flowbite

Flowbite is an open-source UI component library and front-end framework built on top of Tailwind CSS. Its goal is to speed up website development by providing a ready-made set of web components that use Tailwind's utility classes, so developers can assemble interfaces from existing patterns instead of writing every element from scratch. **Installation and usage** The library can be added as a plugin to an existing Tailwind CSS project via npm (`npm install flowbite`). The documented setup imports Flowbite theme variables into the main CSS file, registers the plugin, configures source files inside node_modules, and loads the bundled JavaScript that powers interactive elements. Several built-in themes are referenced in the README, including default, minimal, enterprise, playful and mono variants, each pairing with a specific web font. A CDN route is also described for quickly adding the minified CSS and JS to a page. **Interaction model** Interactive components are primarily driven by a data-attribute interface: attributes such as `data-modal-target` and `data-modal-toggle` wire trigger elements to components without custom scripting, and most documentation examples follow this strategy. For more control, an `initFlowbite()` function (or per-category helpers like `initDropdowns` and `initModals`) lets frameworks such as Vue and Nuxt register the event listeners themselves. **Programmatic and typed APIs** The package exposes components as JavaScript classes supporting both ESM and CJS. A modal, for example, can be instantiated with options covering placement, backdrop behaviour and callbacks like `onShow`, `onHide` and `onToggle`. TypeScript type declarations are provided, including interfaces such as `ModalOptions` and `ModalInterface`, so option objects and instances can be typed. **Component catalogue** The README lists a broad range of components, among them alerts, badges, breadcrumbs, buttons and button groups, cards, dropdowns, forms, list groups, typography, modals, tabs, navbars, pagination, timelines, progress bars, tables, toasts, tooltips, datepickers, spinners, footers, accordions, sidebars, carousels, avatars, ratings and a variety of form inputs (input field, file input, search input, select, textarea, checkbox, radio, toggle, range slider). **Framework and platform support** Flowbite UI components have native RTL support, enabled through the `dir="rtl"` attribute. Community-maintained standalone libraries exist for React, Vue, Svelte, Angular and Qwik. Integration guides are also linked for frameworks such as Next.js, Remix, Nuxt, Astro, MeteorJS, Gatsby, SolidJS and Qwik, and for back-end frameworks including Laravel, Symfony, Ruby on Rails 7, Phoenix (Elixir), Django and Flask, since the library relies on vanilla JavaScript. **Related resources** The project points to additional resources around the same ecosystem: a Figma design system, prefabricated "Flowbite Blocks" sections, an icon set, and a GPT assistant. A commercial Pro version is offered alongside the open-source package, and the repository links to community channels such as Discord and npm download/version badges. Licensing is stated as MIT.
