π£ 1. Wrap your tailwind config and set your themes
In your tailwind config file, wrap your tailwind config with the withSemanticSetup function.
With the semanticSetup property you can setup your themes to be handled automatically.
// tailwind.config.js
const { withSemanticSetup } = require('tailwind-semantic-setup')
module.exports = withSemanticSetup({
/* ... your tailwind config */
semanticSetup: {
themes: [
{
name: 'my-brand',
colors: {
primary: '#e0a82e',
secondary: '#f9d72f',
accent: '#00ffff',
neutral: '#181830',
root: '#ffffff',
},
},
// ... other themes
],
},
})π£ 2. Add the data-theme attribute to your html code
You can put it where you want, but it's recommended to put it in the html tag to make it global accessible for the entire application.
<html data-theme="my-brand">
<!-- ... -->
</html>π£ 3. Use the theme classes
<div class="bg-primary text-primary-content">
<!-- ... -->
</div>π Documentation
π¨ Themes
You can define multiple themes in the semanticSetup property of your tailwind config.
Each theme must have a name and a colors object.
// tailwind.config.js
const { withSemanticSetup } = require('tailwind-semantic-setup')
module.exports = withSemanticSetup({
// ... your tailwind config
semanticSetup: {
themes: [
{
name: 'my-brand',
preferredColorScheme: ['dark', 'light'],
colors: {
primary: '#e0a82e',
secondary: '#f9d72f',
accent: '#00ffff',
neutral: '#181830',
root: '#ffffff',
},
},
// ... other themes
],
},
})π name (required)
The name of the theme. It will be used to generate the classes and the data-theme attribute value.
π preferredColorScheme (optional)
You can set your preferences for the color scheme to be used in the user's browser. It will set color-scheme css property
π colors (required)
Semantic Setup provides you a semantic default setup but you can add your custom colors.
Here you can see the default colors and the ones that are auto-generated for you:
(Required - added by default)
βͺοΈ primary: The main color of your brand
βͺοΈ secondary: The secondary color of your brand
βͺοΈ accent: Color to have high color contrasts and highlight.
βͺοΈ neutral: The neutral color of your brand
βͺοΈ root: The base color of your brand (background color)
βͺοΈ info: The info color of your brand
βͺοΈ warning: The warning color of your brand
βͺοΈ error: The error color of your brand
(Optional - auto-generated for Required colors)
(colorName)-dark: The darker version of the (colorName) color (i.e.primary-dark)(colorName)-content: The readable color to use for text and icons on top of the (colorName) color (i.e.primary-content)root-darkest(just for base color): The darkest version of therootcolor

This approach allows you to have a consistent color palette for your brand with different themes in a very simple way.
The default colors approach is mainly based on daisyui colors palette but adding some other nice features to make it more customizable/extendable for your brand.
π Default Plugins activate / deactivate
By default, all official tailwind plugins are activated.
You can deactivate them individually using the plugins property of the semanticSetup object in your tailwind config file.
Here you can see the default plugins configuration:
// tailwind.config.js
const { withSemanticSetup } = require('tailwind-semantic-setup')
module.exports = withSemanticSetup({
// ... your tailwind config
semanticSetup: {
plugins: {
// @tailwindcss/typography
'typography': true,
// @tailwindcss/forms
'forms': true,
// @tailwindcss/line-clamp
// Deactivated by default because it's part of tailwindcss v3.3.0
'line-clamp': false,
// @tailwindcss/aspect-ratio
'aspect-ratio': true,
},
},
