Visually building Tailwind CSS components using Flowbite and Daisy UI

I recently posted about building this in the tailwindcss subreddit, and it got a lot of attention. So, I decided to write a step-by-step process on how to do this and provide a better tutorial.

Tailwind CSS is a powerful utility-first framework that makes building custom designs fast and efficient. With component libraries like Flowbite and Daisy UI, you can speed up development even further by using pre-designed, customizable components.

Now combined with a visual builder, you can achieve faster development times and higher design consistency, while also reducing the need for extensive coding.

Flowbite offers a wide range of ready-to-use components like buttons, modals, and navigation bars, all fully responsive and customizable to fit your design needs. Its extensive documentation ensures you can quickly integrate these components into your projects.

DaisyUI simplifies your code by reducing the need for long class names. It offers customizable components with built-in dark mode and multiple themes, making it easier to build and style web projects efficiently.

Windframe ties it all together with its powerful visual editor, allowing you to easily drag and drop Flowbite and Daisy UI components to create your designs intuitively. With real-time visualization and feedback, you can effortlessly customize your interfaces on the fly, significantly reducing the need for extensive coding. This streamlined process makes it quicker and easier to craft visually appealing and highly functional interfaces.

Here’s how to visually build Flowbite and Daisy UI components using Windframe:

Tutorial: How to Visually Build Flowbite and Daisy UI Components Using Windframe

Step 1: Access the Windframe Visual Builder

• Start by opening the Windframe Editor and creating a new project

Step 2: Install Flowbite and Daisy UI

• Click the Import button within the Windframe interface to access the library options.

• Click on Install Flowbite or Install Daisy UI to add either of these component libraries to your project. The selected library will be automatically installed in the editor.

Step 3: Import Flowbite and Daisy UI

• With Flowbite or Daisy UI installed, you can import their components into the editor and visually edit them. We will be using Flowbite in this example and importing a component from the team block section.

  • First, copy the code of the block from Flowbite. Then, click the import button and select the HTML import option.
  • Paste the copied code from Flowbite into the modal. Finally, click the import button again to import it into the editor. The component should now be imported into the editor.

Step 4: Start Visual building and editing

• Customize the components using the visual editor, adjusting styles, and properties to fit your design requirements.

Step 5: Export Your Project

• When you’re satisfied with your design, you can also export the project to continue working on it outside the platform or share it with others.
