How to install Tailwind CSS and daisyUI in a Lit + Vite project

1. Create a new Vite project

Create a new Vite project in the current directory

import tailwindcss from '@tailwindcss/vite';

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

Put Tailwind CSS and daisyUI in your CSS file (and remove old styles)

@import "tailwindcss";
@plugin "daisyui";

3. Make the CSS available for shadow DOM elements

import { LitElement, html } from "lit";
import { unsafeCSS } from "lit";
import globalStyles from "./index.css?inline";

export class MyElement extends LitElement {
  static styles = [unsafeCSS(globalStyles)];
  render() {
    return html`<button class="btn">daisyUI button</button> `;
  }
}

window.customElements.define("my-element", MyElement);
