Introduction
junwen-k/ui-x is a set of beautifully designed components that you can copy and paste into your apps based on shadcn/ui. Works with your favorite frameworks and AI models. Open Source. Open Code.
Similar to shadcn/ui, this is not a component library, It is how you build your component library.
junwen-k/ui-x is a thoughtfully crafted extension that provides additional components while maintaining the same principles of being open, composable and customizable.
As junwen-k/ui-x is built as an extension of shadcn/ui, it inherits the core philosophies and approaches. For the foundational concepts, please refer to shadcn/ui's documentation.
Philosophy#
The components in this extension are built around four key principles:
- Intuitive Developer Experience: Each component's API mirrors Base UI conventions and shadcn/ui patterns, creating an intuitive and familiar experience.
- Natural Extension: Components are thoughtfully designed to feel like natural additions to the shadcn/ui ecosystem, maintaining the same level of quality and coherence.
- Open and Customizable: Like shadcn/ui, you have full access to the component code, allowing complete customization to fit your needs.
- AI-Ready: Components are designed to be compatible with AI tools like v0, enabling seamless integration with AI-powered development workflows.
