⚡️ Lightning Rails May 2025 Update – Generators, Themes & Form Wizards!
From one-line feature generators to slicker themes and multi-step forms, Lightning Rails just got a serious upgrade.
Hey builders! 🛠️
Time for another Lightning Rails update—and this one’s packed with goodies. We've squashed some config confusion, upgraded our UI vibes, added docs magic, and introduced one-line feature generators that’ll make you feel like a Ruby-powered wizard. 🧙♂️
Let’s dive in 👇
✅ Fix: Removed Tailwind JS Config File
May 28, 2025
This one’s simple but important. If you’ve been scratching your head wondering “Where do I update the Tailwind theme?”—that confusion is now gone.
Since Lightning Rails uses DaisyUI via CDN, the Tailwind JS config file was just clutter. It’s now officially removed. Clean. Minimal.
🔥 Update: DaisyUI v5 is here
May 28, 2025
We just bumped DaisyUI to v5 and it fixes the annoying theme controller issues we had in previous versions.
Now you can:
Add new themes
Update existing themes
Create your own magical unicorn themes 🦄
All without weird workarounds. Just clean, flexible theming out of the box.
📃 New Resource: Multi-Step Form Wizard
May 26, 2025
Ever wanted a typeform-like experience in your app? Now you can build one in Lightning Rails with our shiny new multi-step form wizard.
Perfect for:
Onboarding flows
Surveys & questionnaires
Complex forms that don’t suck
Check the docs and make your forms ✨ delightful ✨
📣 New Feature: Code Generators Are Live!
May 21, 2025
This is the big one. The "wait what?!" kind of feature. You can now add features to your app with one line of code.
I’ve been getting great feedback on the docs lately:
"The documentation is very nice to read! 🙂"

That’s awesome—but I want more than nice. I want fast.
So I built Lightning Rails code generators. 👾
Need transactional emails?
bash generators/setup_resend
Magic links for auth?
bash generators/setup_magic_links.sh
SEO titles and a privacy page?
bash generators/setup.sh
It’s like Rails meets Mario power-ups. 🍄🚀
And this is just the beginning—I'll be shipping generators for every LR feature over the coming weeks. Stay tuned. This is gonna be fun. 🙌
Thanks again for all the feedback and love. Keep building, keep shipping—and if you haven’t already, give these updates a spin in your Lightning Rails app!
Until next time,
– Dani
