The components follow accessibility best practices and integrate with Tailwind CSS for styling.

Can I use shadcn/ui with react-hook-form and Zod for form validation?

Yes. shadcn/ui forms work seamlessly with react-hook-form and Zod. This combination enables robust form handling with built-in validation, error handling, and type safety across your Next.js application.

How do I set up dark mode with shadcn/ui components?

shadcn/ui includes dark mode setup patterns for production-ready interfaces. The skill covers theming configuration to enable users to toggle between light and dark modes while maintaining component consistency.
