About This Project

shadcn/ui reimagines how developers use component libraries by providing production-ready React components that you copy directly into your project rather than installing as a dependency. Built on Radix UI primitives and styled with Tailwind CSS, each component is fully accessible, customizable, and becomes part of your codebase.

Unlike traditional component libraries, you have complete ownership and control. Modify styling, behavior, and structure without fighting against package constraints or waiting for upstream changes. The components follow best practices for accessibility (WCAG compliant) and are designed to work seamlessly with Next.js, Remix, Astro, and other modern React frameworks.

The library includes everything from basic buttons and inputs to complex components like data tables, calendars, and command palettes. Each component is meticulously crafted with attention to detail—from keyboard navigation to focus management—while maintaining a beautiful, modern aesthetic that works out of the box.

Whether you're building a SaaS dashboard, marketing site, or internal tool, shadcn/ui provides the foundation without the bloat. The CLI tool makes initialization and component addition effortless, while the open-source nature ensures transparency and community-driven improvements.
