Use with RedwoodJS - Flowbite React

This guide provides three ways to integrate Flowbite React with RedwoodJS:

1. Quick Start: Create a new project with everything pre-configured
2. Add to Existing Project: Add Flowbite React to an existing RedwoodJS project
3. Manual Setup: Set up everything from scratch manually

Quick Start#

The fastest way to get started is using our project creation CLI, which sets up a new RedwoodJS project with Flowbite React, Tailwind CSS, and all necessary configurations:

npx create-flowbite-react@latest -t redwoodjs

This will:

• Create a new RedwoodJS project
• Install and configure Tailwind CSS
• Set up Flowbite React with all required dependencies
• Configure necessary project settings
• Set up example components

Add to Existing Project#

If you already have a RedwoodJS project and want to add Flowbite React, you can use our initialization CLI:

npx flowbite-react@latest init

This will automatically:

• Install Flowbite React and its dependencies
• Configure Tailwind CSS to include Flowbite React plugin
• Set up necessary configurations

Manual Setup#

If you prefer to set everything up manually or need more control over the configuration, follow these steps:

1. Create Project#

Create a new RedwoodJS project:

yarn create redwood-app my-redwood-app
cd my-redwood-app
yarn install

Create a new homepage using the CLI:

yarn redwood generate page home /

2. Configure Tailwind CSS#

Install Tailwind CSS using the RedwoodJS CLI:

yarn rw setup ui tailwindcss

This will automatically:

• Install Tailwind CSS and its dependencies
• Create and configure the necessary Tailwind configuration files
• Update your CSS files to include Tailwind directives

3. Install Flowbite React#

Setup VSCode using Flowbite React CLI:

npx flowbite-react@latest setup vscode

Install Flowbite React in web directory:

cd web && npx flowbite-react@latest init

This will:

• Install Flowbite React and its dependencies
• Configure Tailwind CSS to include Flowbite React plugin
• Configure Vite to include Flowbite React plugin

Try it out#

Now that you have successfully installed Flowbite React you can start using the components from the library:

// web/src/pages/HomePage/HomePage.tsx
import { Button } from "flowbite-react";

export default function HomePage() {
  return (
    <>
      <Button>Click me</Button>
    </>
  );
}
