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
