What problem does it solve?

DaisyUI v5 helps you avoid memorizing Tailwind class combinations by giving semantic, theme-aware component class names for fast, consistent UI building.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Component-first class authoring: Build common UI elements (buttons, cards, modals, drawers, menus, tabs, tables, form inputs) using DaisyUI’s semantic component class patterns.
  • Theme-aware color system: Apply semantic colors (primary/secondary/accent/neutral/base/info/success/warning/error) without relying on hardcoded Tailwind color scales.
  • Tailwind CSS 4 compatibility: Works with Tailwind CSS v4’s CSS-only setup using @import "tailwindcss" and @plugin "daisyui".
  • Use case: Create a responsive settings page with a drawer sidebar, card-based sections, and accessible form controls using DaisyUI class rules instead of custom CSS.

Quick Start

Ask your AI to write the UI for your page using DaisyUI v5 semantic component classes and Tailwind utilities, and ensure it follows DaisyUI v5 rules for colors and dark mode handling.
