How to use shadcn/ui in my React project?
shadcn/ui lets you copy accessible React components directly into your project. Start by running the CLI installer, which sets up Tailwind CSS v4 and path aliases. Then use the CLI to add individual components—shadcn/ui copies the source code into your project rather than installing as a package dependency, giving you full control over customization and styling.
What is shadcn/ui and how does it differ from other libraries?
shadcn/ui is a collection of accessible, customizable React components built on Radix UI and Tailwind CSS. Unlike traditional component libraries, shadcn/ui uses a copy-paste approach—you own the component code in your project. This means you can modify components freely, avoid vendor lock-in, and maintain full TypeScript support without external package dependencies for individual components.
How do I set up and configure shadcn/ui?
shadcn/ui setup requires Tailwind CSS v4 and path aliases configured in your project. Run the official CLI installer, which automatically handles configuration. The installer sets up your `components.json` file, configures your Tailwind paths, and prepares your project structure. After setup, you can add components via CLI commands and customize them to match your design system.
Can shadcn/ui components be themed and customized?
Yes—shadcn/ui components are fully customizable. Since you copy component code into your project, you can modify styling, behavior, and appearance directly. shadcn/ui supports theming through Tailwind CSS, including dark mode support. You can adjust colors, spacing, typography, and component logic to fit your design requirements without waiting for library updates.
What shadcn/ui components are available and where's the documentation?
shadcn/ui provides a growing collection of components including buttons, forms, dialogs, dropdowns, tables, and more—all built on Radix UI primitives. Browse the full component library and examples on the official shadcn/ui website. Each component includes interactive examples, source code, and accessibility details. Documentation covers installation, setup, customization, and best practices for TypeScript projects.
Does shadcn/ui support dark mode and accessibility?
shadcn/ui components are built on Radix UI, ensuring strong accessibility foundations with ARIA attributes and keyboard navigation. Dark mode is supported through Tailwind CSS class-based theming—configure it in your Tailwind config and toggle the dark class on your root element. Since you control the component code, you can further customize accessibility and theming to meet your project's specific requirements.
