What problem does it solve?

Automates the initial Tailwind v4 + shadcn/ui theming workflow, ensuring consistent CSS variables, proper dark mode handling, and a clean component styling baseline across React projects.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automates the four-step CSS variable theming pattern (root definitions, mapping via @theme inline, base layer application, and automatic dark mode support).
  • Sets up dark mode, semantic color mapping, and a ready-to-ship theming foundation for shadcn/ui components.
  • Use cases include starting new React projects with a robust theming foundation or migrating existing projects to a semantic, theme-driven color system.

Quick Start

Initialize Tailwind v4 + shadcn/ui theming in your React project.

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up Tailwind v4 theming with shadcn/ui in a React project?

To set up Tailwind v4 theming with shadcn/ui, you need to map CSS variables via @theme inline, apply base layer styles, and integrate a theme provider. This ensures semantic color mapping and automatic dark mode support across your components.

What is the best way to migrate an existing React project to Tailwind v4 semantic colors?

Migrating to Tailwind v4 semantic colors involves defining root CSS variables and mapping them through @theme inline. This approach transitions your project to a theme-driven color system with proper dark mode handling for shadcn/ui components.

Does shadcn/ui dark mode work automatically with Tailwind v4?

Yes, shadcn/ui dark mode works automatically with Tailwind v4 when you map semantic color variables via @theme inline and integrate a theme provider. This configuration ensures dark mode is operable without manual toggling logic.

Do I need Vite to use Tailwind v4 theme variables with shadcn/ui?

A modern React + Vite workflow is required to properly configure Tailwind v4 theme variables with shadcn/ui. Vite ensures dependencies are installed correctly and CSS variables are mapped efficiently for dark mode and semantic color application.

Why does my shadcn/ui theming not work after upgrading to Tailwind v4?

Your shadcn/ui theming may not work because CSS variables are not mapped via @theme inline. Tailwind v4 requires this specific four-step pattern: root definitions, inline mapping, base layer application, and dark mode support to function correctly.

Can I use tailwind-theme-builder for initializing a new React project's theming foundation?

Yes, you can use it for new project initialization to establish a robust theming foundation. It automates setting up semantic color variables, dark mode, and theme provider integration for shadcn/ui components from the start.
