I'll fetch that shadcn/ui documentation for you so I can help you understand it and answer any questions you have.

I've got the documentation. Let me break down how to use shadcn/ui with Next.js for you:

Overview of shadcn/ui

shadcn/ui is not a traditional component library that you install via npm. Instead, it's a collection of reusable components that you copy directly into your project. This gives you full control over the code.

Key Concepts

1. Installation Process

Start with the CLI command:

This command:

• Sets up your project configuration
• Creates a components.json file (configuration file)
• Sets up Tailwind CSS with the necessary theme tokens
• Creates utility files like lib/utils.ts

2. Adding Components

Add components individually as needed:

This copies the Button component into your components/ui/ folder. The code is now yours to modify!

3. Using Components

Simply import and use them:

Key Benefits

• ✅ Full ownership - Code lives in your project, not node_modules
• ✅ Customizable - Edit any component directly
• ✅ Tailwind-based - Uses Tailwind CSS for styling
• ✅ Accessible - Built on Radix UI primitives
• ✅ Type-safe - Written in TypeScript
