Overview
Flowbite is a component library built on top of Tailwind CSS that provides a comprehensive set of UI components, sections, and pages. It includes interactive elements powered by a vanilla JavaScript plugin, with framework-specific adapters for React, Vue, Svelte, and Angular.
Flowbite offers both free and pro components, with the open-source library covering common UI patterns like navbars, modals, dropdowns, carousels, and forms. The pro version adds marketing sections, application UI components, and e-commerce patterns. A Figma design system is available for designer-developer alignment.
When to Use
Flowbite is the right choice when you need a large set of pre-built Tailwind components that work across frameworks, when you want a Figma design system alongside code components, or when rapidly prototyping applications with Tailwind CSS.
