Project Notes

  • Components install to src/ui/ in this project (configured in components.json)
  • Uses @/ path alias for imports
  • Tailwind CSS + CVA (class-variance-authority) for variants
  • All components are fully customizable after installation

Troubleshooting

Component already exists: Use -o flag to overwrite

npx shadcn@latest add -o button

Missing dependencies: The CLI auto-installs peer deps, but if issues occur:

npm install @radix-ui/react-<primitive> class-variance-authority

Path issues: Check components.json for configured paths
