Tailwind CSS and daisyUI Best Practices

Learn how to use Tailwind CSS and daisyUI together for maintainable, themeable interfaces.

This template uses Tailwind CSS 4 with daisyUI 5 for component styling. Here are some patterns that work well.

Semantic Colors

Use daisyUI color names like primary, base-content, and neutral so your UI adapts to theme changes automatically.

Component Classes

Prefer daisyUI component classes (btn, card, menu) over custom Tailwind. They're consistent and theme-aware.

Responsive Layouts

Use Tailwind breakpoints for layout. The template uses md: and lg: for sidebar visibility and grid columns.
