Tailwind 4 & DaisyUI 5 Support!

[topherfangio]

🥳 With the recent release of Tailwind 4 and DaisyUI 5, we want to provide our strategy and timeline for moving to these new and amazing tools!

Current Status

Right now, all of the existing LocoMotion components have been built on Tailwind 3 and DaisyUI 4.

The main components left to build are the Data Input components (checkboxes, radio buttons, text inputs, etc). We are beginning to build these out and expect to have them ready by end of March or early April.

Because we are so close to having these available, and because all of the other DaisyUI 4 components have been built, we are planning to finish building all of the DaisyUI 4 components before we being working toward the DaisyUI 5 version.

Migration to Tailwind 4 and DaisyUI 5

That being said, we are very excited about the new releases and will absolutely be building towards these in the near future! 🙌

After reviewing the new releases, it doesn't seem like a whole lot should change as far as the classes we are using. There are some new components that will need to be built, and much of the tooling / configuration may need to change, but we are confident that we can knock these out in a timely manner.

Our hope is to have a beta version of LocoMotion with support for Tailwind 4 and DaisyUI 5 ready by end of Summer, 2025.

We will continue to provide updates over the next few months as we get closer to a release! We will likely launch LocoMotion 0.5.0 with support for Tailwind 3 and DaisyUI 4, and then LocoMotion 1.0.0 with support for Tailwind 4 and DaisyUI 5.
