With a focus on flexibility and customization, this library offers a range of features to streamline the UI development process.

  • Configurable Theme: Offers a configurable theme to apply a design system approach for base styling of components, with the ability to customize color, space, etc. classes.
  • Composable Components: Components are highly composable, offering flexibility and functional wrappers for UI state control.
  • Accessibility: Components follow accessibility best practices, ensuring inputs, toggleable components, and related elements meet accessibility standards.
  • PurgeCSS Support: Provides support for PurgeCSS to remove unused utilities and offers a whitelist of classes and custom extractor for optimal usage.

Installation:

To install Tailwind React UI, you can follow these steps:

npm install tailwind-react-ui

After installation, you can import and use components within your React application:

import { Button, Card, Navbar } from 'tailwind-react-ui';

Summary:

Tailwind React UI is a valuable library for developers seeking to create custom user interfaces with the flexibility and customization offered by the Tailwind CSS utility framework. By providing composable components, configurable themes, and support for accessibility and PurgeCSS, this library simplifies the UI development process and allows for quick prototyping and extensive customization.
