# @json-render/shadcn
Pre-built [shadcn/ui](https://ui.shadcn.com/) components for json-render. 36 components built on Radix UI + Tailwind CSS, ready to use with `defineCatalog` and `defineRegistry`.
## Installation
```bash
npm install @json-render/shadcn @json-render/core @json-render/react zod
```
Your app must have Tailwind CSS configured.
## Entry Points
| Entry Point | Exports | Use For |
|-------------|---------|---------|
| `@json-render/shadcn` | `shadcnComponents` | React implementations |
| `@json-render/shadcn/catalog` | `shadcnComponentDefinitions` | Catalog schemas (no React dependency, safe for server) |
## Usage
Pick the components you need from the standard definitions:
```typescript
import { defineCatalog } from "@json-render/core";
import { schema } from "@json-render/react/schema";
import { shadcnComponentDefinitions } from "@json-render/shadcn/catalog";
import { defineRegistry } from "@json-render/react";
import { shadcnComponents } from "@json-render/shadcn";
// Catalog: pick definitions
const catalog = defineCatalog(schema, {
components: {
Card: shadcnComponentDefinitions.Card,
Stack: shadcnComponentDefinitions.Stack,
Heading: shadcnComponentDefinitions.Heading,
Button: shadcnComponentDefinitions.Button,
Input: shadcnComponentDefinitions.Input,
},
actions: {},
});
// Registry: pick matching implementations
const { registry } = defineRegistry(catalog, {
components: {
Card: shadcnComponents.Card,
Stack: shadcnComponents.Stack,
Heading: shadcnComponents.Heading,
Button: shadcnComponents.Button,
Input: shadcnComponents.Input,
},
});
```
State actions (`setState`, `pushState`, `removeState`) are built into the React schema and handled by `ActionProvider` automatically. You don't need to declare them in your catalog.
## Extending with Custom Components
Add custom components alongside standard ones:
```typescript
import { z } from "zod";
const catalog = defineCatalog(schema, {
components: {
// Standard
Card: shadcnComponentDefinitions.Card,
Stack: shadcnComponentDefinitions.Stack,
Button: shadcnComponentDefinitions.Button,
// Custom
Metric: {
props: z.object({
label: z.string(),
value: z.string(),
trend: z.enum(["up", "down", "neutral"]).nullable(),
}),
description: "KPI metric display",
},
},
actions: {},
});
const { registry } = defineRegistry(catalog, {
components: {
Card: shadcnComponents.Card,
Stack: shadcnComponents.Stack,
Button: shadcnComponents.Button,
Metric: ({ props }) => (
{props.label}
{props.value}
),
},
});
```

## Notes
- The `/catalog` entry point has no React dependency -- use it for server-side prompt generation
- Components use Tailwind CSS classes -- your app must have Tailwind configured
- Component implementations use bundled shadcn/ui primitives (not your app's `components/ui/`)
- Form inputs support `checks` for validation (type + message pairs)
- Events: inputs emit `change`/`submit`/`focus`/`blur`; buttons emit `press`; selects emit `change`/`select`
