Getting started

Flowbite can be included as a plugin into an existing Tailwind CSS project and it is supposed to help you build websites faster by having a set of web components to work with built with the utility classes from Tailwind CSS.

Require via NPM

Make sure that you have Node.js and Tailwind CSS installed.

1. Install Flowbite as a dependency using NPM by running the following command:

npm i flowbite

1. Require Flowbite as a plugin inside the tailwind.config.js file:

module.exports = {

    plugins: [
        require('flowbite/plugin')
    ]

}

1. Include the main JavaScript file to make interactive elements work:

<script src="../path/to/flowbite/dist/flowbite.js"></script>

If you use Webpack or other bundlers you can also import it like this:

import 'flowbite';

Include via CDN

The quickest way to get started working with FlowBite is to simply include the CSS and JavaScript into your project via CDN.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://unpkg.com/flowbite@latest/dist/flowbite.min.css" />

And include the following javascript file before the end of the body element:
