shadcnUI provides A set of beautifully designed components that you can customize, extend, and build on. Start here then make it your own. Open Source. Open Code.

This is what shadcn/ui aims to solve. It is built around the following principles:

  • Open Code: The top layer of your component code is open for modification.

  • Composition: Every component uses a common, composable interface, making them predictable.

  • Distribution: A flat-file schema and command-line tool make it easy to distribute components.

  • Beautiful Defaults: Carefully chosen default styles, so you get great design out-of-the-box.

  • AI-Ready: Open code for LLMs to read, understand, and improve.

Installation:

pnpm dlx shadcn@latest init

Add component:

pnpm dlx shadcn@latest add button

Built by shadcn at Vercel. The source code is available on GitHub.
