Theming

The component is styled using tailwind. It can be customized using the className and buttonText props, or using Tailwind CSS theme variables. You can find more details and full examples in the customization doc.

In addition, the hooks documented for each component can be used if you’d like to use Nile Auth with your own components. If needed, you can peek at the source code of the component and use it as a template to create your own component for maximum customization.
