FAQPage Schema
How do I build accessible React components with Tailwind CSS?

To build accessible React components with Tailwind CSS, you use the shadcn/ui workflow to copy and integrate component code directly into your project. This approach leverages Radix UI primitives to ensure your interfaces meet accessibility standards while remaining fully customizable.

How do I set up React Hook Form with Zod validation in my UI components?

You can set up React Hook Form with Zod validation by following the component patterns provided for advanced form creation. This allows you to quickly scaffold accessible forms with robust schema validation directly within your React project directory.

Does shadcn/ui work with my existing React and Tailwind CSS project?

Yes, shadcn/ui works with your existing React and Tailwind CSS project by initializing the library and installing individual components directly into your codebase. You need dependencies like tailwindcss-animate, class-variance-authority, and lucide-react to support the component styles and animations.

What is the best way to customize accessible UI components for a specific design system?

The best way to customize accessible UI components for a specific design system is using an approach where you own the component code, like shadcn/ui. Because the code is installed directly into your project directory, you can modify styles and logic directly to fit your exact design requirements.

Why use Radix UI primitives instead of a traditional component library for React interfaces?

Using Radix UI primitives instead of a traditional component library gives you complete customization control over your React interfaces. You own the component code directly, allowing you to modify styles and logic without fighting restrictive overrides, while maintaining built-in accessibility standards.

Do I need to install class-variance-authority and tailwind-merge to use these UI components?

Yes, you need to install class-variance-authority and tailwind-merge as they are core dependencies required to manage component variants and merge Tailwind CSS classes. Additional dependencies like tailwindcss-animate and lucide-react are also necessary for animations and icons.
