Pre-built, polished components — buttons, cards, modals, tabs — so you ship a consistent interface fast instead of styling every pixel from scratch.
Every button below is a real DaisyUI component — just an HTML element with utility-style classes like btn btn-primary. No custom CSS. DaisyUI ships these as plain CSS on top of Tailwind.
<button class="btn btn-primary">Primary</button> <button class="btn btn-outline btn-info">Outline</button>
Cards bundle structure (card, card-body, card-actions) so spacing and shadows are consistent everywhere you use one.
Everything in Free, plus priority support and unlimited projects.
<div class="card bg-base-100 shadow-xl"> <div class="card-body"> <h2 class="card-title">Pro plan</h2> <div class="card-actions justify-end"> <button class="btn btn-primary">Upgrade</button> </div> </div> </div>
Form controls come pre-themed. Flip the toggle, tick the boxes — these are real DaisyUI form classes, fully interactive.
<input type="checkbox" class="toggle toggle-primary"> <input class="input input-bordered"> <input type="range" class="range range-secondary">
DaisyUI tabs use the tab classes. Click between them — this version is driven by radio inputs, so it's pure CSS interactivity from the kit.
DaisyUI's tabs-boxed variant gives a pill-style tab bar. Other variants: tabs-bordered, tabs-lifted.
<div role="tablist" class="tabs tabs-boxed"> <input type="radio" name="t" role="tab" class="tab" aria-label="Overview"> </div>
Status messages come in info / success / warning / error flavours — one class swap changes the whole look.
<div role="alert" class="alert alert-success"> <span>Your purchase has been confirmed!</span> </div>
DaisyUI's modal uses the native HTML <dialog> element with modal classes. Click to open it — fully working, no JavaScript from us beyond showModal().
<button onclick="my_modal.showModal()">Open</button> <dialog id="my_modal" class="modal"> <div class="modal-box">...</div> </dialog>
DaisyUI is pure CSS, so it runs anywhere. Most popular kits, though, are React-based and need a build step — here's the lay of the land.
Copy-paste React components built on Radix + Tailwind. You own the code.
ReactMaterial UI — huge, mature React component library based on Google's Material Design.
ReactAccessible, themeable React components with a friendly style-prop API.
ReactUnstyled, accessible React primitives — you bring the styling.
ReactEnterprise-grade React kit with a vast set of data-dense components.
ReactPure-CSS Tailwind plugin — works in any HTML, which is why we used it here.
CSSdaisyui@4.12 from jsDelivr) layered on the official Tailwind Play CDN. Every button, card, toggle, tab, alert and modal above is a genuine DaisyUI component rendered live in your browser — DaisyUI is pure CSS, so no build step is needed. The React-based kits (shadcn/ui, MUI, Chakra, Radix, Ant) are described, not rendered, because they require a bundler. The shared CSS shell styles the surrounding page.
