Installation
Install the necessary packages and set up your project. This tool automates the process, streamlining your setup with no extra steps required.
Installation via CLI
Before executing the command, ensure that tailwind-css is installed. If not, follow the instructions here for installation.
or you can choose any theme listed here
This CLI will overwrite your .css file. It is highly recommended to use this in a new project.
Add Components
Next, use add [component-name] to add components in your project. This allows for selective installation without the need for a full setup. Install only what you need, or refer to the documentation to manually include components. Here's how to add a button:
Or add multiple components at once:
Manual Installation
To begin setting up the design system, make sure tailwindcss is already installed. Then, start by installing these packages:
Next, add tailwind-variants and clsx for utility functions:
Following that, include the animation package for managing animations and icons:
CSS
Start by adjusting your main CSS file. For example, if you are using Laravel, this would be resources/css/app.css or src/app/globals.css if you are using Next.js. You should add the following code:
@import "tailwindcss";
@import "tw-animate-css";
@custom-variant dark (&:is(.dark *));

}Utils
Create a helper function. Usually located in lib/utils.ts:
import { type ClassValue, clsx } from 'clsx'
import { twMerge } from 'tailwind-merge'
export const cn = (...inputs: ClassValue[]) => twMerge(clsx(inputs))Hooks
Create a use-mobile hook. Usually located in hooks/use-mobile.ts:
import { useEffect, useState } from 'react'
export function useIsMobile(mobileBreakpoint = 768) {
const [isMobile, setIsMobile] = useState<boolean | undefined>(undefined)
useEffect(() => {
const mql = window.matchMedia(`(max-width: ${mobileBreakpoint - 1}px)`)
const onChange = () => {
setIsMobile(window.innerWidth < mobileBreakpoint)
}
mql.addEventListener('change', onChange)
setIsMobile(window.innerWidth < mobileBreakpoint)
return () => mql.removeEventListener('change', onChange)
}, [])
return !!isMobile
}TS Config
Next, incorporate the following settings into your tsconfig.json file:
{
"compilerOptions": {
"baseUrl": ".",
"paths": {
"@/*": ["./*"]
}
}
}TS Config with src Folder
Ensure you configure the paths property correctly if your project includes a src folder. If you want to organize
the UI folder, adjust your paths accordingly like this:
{
"compilerOptions": {
"baseUrl": ".",
"paths": {
"@/*": ["./src/*"]
}
}
}
