The Rise of “Copy-Paste” UI

Traditional component libraries (MUI, Bootstrap) give you a black box. You import <Button /> and hope the API supports your use case. If not, you’re fighting !important wars in CSS.

The Shadcn Approach

shadcn-svelte isn’t a library. It’s a collection of reusable components that you copy and paste into your apps.

Benefits

  1. Full Control: The code lives in your project. You can change anything.
  2. Tailwind CSS: Styled with standard Tailwind classes.
  3. Accessibility: Built on top of headless primitives (bits-ui) ensuring weird edge cases are handled.

Getting Started

Is as simple as:

npx shadcn-svelte@latest init
npx shadcn-svelte@latest add button
