Building Contact Form in React with DaisyUI and Tailwind CSS

Introduction:

In today’s digital age, a well-designed contact page can make all the difference in how users perceive your website or business. In this tutorial, we’ll walk you through the process of creating a sleek and responsive contact page in React using DaisyUI and Tailwind CSS. We’ll cover everything from setting up the project to styling the page components and adding essential contact information and a contact form.

Prerequisites:

Before we dive into the code, make sure you have Node.js and npm (Node Package Manager) installed on your machine. If not, you can download and install them from Node.js official website.

Setting Up the Project:

1. Create a new React project or use an existing one.

2. Install the required dependencies:
   npm install react-icons daisyui tailwindcss

3. Set up your Tailwind CSS configuration. If you’re using Create React App, you can follow these instructions.

4. import plugins to tailwind.config.js
   

/** tailwind.config.js */
/** @type {import('tailwindcss').Config} */
export default {
  content: ["./index.html", "./src/**/*.{js,ts,jsx,tsx}"],
  theme: {
    extend: {},
  },
  plugins: [require("daisyui")],
};

Creating the Contact Component:

Now, let’s create the Contact component that will display our contact page.

import React from "react";
import { FaMapSigns } from "react-icons/fa";
import { BsFillTelephoneFill, BsGlobeAmericas } from "react-icons/bs";
import { FaPaperPlane } from "react-icons/fa";
const Contact = () => {
  const formTab = [{ name: "" }, { name: "" }, { name: "" }, { name: "" }];
  const contactTab = [
    {
      icon: <FaMapSigns className="text-4xl" />,
      title: "Address",
      desription: `198 West 21th Street, Suite 721 New York NY 10016`,
    },
    {
      icon: <BsFillTelephoneFill className="text-4xl" />,
      title: "Contact Number",
      desription: `+ 1235 2355 98`,
    },
    {
      icon: <FaPaperPlane className="text-4xl" />,
      title: "Email Address",
      desription: `[e-mail]`,
    },
    {
      icon: <BsGlobeAmericas className="text-4xl" />,
      title: "Website",
      desription: "yoursite.com",
    },
  ];
  return (
    <>

        {" "}
