Use with Rspack - Flowbite React

Learn how to install Flowbite React with Rspack

This guide provides three ways to integrate Flowbite React with Rspack:

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

Quick Start (Recommended)

Quick Start#

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

npx create-flowbite-react@latest -t rspack

This will:

  • Create a new Rspack 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

Add to Existing Project#

If you already have a Rspack 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

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 Rspack project:

npx create-rspack@latest

When prompted:

  • Select the "React" template

2. Configure Tailwind CSS#

Install Tailwind CSS and PostCSS:

npm install -D tailwindcss @tailwindcss/postcss postcss postcss-loader

Update the rspack.config.ts file to enable the postcss-loader:

export default defineConfig({
  // ...
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.css$/,
        use: ["postcss-loader"],
        type: "css",
      },
      // ...
    ],
  },
}

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} */
export default {
  plugins: {
    "@tailwindcss/postcss": {},
  },
};

Update the css file src/index.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
  • Set up necessary configurations

Try it out#

Now that you have successfully installed Flowbite React you can start using the components from the library:

// src/App.tsx
import { Button } from "flowbite-react";

export function App() {
  return (
    <>
      <Button>Click me</Button>
    </>
  );
}
