scaffold-ui

What problem does it solve?

Building a polished frontend scaffold from scratch takes time and causes inconsistency, especially when you need both a UI framework setup and a design system that can be themed quickly.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Instant Next.js + shadcn/ui frontend scaffolding: Creates a ready-to-run web/ app using Next.js (App Router), TypeScript, Tailwind, and a curated set of shadcn/ui components (layout + UI building blocks).
• Prebuilt app shell with real navigation patterns: Includes dashboard layout structure with sidebar + navbar wrappers, plus auth page layouts (centered card style with no sidebar/navbar).
• Theme system with 9 built-in themes and optional AI custom theme: Supports multiple dark/light themes out of the box, and can inject an AI-generated custom theme into globals.css with font pairing and Google Fonts wiring.
• Secure FastAPI API client + OpenAPI-to-TypeScript workflow: Adds a typed API fetch helper for cookie-based auth and a script to generate TypeScript types from FastAPI OpenAPI.

Quick Start

Tell the AI: scaffold-ui a Next.js + shadcn/ui frontend into the project directory at /path/to/project with the default theme.
