shadcn/ui Blocks

What are shadcn/ui Blocks?

Blocks are complete, copy-paste UI sections (dashboards, auth, pricing, etc.) built on shadcn/ui components. They save time vs. assembling primitives yourself.

They’re maintained in the shadcn ecosystem and community registries and can be pulled or copied into your React/Next.js projects.

How do I install and use Blocks quickly?

Use the shadcn CLI or copy code from a Blocks library, then paste into your project and adjust paths per your aliases.

• Initialize or upgrade your project for Tailwind v4 and React 19 using the updated CLI.

• For community registries and quick add flows, see the Registry Index and CLI 3.0 notes.

Where can I find quality shadcn/ui Blocks and templates?

Start with the official Blocks docs, then explore curated third-party registries/templates.

• Official Blocks docs and contribution guide.

• Curated templates, libraries on Tailkits shadcn templates & shadcn/ui components

Tip: Pair Blocks with Tailkits UI components when you need extra patterns or non-shadcn primitives. See our component library.

What’s new in shadcn/ui related to Blocks and Tailwind v4?

Full Tailwind v4 support, React 19 compatibility, a revamped CLI, Registry Index, and “Lift Mode” for copying sub-components.

Key highlights:

• Tailwind v4 + @theme support, OKLCH colors, and simplified types

• CLI 3.0 with namespaced registries and private registries.

• Lift Mode lets you copy smaller parts from a block.

Which use cases do these Blocks cover?

Dashboards, auth flows, pricing, feature grids, FAQs, blog, and marketing pages; ready to paste and style.

Common categories:

• App UI: Dashboards, settings, product lists

• Auth: Sign-in, sign-up, password reset

• Marketing: Hero, features, pricing, testimonials, footers

How do I customize colors, tokens, and theming?

Short answer: Use shadcn styles (e.g., “new-york”) and Tailwind tokens; update your aliases and CSS variables, then tweak components.

• Keep components.json aliases in sync after adding Blocks.

• If a block declares registry dependencies, run the CLI to pull them and avoid broken imports.

What are common pitfalls and how do I avoid them?

Short answer: Mismatched import aliases, missing registry dependencies, and inconsistent Tailwind versions cause most issues.

• Align your project to the current CLI and Tailwind v4.

• When copying from third-party sites, verify license and maintenance status.
