Use with Meteor.js - Flowbite React

This guide provides three ways to integrate Flowbite React with Meteor.js:

1. Quick Start: Create a new project with everything pre-configured
2. Add to Existing Project: Add Flowbite React to an existing Meteor project
3. Manual Setup: Set up everything from scratch manually

Quick Start#

The fastest way to get started is using our project creation CLI, which sets up a new Meteor project with Flowbite React, Tailwind CSS, and all necessary configurations:

npx create-flowbite-react@latest -t meteorjs

This will:

• Create a new Meteor project
• Install and configure Tailwind CSS
• Set up Flowbite React with all required dependencies
• Configure dark mode support
• Set up example components

Add to Existing Project#

If you already have a Meteor project and want to add Flowbite React, you can use our initialization CLI:

npx flowbite-react@latest init

This will automatically:

• Install Flowbite React and its dependencies
• Configure Tailwind CSS to include Flowbite React plugin
• Set up necessary configurations

Manual Setup#

If you prefer to set everything up manually or need more control over the configuration, follow these steps:

1. Create Project#

Create a new Meteor project:

For JavaScript:

meteor create meteor-project
cd meteor-project

For TypeScript:

meteor create meteor-project --typescript
cd meteor-project

2. Configure Tailwind CSS#

Install Tailwind CSS and its peer dependencies:

npm install -D tailwindcss @tailwindcss/postcss postcss postcss-load-config

Create a postcss.config.mjs file:

touch postcss.config.mjs

Add @tailwindcss/postcss to your postcss.config.mjs file:

/** @type {import('postcss-load-config').Config} */
const config = {
  plugins: {
    "@tailwindcss/postcss": {},
  },
};
export default config;

Update the css file client/main.css to include Tailwind CSS:

@import "tailwindcss";

3. Install Flowbite React#

Install Flowbite React:

npx flowbite-react@latest init

This will:

• Install Flowbite React and its dependencies
• Configure Tailwind CSS to include Flowbite React plugin

Try it out#

Now that you have successfully installed Flowbite React you can start using the components from the library. Create or update a component in your Meteor app:

// imports/ui/App.tsx (or .jsx)
import { Button } from "flowbite-react";
import React from "react";

export const App = () => (
  <>
    <Button>Click me</Button>
  </>
);
