Install Flowbite as a dependency using NPM by running the following command: ```bash npm install flowbite ``` 2. Require Flowbite as a plugin inside the `tailwind.config.js` file: ```javascript module.exports = { plugins: [ require('flowbite/plugin') ] } ``` 3. Make sure that you add the template path to the `tailwind.config.js` file: ```javascript module.exports = { content: [ "./node_modules/flowbite/**/*.js" ] } ``` 4. Include the main JavaScript file to make interactive elements work: ```html ``` ### Include via CDN The quickest way to get started working with Flowbite is to simply include the CSS and JavaScript into your project via a CDN service such as UNPKG or CDNJS (content delivery networks). Require the following minified stylesheet inside the `head` tag: ```html ``` And include the following javascript file before the end of the `body` tag: ```html ``` ### Bundled JavaScript One of the most popular way of using Flowbite is to include the bundled Javascript file which is UMD ready using a bundler such as Webpack or Parcel which makes sure that all of the data attributes and functionality will work out-of-the-box. You can directly import the main JavaScript file inside your bundled `app-bundle.js` file like this: ```javascript import 'flowbite'; ``` This file has access to all of the components and it automatically applies event listeners to the data attributes. ### Data attributes The preferred way to use the interactive UI components from Flowbite is via the data attributes interface which allows us to add functionality via the HTML element attributes and most of the examples on our documentation applies this strategy. For example, to set up a modal component all you need to do is use `data-modal-target` and `data-modal-{toggle|show|hide}` to toggle, show, or hide the component by clicking on any trigger element. ```html ``` #### Init functions You can also use the init functions to set up the event listeners yourself. Here's an example how you can do it with Vue or Nuxt: ``` ``` The `initFlowbite` function sets up all of the init functions for dropdowns, modals, navbars, tooltips and so on to hook onto the data attributes. Alternatively, you can also initialise each component category class separately with `initDropdowns` or `initModals`. You can view more examples by browsing the [components from Flowbite](#components). ### ESM and CJS Flowbite also offers an API for using the components programmatically and it supports both CJS and ESM for JavaScript which can be helpful if you need to expand the default capabilities of the data attributes interface and get access to function callbacks. Here's an example how you can import and create a new Modal component inside JavaScript: ```javascript import { Modal } from 'flowbite' const $modalElement = document.querySelector('#modalEl'); const modalOptions = { placement: 'bottom-right', backdrop: 'dynamic', backdropClasses: 'bg-gray-900/50 dark:bg-gray-900/80 fixed inset-0 z-40', onHide: () => { console.log('modal is hidden'); }, onShow: () => { console.log('modal is shown'); }, onToggle: () => { console.log('modal has been toggled'); } } const modal = new Modal($modalElement, modalOptions); modal.show(); ``` Check out the JavaScript behaviour section of each component's page to learn how you can use this. ### TypeScript Flowbite supports type declarations for the interactive UI components including object interfaces and parameter types. Check out the following examples to learn how you can use types with Flowbite. Additionally to our code above, we will now import some relevant types from the Flowbite package, namely the `ModalOptions` and `ModalInterface`: ```javascript import { Modal } from 'flowbite' import type { ModalOptions, ModalInterface } from 'flowbite' // other code ``` Generally speaking, all of the components have an interface definition that you can use whenever you create a new object to make sure that you're using the correct types of parameters and methods. When creating a new modal you can set the `ModalInterface` as the main type: ```javascript const modal: ModalInterface = new Modal($modalElement, modalOptions); ``` Flowbite also supports type definitions for the options object so if you want to set the placement of the modal based on types, here's how you would do that: ```javascript const modalOptions: ModalOptions = { placement: 'top-right' } const modal: ModalInterface = new Modal($modalElement, modalOptions); ``` Learn more about Flowbite and TypeScript in the [quickstart guide](https://flowbite.com/docs/getting-started/typescript/). ### RTL support All of the Flowbite UI components have native RTL support and you can easily set it up by using the `dir="rtl"` attribute on the HTML element.
