Hi Fam
Demo
SithasoDaisy 2 is currently being maintained using TailwindCSS 3 and DaisyUI 2. When we finished wrapping up the b4x version, the DaisyUI team was working on DaisyUI 3. Currently DaisyUI4 is stable, however, updating our offering to version 4 meant rewriting some of the crucial code that affects the most important components like table and input components. We opted not to, we have learned it was a good decision.
Yes the changelogs were provided, however rewriting, testing and debugging would have proven time consuming. Actually I am glad we waited and did not update. After all SithasoDaisy 2 is still stable and usable, being using it across my development space and yours. We will be releasing some apps based on SithasoDaisy 2 during the course of this year also.
The DaisyUI team is currently working on DaisyUI5, which will be developed using TailwindCSS 4. This brings a lot of new components, speed and other nice important things and also a smaller bundle size. So it makes sense that we also prepare for this move. As of today, 12 January 2025, 90% has been completed by the DaisyUI team and yes, TailwindCSS 4 is still in beta, thus making DaisyUI a beta version.
This brings us to SithasoDaisy5. We have started studying and wrapping the components. This demands a lot of work and time. It is never easy actually wrapping these web components, however it is worth it. We want to bring you the best and this being the most popular b4x component library for web development using BANano.
Why we chose DaisyUI...
Supercharges Tailwind CSS
DaisyUI takes the power of Tailwind and simplifies it with pre-built, customizable components. You get the best of both worlds: the utility-first approach of Tailwind and the rapid prototyping ability of a component library.
Ready-to-Use Components
With DaisyUI, you have access to a wide range of components like buttons, cards, modals, alerts, and more. These are pre-styled, responsive, and look amazing right out of the box.
Themeable by Design
DaisyUI makes theming effortless. Whether you’re building a light or dark mode, or customizing your brand's palette, DaisyUI supports themes with simple, intuitive configuration.
Customizable
Unlike rigid libraries, DaisyUI components are built with Tailwind classes, so you can easily tweak them to fit your exact design needs without fighting against predefined styles.
Developer-Friendly
Its intuitive syntax is easy to learn and integrate, even for teams new to Tailwind CSS. Plus, it's well-documented, making the development process smooth and hassle-free.
Lightweight & Performant
No unnecessary bloat. DaisyUI is lightweight, keeping your bundle sizes in check and your app’s performance top-notch.
Active Community and Regular Updates
Backed by a vibrant community and maintained actively, DaisyUI is always evolving with the latest best practices and features.
Why reinvent the wheel when you can save time, effort, and resources? With DaisyUI, you can build modern, responsive, and stunning web applications faster than ever.
Don’t just take our word for it—try it out today and experience the difference!, https://daisyui.com/
Now, using the b4j abstract designer, you can now enjoy all the DaisyUI functionality using your favorate IDE. You drag and drop components, set up properties and using LoadLayout, are able to see your UI in no time, just the way you designed it.
There is still a long way to go though before we finalize SDV5.
What's New?
1. SithasoDaisy5 is a NEW b4xlib and not an update to SithasoDaisy2.
2. SithasoDaisy5 is NOT backward compatible with SithasoDaisy2.
3. The component names start with SDUI5.
4. This b4xlib cannot be used in Production Apps as yet. Things might change and code cleanups will be done.
5. FontAwesome is no longer used, for icons one should use SVG icon files.
6. Supports both Abstract Designer & Code for building the UI. The abstract designer is a low code mode of creating your UI whilst writing code to create the UI can be cumbersome. To ease this one uses getters and setters. These getters and setters match 99% of the names used in the DaisyUI documentation.
7. Works well with the latest version of BANano i.e. 9+
8. SithasoDaisy5 is OPEN-SOURCE, compared to all the previous versions of SithasoDaisy. All previous versions of SithasoDaisy are commercial products.
Try the Demo (Free Download)
1. Download BANano
2. Download SithasoDaisy5. Copy the b4xlib to your b4j additional libraries folder.
3. Open and run the Demo project.
Have fun!
