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

To set up Tailwind v4 with shadcn/ui in Vite and React, you need to configure the build environment, install dependencies, and implement a CSS variable-based theming architecture to ensure component styles compile correctly.

Why does my shadcn/ui theme break after migrating to Tailwind CSS v4?

Your shadcn/ui theme breaks during Tailwind v4 migration due to incorrect theming configurations and v3 migration pitfalls. You can resolve this by applying semantic color variables and updating your CSS architecture to match v4 standards.

Does Tailwind CSS v4 support automatic dark mode for shadcn/ui components?

What is the best way to fix tw-animate-css errors when integrating shadcn/ui?

The best way to fix tw-animate-css errors during shadcn/ui integration is to use a production-ready setup template that addresses common configuration conflicts and automatically resolves dependency mismatches during the Vite build process.

Can I use CSS variables for theming instead of Tailwind config in v4?
