This branch is for **CakePHP 5.2+**. See [version map](https://github.com/dereuromark/cakephp-tailwind-ui/wiki#cakephp-version-map) for details.

Tailwind CSS / DaisyUI view helpers for CakePHP 5.2+.
Drop-in replacement for Bootstrap-styled helpers — outputs Tailwind/DaisyUI markup instead.

This plugin is the Tailwind equivalent of [bootstrap-ui](https://github.com/FriendsOfCake/bootstrap-ui).

Preview
-------

[](#preview)

`$this->Form->control()`, `$this->Paginator->links()`, `$this->Flash->render()`, and `$this->Html->badge()` rendered with the default DaisyUI preset:

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer require dereuromark/cakephp-tailwind-ui
```

Load the plugin:

```
bin/cake plugin load TailwindUi
```

Quick Start
-----------

[](#quick-start)

In your `AppView::initialize()`:

```
use TailwindUi\View\UiViewTrait;

class AppView extends View
{
    use UiViewTrait;

    public function initialize(): void
    {
        parent::initialize();
        $this->initializeUi();
    }
}
```

All `$this->Form->control()`, `$this->Paginator->links()`, `$this->Flash->render()`, and `$this->Breadcrumbs->render()` calls now output DaisyUI-styled markup.

Class Map
---------

[](#class-map)

The plugin uses a configurable class map. DaisyUI is the default. To switch to KTUI (Metronic):

```
// In config/bootstrap.php or Application::bootstrap()
Configure::write('TailwindUi.classMap', 'ktui');
```

Partial overrides:

```
Configure::write('TailwindUi.classMap', [
    'form.input' => 'my-custom-input-class',
]);
```

-------
