Tailwind CSS and DaisyUI component development guide for Next.js with strict TypeScript and Biome tooling.
What is tailwind css nextjs guide?
This rule provides comprehensive guidance for building reusable, accessible components in Next.js using Tailwind CSS and DaisyUI. It covers TypeScript best practices, responsive design patterns, Next.js routing and data fetching, and enforces code quality standards through Biome linting and formatting.
- Generate component requirements with specific DaisyUI suggestions and Tailwind utility classes
- Enforce strict TypeScript configuration with type guards, mapped types, and discriminated unions
- Structure Next.js projects with organized folders (components, pages, hooks, utils, services) and dynamic routing patterns
- Implement responsive design using Tailwind variants and optimize images with next/image
- Configure and enforce Biome for code formatting, linting, and pre-commit hooks
- Provide accessibility considerations, error handling, loading states, and performance optimization guidance

Rule definition (reference)
Source of truth, from the repository.
Prompt Generation Rules:
- Analyze the component requirements thoroughly
- Include specific DaisyUI component suggestions
- Specify desired Tailwind CSS classes for styling
- Mention any required TypeScript types or interfaces
- Include instructions for responsive design
- Suggest appropriate Next.js features if applicable
- Specify any necessary state management or hooks
- Include accessibility considerations
- Mention any required icons or assets
- Suggest error handling and loading states
- Include instructions for animations or transitions if needed
- Specify any required API integrations or data fetching
- Mention performance optimization techniques if applicable
- Include instructions for testing the component
- Suggest documentation requirements for the component
General Component Creation Guidelines:
- Prioritize reusability and modularity
- Ensure consistent naming conventions
- Follow React best practices and patterns
- Implement proper prop validation
- Consider internationalization requirements
- Optimize for SEO when applicable
- Ensure compatibility with different browsers and devices
General Rules:
- Enable strict TypeScript (strict: true in tsconfig.json)
- Avoid 'any', prefer 'unknown' with runtime checks
- Explicitly type function inputs and outputs
- Use advanced TypeScript features (type guards, mapped types, conditional types)
- Organize project structure: components, pages, hooks, utils, styles, contracts, services
- Separate concerns: presentational components, business logic, side effects
- Use Biome for code formatting and linting
- Configure Biome as a pre-commit hook
Next.js Rules:
- Use dynamic routes with bracket notation ([id].tsx)
- Validate and sanitize route parameters
- Prefer flat, descriptive routes
- Use getServerSideProps for dynamic data, getStaticProps/getStaticPaths for static
- Implement Incremental Static Regeneration (ISR) where appropriate
- Use next/image for optimized images
- Configure image layout, priority, sizes, and srcSet attributes
TypeScript Rules:
- Enable all strict mode options in tsconfig.json
- Explicitly type all variables, parameters, and return values
- Use utility types, mapped types, and conditional types
- Prefer 'interface' for extendable object shapes
- Use 'type' for unions, intersections, and primitive compositions
- Document complex types with JSDoc
- Avoid ambiguous union types, use discriminated unions when necessary
TailwindCSS and DaisyUI Rules:
- Use TailwindCSS utility classes for styling
- Avoid custom CSS unless absolutely necessary
- Maintain consistent order of utility classes
- Use Tailwind's responsive variants for adaptive designs
- Leverage DaisyUI components for rapid development
- Customize DaisyUI components only when necessary
- Define and use design tokens in tailwind.config.js
Starknet React Rules:
- Centralize blockchain connection management
- Implement automatic reconnection and error handling
- Use React hooks for transaction status management
- Provide clear UI feedback for blockchain interactions
- Implement comprehensive error handling for blockchain operations
Cairo Rules:
- Design modular and maintainable contract structures
- Optimize for gas efficiency
- Minimize state changes and storage access
- Document all contracts and functions thoroughly
- Explain complex logic and implementation choices
Development Process:
- Conduct thorough code reviews via Pull Requests
- Include clear PR descriptions with context and screenshots
- Implement comprehensive automated testing (unit, integration, e2e)
- Prioritize meaningful tests over high coverage numbers
- Use Conventional Commits for commit messages (feat:, fix:, docs:, chore:)
- Make small, incremental commits for easier review and debugging
Biome Rules:
- Use Biome for code formatting and linting
- Configure Biome as a pre-commit hook
- Follow Biome's recommended rules
- Customize Biome configuration in biome.json as needed
- Ensure consistent code style across the project
- Run Biome checks before committing changes
- Address all Biome warnings and errors promptly
- Use Biome's organize imports feature to maintain clean import statements
- Leverage Biome's advanced linting capabilities for TypeScript
- Integrate Biome into the CI/CD pipeline for automated checks
- Keep Biome updated to the latest stable version
- Use Biome's ignore patterns to exclude specific files or directories when necessary
