What problem does it solve?

This guide prevents slow, error-prone UI setup by showing how to correctly install, configure, and implement shadcn/ui components with accessibility-ready patterns.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Installation & Setup: Use the shadcn CLI to initialize a project and add components with their required dependencies, or follow manual setup when needed.
  • Accessible Component Patterns: Implement common UI building blocks (buttons, dialogs, dropdowns/select, sheets, tables, toasts) using Radix UI primitives and consistent Tailwind styling.
  • Real-World Form Development: Build validated forms with React Hook Form and Zod, including full UI wiring for labels, messages, and error handling.
  • Customization & Theming: Configure Tailwind theme extension and CSS variables for light/dark theming and consistent design tokens across the app.

Quick Start

Ask for an implementation plan to set up shadcn/ui in an existing Next.js (App Router) TypeScript + Tailwind project and scaffold Button, Dialog, Select, Table, and a validated form using React Hook Form and Zod.
