React Blockquote - Flowbite

The blockquote component can be used to quote text content from an external source that can be used for testimonials, reviews, and quotes inside an article

Get started with a collection of blockquote components when quoting external sources such as quotes inside an article, user reviews, and testimonials based on multiple examples of layouts, styles, and contexts.

The main <Blockquote> component can be used together with the <cite> tag or attribute to also mention the source of the quote content.

To start using the component make sure that you have imported it from Flowbite React:

import { Blockquote } from "flowbite-react";

      complex dashboard. Perfect choice for your next SaaS application."
    </Blockquote>
  );
}

Does your user know how to exit out of screens? Can they follow your intended user journey and buy something from the site you’ve designed? By running a usability test, you’ll be able to see how users will interact with your design once it’s live.

First of all you need to understand how Flowbite works. This library is not another framework. Rather, it is a set of components based on Tailwind CSS that you can just copy-paste from the documentation.

"use client";

import { Blockquote } from "flowbite-react";

export function Component() {
  return (
    <>
      <p className="text-gray-500 dark:text-gray-400">

        your design once it’s live.
