FAQPage Schema
How do I set up Tailwind CSS and shadcn/ui for a Next.js 16 App Router project?▼

Set up Tailwind CSS and shadcn/ui by running an automation script that detects existing installations, installs dependencies non-interactively, generates components.json, applies configuration templates, adds core shadcn components, and updates your app layout with ThemeProvider and Toaster integration.

Can I automate Tailwind and shadcn/ui configuration with dark mode support?▼

Yes. The automation installs Tailwind (v3 or v4 forward-compatible) and shadcn/ui with built-in dark mode tooling, design tokens, accessibility defaults, and a mode toggle component so dark mode is configured and ready to use immediately.

What does a complete Tailwind and shadcn/ui setup include for Next.js?▼

A complete setup includes Tailwind and shadcn configuration files, a base layout with AppShell and ThemeProvider, example components (forms, dialogs, theme showcases), design tokens, WCAG-friendly accessibility defaults, and optional example pages demonstrating patterns.

Do I need to manually configure PostCSS and global CSS for Tailwind in Next.js?▼

No. The automation generates and applies PostCSS and global CSS templates with design tokens pre-configured, eliminating manual setup steps for Tailwind integration in your Next.js project.

What if I already have Tailwind or shadcn/ui installed in my Next.js project?▼

The automation detects existing Tailwind and shadcn/ui installations and skips redundant steps, so you can run it safely without reinstalling or overwriting your current configuration.

How does this setup ensure accessibility compliance in my Next.js UI components?▼

The setup applies WCAG-friendly accessibility defaults through design tokens, base components with semantic HTML, and accessibility-first examples, establishing a foundation for accessible shadcn/ui component usage across your project.
