AsterUI

A comprehensive React component library built with DaisyUI and Tailwind CSS.

Demo

View the documentation at: https://asterui.com

Quick Start

The fastest way to get started is with create-asterui, which sets up a new project with Vite, Tailwind CSS v4, DaisyUI v5, and AsterUI pre-configured:

npm create asterui@latest
# or
pnpm create asterui@latest
# or
yarn create asterui

The CLI will guide you through interactive prompts to configure:

• Language - TypeScript (recommended) or JavaScript
• Themes - Light/Dark, Business/Corporate, all themes, or custom selection
• Package manager - npm, pnpm, or yarn (auto-detected)
• Optional components - Chart, QRCode, VirtualList (adds required peer dependencies)

Then start the dev server:

cd my-app
npm run dev

Manual Installation

To add AsterUI to an existing project, you'll need Tailwind CSS v4 and DaisyUI v5.

1. Install dependencies

npm install asterui
npm install -D tailwindcss @tailwindcss/vite daisyui

2. Configure Vite

Add the Tailwind plugin to your vite.config.ts:

import { defineConfig } from 'vite'
import react from '@vitejs/plugin-react'
import tailwindcss from '@tailwindcss/vite'

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [react(), tailwindcss()],
})

3. Configure CSS

Update your CSS file (e.g., src/index.css):

@import "tailwindcss";
@plugin "daisyui";
@source "../node_modules/asterui";

The @source directive tells Tailwind to scan the AsterUI package for classes to include in your build.

Usage

import { Form, Input, Checkbox, Button, Modal, Card, Space, Flex, Typography } from 'asterui'

const { Link, Paragraph } = Typography

export default function App() {
  const handleSubmit = (values: { email: string; password: string; remember: boolean }) => {
    Modal.success({
      title: 'Login Successful',
      content: <pre className="text-left">{JSON.stringify(values, null, 2)}</pre>,
    })
  }

  return (
    <Flex justify="center" align="center" minHeight="screen" className="bg-base-200 p-4">
      <Card title="Sign In" className="w-full max-w-md">
        <Form onFinish={handleSubmit} initialValues={{ remember: false }}>
        <Form.Item name="email" label="Email" rules={[{ required: true }, { type: 'email' }]}>
          <Input placeholder="[email protected]" />
        </Form.Item>
        <Form.Item
          name="password"
          label="Password"
          rules={[
            { required: true },
            { min: 8, message: 'Password must be at least 8 characters' },
            { pattern: /[A-Z]/, message: 'Must contain an uppercase letter' },
            { pattern: /[a-z]/, message: 'Must contain a lowercase letter' },
            { pattern: /[0-9]/, message: 'Must contain a number' },
            { pattern: /[!@#$%^&*.?]/, message: 'Must contain a special character' },
          ]}
        >
          <Input type="password" placeholder="Enter your password" />
        </Form.Item>
