I’m trying to customize the Flowbite inline datepicker using Tailwind CSS in a pure HTML environment, but most of the styles I apply are not taking effect.
Here is my current setup:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
\<meta charset="UTF-8"\> \<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"\> \<title\>Inline DatePicker\</title\> \<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@tailwindcss/browser@4"\>\</script\> \<link href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/dist/flowbite.min.css" rel="stylesheet" /\></head>
<body class="min-h-screen flex items-center justify-center">
\<div id="datepicker-inline0" inline-datepicker data-date="02/25/2024"\>\</div\> \<div id="datepicker-inline1" inline-datepicker data-date="02/25/2024" class="px-2 \[&\_button:hover\]:bg-gray-600 \[&\_button\]:rounded-xl \[&\_span.block:hover\]:rounded-full \[&\_span.block:hover\]:text-gray-600 \[&\_span.block:hover\]:bg-gray-400 \[&\_span.block\]:rounded-xl \[&\_.datepicker\]:bg-gray-400 \[&\_.datepicker\]:rounded-xl "\> \</div\> \<div id="datepicker-inline" inline-datepicker data-date="02/25/2024" class="px-2 \[&\_button:hover\]:bg-gray-600 \[&\_button\]:rounded-xl \[&\_span.block\]:text-gray-200 \[&\_span.block:hover\]:rounded-full \[&\_span.block:hover\]:text-gray-600 \[&\_span.block:hover\]:bg-gray-400 \[&\_span.block\]:rounded-xl \[&\_.datepicker\]:bg-gray-500 \[&\_.datepicker\]:rounded-xl "\> \</div\> \<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/dist/flowbite.min.js"\>\</script\></body>
</html>
Problems I’m facing
I’m unable to customize the following:
Default Flowbite styles do not fully load in pure HTML + Tailwind CDN
Cannot remove the default border of the datepicker
Selected date background color does not change
Date text color does not change
Previous / Next month dates colors cannot be customized
My Question
What is the correct way to customize the Flowbite datepicker’s styles?
Specifically:
Does Flowbite expose official class names for days, selected days, and other-month days?
Should this be done with custom CSS instead of Tailwind utilities?
Is there a recommended way to theme the datepicker?
Any guidance or documentation would be very helpful.
