shadcn/ui Expert

Comprehensive guide for building production UIs with shadcn/ui, Tailwind CSS, react-hook-form, and zod.

Core Concepts

shadcn/ui is not a component library — it's a collection of copy-paste components built on Radix UI primitives. You own the code. Components are added to your project, not installed as dependencies.

Installation

# Initialize shadcn/ui in a Next.js project
npx shadcn@latest init
