shadcn/ui is a collection of accessible, customizable React components built on Radix UI and Tailwind CSS. Components are copied into your project (no npm package); you own and edit the code. Works with Next.js (App Router), Vite, and other React frameworks.
Principles: Open code (AI-ready), composable API, beautiful defaults, distribution via CLI and schema. Requires Tailwind v4 and path alias @/. We do not use tailwind.config.js; theme and setup are CSS-only (@import "tailwindcss" + @theme).
Choose framework (Next.js, Vite, etc.), style (new-york recommended), base color, and CSS variables. Then add components as needed.
Instale y use shadcn/ui con Tailwind v4 y Next.js (App Router), Vite o configuración manual; configure componentes.json, agregue componentes a través de CLI, tematee solo con CSS. Úselo al agregar shadcn/ui, instalar shadcn, usar Button, Card, Dialog, Form u otros componentes de shadcn, o cuando el usuario mencione shadcn, shadcn/ui o Radix UI con Tailwind.
