Phoenix + DaisyUI

Setup

Installation

Reference this repository on your mix.exs file to start using.

def deps do
  [
    {:daisy_ui_components, "~> 0.7"}
  ]
end

Add through npm the daisy UI package inside your phoenix application:

cd assets
npm i -D daisyui@latest

On tailwind.config.js include Live DaisyUI Components under the content list and reference under plugins

module.exports = {
  content: [
    //...
    "../deps/daisy_ui_components/**/*.*ex" // <- reference DaisyUIComponents as content path
  ],
  //...
  plugins: [
    //...
    // comment the tailwind form to not conflict with DaisyUI
    // require("@tailwindcss/forms"),
    require("daisyui")  <- // add daisyUI plugin
    //...
  ]
}

Add error translation function to your app’s config.exs file. This function is used to translate ecto changeset errors

config :daisy_ui_components, translate_function: &MyAppWeb.CoreComponents.translate_error/1

And now this library is ready. To have the components available under liveview, import the components on the web folder

defp html_helpers do
  quote do
    # Translation
    use Gettext, backend: MyAppWeb.Gettext

    # HTML escaping functionality
    import Phoenix.HTML

    # Import DaisyUI components into your project
    use DaisyUIComponents

    # Comment your own CoreComponents to not conflict with the defaults of this library.
    # import YourProjectWeb.CoreComponents
    # Importing CoreComponents from your project is no longer necessary since
    # DaisyUIComponents.CoreComponents offers a drop in replacement
    # If you still want to use your own core components, remember to delete the default components generated from phoenix in this file
    # ...
  end
end

Finally, in order to not conflict with some of the DaisyUI default styles, remove the bg-white class in your root.html.heex file.

# Change from this
<body class="bg-white">
# to this
<body>

Core Components

This library aims to integrate seamlessly with Phoenix generators. For this reason you don’t need the components inside the CoreComponents after adding use DaisyUIComponents into your web file. All the components should be compatible, styled with DaisyUI.

If you encounter any compatibility issues, feel free to open an issue or submit a pull request, and I’ll take a look.

Liveview 1.0

This project is fully compatible with the Liveview 1.0 🔥. If you are using a previous Liveview version, check the migration guide.

and that’s it! You can use the components in your application
