module.exports = {
  content: [
    'node_modules/flowbite-vue/**/*.{js,jsx,ts,tsx,vue}',
    'node_modules/flowbite/**/*.{js,jsx,ts,tsx}'
  ],
  plugins: [
      require('flowbite/plugin')
  ],
  theme: {}
}
module.exports = {
  content: [
    'node_modules/flowbite-vue/**/*.{js,jsx,ts,tsx,vue}',

  ],
  plugins: [
      require('flowbite/plugin')

  theme: {}
}
  1. Import Flowbite Vue styles:
javascript
//in your `main.js` file
import '../node_modules/flowbite-vue/dist/index.css'
//in your `main.js` file
import '../node_modules/flowbite-vue/dist/index.css'
css
/* or in your `app.css` file */
@import '/node_modules/flowbite-vue/dist/index.css';

      <fwb-list-group-item>Item #1</fwb-list-group-item>
      <fwb-list-group-item>Item #2</fwb-list-group-item>
      <fwb-list-group-item>Item #3</fwb-list-group-item>

    <fwb-list-group>
      <fwb-list-group-item>Item #1</fwb-list-group-item>
      <fwb-list-group-item>Item #2</fwb-list-group-item>
