Best UnoCSS component library

UnoCSS

UnoCSS has completely changed my perspective on utility-first CSS with its incredible performance and flexibility. It's not just another Tailwind alternative - it's a fundamentally new approach to CSS tooling.

What makes UnoCSS special is that it's an atomic CSS engine rather than a framework. This distinction means it has no preset utilities - you define exactly what you need or use community presets, keeping your CSS bundle as small as possible.

The performance is simply mind-blowing. UnoCSS generates styles on-demand with near-zero runtime overhead, and its HMR (Hot Module Replacement) is almost instantaneous even in large projects.

I particularly love UnoCSS's innovative features like attributify mode (which moves utilities to HTML attributes for cleaner markup), pure CSS icons, and variant groups that eliminate repetition in your class lists.

UnoCSS + daisyUI

As someone who's used UnoCSS in production, I've found that pairing it with daisyUI through its dedicated preset creates an unbeatable combination for fast, beautiful UI development.

Here's why this integration works so brilliantly:

  • Perfect compatibility: The daisyUI preset for UnoCSS provides seamless integration, allowing you to use all of daisyUI's components within the UnoCSS ecosystem.

  • Best of both worlds: You get UnoCSS's atomic flexibility and performance alongside daisyUI's semantic component approach, using each where it makes the most sense.

  • Cleaner markup: daisyUI's component classes likebtnandcardkeep your HTML readable even while using UnoCSS's utility approach for custom styling.

  • Theme consistency: daisyUI's 35+ built-in themes work perfectly with UnoCSS, making it easy to create visually consistent interfaces with multiple theme options.

This powerful combination accelerates development while maintaining the exceptional performance and flexibility that UnoCSS is known for.

It's great! Been using it in all my projects!
