Use with Waku - Flowbite React
Learn how to install Flowbite React with Waku
This guide provides three ways to integrate Flowbite React with Waku:
- Quick Start: Create a new project with everything pre-configured
- Add to Existing Project: Add Flowbite React to an existing Waku project
- Manual Setup: Set up everything from scratch manually
Quick Start (Recommended)
#
Quick StartThe fastest way to get started is using our project creation CLI, which sets up a new Waku project with Flowbite React, Tailwind CSS, and all necessary configurations:
npx create-flowbite-react@latest -t waku
This will:
- Create a new Waku 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 ProjectIf you already have a Waku 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

#

file in the root of your project:

Try it outNow that you have successfully installed Flowbite React you can start using the components from the library. Remember that Waku uses React Server Components by default, so you'll need to add the 'use client' directive to use interactive components:
// src/pages/index.tsx
import { Button } from "flowbite-react";
export default async function HomePage() {
return (
<>
<Button>Click me</Button>
</>
);
}
