remain Solid code instead of hidden library behavior.

• Themeable UI: Use Solid state or server-rendered attributes to control daisyUI themes.

Solid keeps interactions precise. daisyUI helps you avoid rebuilding every base component style.

Install Tailwind CSS and daisyUI for Solid.js

Setting up daisyUI in Solid uses Vite or SolidStart.

Create a Solid project, install Tailwind CSS, @tailwindcss/vite, and daisyUI, then add @plugin "daisyui" to your CSS file.

After setup, use daisyUI classes in Solid components and route layouts.
