ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND: Cannot find module flowbite/plugin

[antonio-ivanovski]

• I have searched the Issues to see if this bug has already been reported
• I have tested the latest version

Steps to reproduce

1. Have ESM Tailwind config (.mjs)
2. Import flowbite-react the new way: import flowbite from 'flowbite-react/tailwind';
3. Add content and plugin

Current behavior

Getting error

}

Node.js v20.11.0

Expected behavior

The config is loaded correctly

Context

The import in the flowbite-react/tailwind for the flowbitePlugin needs to be import flowbitePlugin from 'flowbite/plugin.js';

My current workaround is to do pnpm patch for this import.

Hey @ToTeTo

import { content, plugin } from "flowbite-react/tailwind"

have you tried importing this way? this one works for me in my tailwind.config.ts

Hey @ToTeTo

import { content, plugin } from "flowbite-react/tailwind"

have you tried importing this way? this one works for me in my tailwind.config.ts

Have tried with the latest 0.10.1 version, still same issue. Still resorting to the patch.

Running into the same error on version 0.10.2 - "Cannot find module 'flowbite-react/tailwind' or its corresponding type declarations."

It's just a typescript error and my usage of Flowbite components isn't impacted.

FWIW, I can eliminate the typescript error by updating the tailwind.config.ts like below, which causes CSS styling issues on the flowbite components.

module.exports = {
    content: [
        "./node_modules/flowbite/**/*.js"
    ],
    plugins: [
        require('flowbite/plugin')
    ]
}

@anshul-kai same error here. In my case this resolved both the warnings and styling problems:

/** @type {import('tailwindcss').Config} */
...
import flowbitePlugin from 'flowbite/plugin';
...

export default {
    ...
    content: [
       './node_modules/flowbite-react/dist/esm/**/*.mjs',
    ],
    plugins: [
        flowbitePlugin
    ]
}

[anshul-kai]

Thanks, @hgutierrez. It certainly is another solution for eliminating typescript errors, but I still require custom style overrides.

Using
import * as flowbite from "flowbite-react/tailwind¨;

works for me
target: ES2017 in tsconfig.json
next 15.1.3
react 19.0.0

I was getting this error from prettier and needed to update prettier version to fix this.
