## What it is
shadcn/ui is a collection of beautifully designed, accessible React UI components distributed as source code you copy into your project rather than install as a dependency. It includes a CLI for adding components and supports frameworks like Next.js, Vite, Laravel, and TanStack with Tailwind CSS and Radix/Base UI primitives.

## Use cases
- build a react app with accessible ui components
- create a custom component library for my team
- add a dialog or dropdown to my nextjs app
- style forms and tables with tailwind css
- set up a design system without a component dependency
- scaffold a new nextjs project with ui components

## When to choose
- you want full ownership and customization of component source code
- you use react with tailwind css and want accessible, well-designed components
- you are building a design system on top of radix or base ui primitives

## When to avoid
- you need framework-agnostic components outside react
- you prefer installing components as a versioned npm dependency with upstream updates
- your project does not use tailwind css

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: ui-components, css-framework, frontend-framework, cli
- domain: web-development, frontend, developer-tools
