Project description

Wagtail DaisyUI Interface Editor

Create reusable DaisyUI themes through Wagtail and apply them to pages.

Supported versions

This package supports Wagtail 7.0 and up, and all compatible versions of Python and Django.

Installation

Pick the command for your preferred package installer:

uv add wagtail-daisIE
poetry add wagtail-daisIE
pip install wagtail-daisIE

Quick start

1. Add to `INSTALLED_APPS`

# myproject/settings.py
INSTALLED_APPS = [
    ...
    "wagtail_daisIE",
    "colorfield",
    ...
]

2. Run migrations

python manage.py migrate

3. Create a theme

In the Wagtail admin, navigate to Snippets > DaisyUI Themes and create a new theme. Configure:

Name: A unique identifier (e.g. my-theme)
Set as default: Check this to make it the fallback theme
Color scheme: light, dark, or normal
Colors: Primary, secondary, accent, neutral, base surfaces, semantic colors
Border radii: Box, field, selector
Sizes: Field, selector, border width
Effects: Depth (3D) and noise toggle

4. Use the page mixin

Add DaisyUIThemePageMixin to any Wagtail Page model:

from wagtail.models import Page
from wagtail.admin.panels import FieldPanel
from wagtail_daisIE.models import DaisyUIThemePageMixin


class MyPage(DaisyUIThemePageMixin, Page):
    body = RichTextField()

    content_panels = Page.content_panels + [
        FieldPanel("body"),
        FieldPanel("daisyui_theme"),  # Add the theme selector
    ]

This mixin adds:

A daisyui_theme ForeignKey field to DaisyUITheme
Automatic injection of daisyui_theme into the page template context
A get_daisyui_theme() method that returns the selected theme (or the default theme if none is selected)

5. Render the theme in your templates

Load the template tags and render the theme CSS in <head>:

{% load wagtailcore_tags wagtail_daisIE_tags %}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html{% if daisyui_theme %} data-theme="{{ daisyui_theme.name }}"{% endif %}>
    <head>
        ...
        {% daisyui_theme_css daisyui_theme %}
    </head>
    <body>
        {% block content %}{% endblock %}
    </body>
</html>

The {% daisyui_theme_css %} tag outputs an inline <style> block with all DaisyUI CSS custom properties for the theme.

Alternatively, use {% daisyui_theme_inline_css %} to get the raw CSS string for custom placement:

<style>
{% daisyui_theme_inline_css daisyui_theme %}
</style>

6. Load DaisyUI and Tailwind CSS

Add DaisyUI and Tailwind CSS to your base template. For a quick setup, use the CDN:

<link href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/daisyui@5" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@tailwindcss/browser@4"></script>

Or use Django Tailwind CLI:

# settings.py
STATICFILES_DIRS = [BASE_DIR / "assets"]
# Custom CSS paths
TAILWIND_CLI_SRC_CSS = "src/styles/main.css"
TAILWIND_CLI_DIST_CSS = "css/app.css"

# Enable DaisyUI
TAILWIND_CLI_USE_DAISY_UI = True

# Use an already-installed Tailwind binary (e.g. `brew install tailwindcss`)
TAILWIND_CLI_USE_SYSTEM_BINARY = True

# Auto-inject @source directives for editable-installed external apps (opt-in)
TAILWIND_CLI_AUTO_SOURCE_EXTERNAL_APPS = True

Or install via npm and build with your own pipeline:

npm install daisyui @tailwindcss/cli tailwindcss
