Building Modern UI with Shadcn UI

Shadcn UI is a collection of re-usable components built with Radix UI and Tailwind CSS. It's not a component library, but rather a collection of components that you can copy and paste into your apps.

What Makes Shadcn UI Special?

• Copy and Paste: Components are copied into your project, not installed
• Fully Customizable: Since components are in your codebase, you can modify them as needed
• Accessible: Built on Radix UI primitives for accessibility
• Beautiful: Designed with attention to detail

Getting Started

To add Shadcn UI to your project:

npx shadcn@latest init

Then add components as needed:

npx shadcn@latest add button
npx shadcn@latest add card

Best Practices

• Customize components to match your design system
• Use the provided variants and extend them as needed
• Keep components in sync with your design tokens

Conclusion

Shadcn UI provides a great foundation for building modern, accessible user interfaces. Start using it in your next project!
