Use with Next.js - Flowbite React
Learn how to install Flowbite React for your Next.js project and start developing with the most popular React-based framework built by Vercel
This guide provides three ways to integrate Flowbite React with Next.js:
- Quick Start: Create a new project with everything pre-configured
- Add to Existing Project: Add Flowbite React to an existing Next.js project
- 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 Next.js project with Flowbite React, Tailwind CSS, and all necessary configurations:
npx create-flowbite-react@latest -t nextjs
This will:
- Create a new Next.js 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 Next.js 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 Next.js project:
When prompted:
- Would you like to use Tailwind CSS? » Yes
npx create-next-app@latest
2. 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
- Configure Vite to include Flowbite React plugin
3. Configure Dark Mode (Optional)#
To avoid page flicker in dark mode before hydration, add the ThemeModeScript to your root layout:
For App Router:
// app/layout.tsx
import { ThemeModeScript } from "flowbite-react";
export default function RootLayout({ children }) {
return (
<html suppressHydrationWarning>
<head>
<ThemeModeScript />
</head>
<body>{children}</body>
</html>
);
}
For Pages Router:
// pages/_document.tsx
import { ThemeModeScript } from "flowbite-react";
export default function Document() {
return (
<Html suppressHydrationWarning>
<Head>
<ThemeModeScript />
</Head>
<body>
<Main />
<NextScript />
</body>
</Html>
);
}
Try it out#
Now that you have successfully installed Flowbite React you can start using the components from the library:
// app/page.tsx
import { Button } from "flowbite-react";
export default function Page() {
return <Button>Click me</Button>;
}
