Flowbite is an open-source library of web components built with the utility-first classes from Tailwind CSS. It also includes interactive elements such as dropdowns, modals, datepickers.
Tailwind CSS is a framework that I've been using a lot lately in my web-related projects because of how fast it is to build the pages using the utility-first classes.
One problem that I have encountered, however, is that the framework does not include a basic set of components to get started with. So I had to build them over and over for every project.
But then I found a component library based on Tailwind CSS called Flowbite. It comes with the most commonly used web components, such as buttons, navigation bars, cards, form elements, and more which are conveniently built with the utility classes from Tailwind CSS.
Flowbite - Tailwind CSS component library
Today I want to show you how you can get started with this library and start building websites even faster with Tailwind CSS and the components from Flowbite.
The project is available on Github and it is open source under the MIT License.
First of all you need to understand how Flowbite works. This library is not another framework. Rather, it is a set of components based on Tailwind CSS that you can just copy-paste from the documentation.

It also includes a JavaScript file that enables interactive components, such as modals, dropdowns, and datepickers which you can optionally include into your project via CDN or NPM.
You can check out the quickstart guide to explore the elements by including the CDN files into your project. But if you want to build a project with Flowbite I recommend you to follow the build tools steps so that you can purge and minify the generated CSS.
For a faster configuration we will include everything using a CDN.
Let's start by including the CSS file inside the head tag of your HTML:
