✅ Run init before adding components
✅ Use CSS variables for theming (cssVariables: true)
✅ Configure TypeScript path aliases
components.json aliases✅ Keep components.json in version control
✅ Use Bun for faster installs (recommended)
❌ Don't change style after initialization
❌ Don't mix Radix Vue and Reka UI v2
❌ Don't skip TypeScript configuration
❌ Don't use without Tailwind CSS
Error: Cannot find module '@/components/ui/button'
Solution:
// tsconfig.json
{
"compilerOptions": {
"baseUrl": ".",
"paths": {
"@/*": ["./src/*"]
}
}
}
Error: Components render without styles
Solution:
/* src/assets/index.css */
@import "tailwindcss";
// vite.config.ts (Tailwind v4)
import tailwindcss from '@tailwindcss/vite'
export default defineConfig({
plugins: [vue(), tailwindcss()]
})
Error: Theme colors not applying, gray/transparent components
Solution: Ensure all CSS variables are defined (run init command)
Error: Components look different than expected
Solution: Choose carefully during init (New York or Default) - cannot change later without reinstall
Error: Type conflicts, duplicate components
Solution:
bunx shadcn-vue@latest for Reka UI v2bunx shadcn-vue@radix for legacy Radix VueError: Components installed in wrong directory
Solution: Use -c flag to specify workspace:
bunx shadcn-vue@latest init -c ./apps/web
bunx shadcn-vue@latest add button -c ./apps/web
Error: Import paths broken after editing components.json
Solution: Keep components.json and tsconfig.json aliases in sync. Test imports after any config changes.

shadcn-vue now uses Reka UI v2 (formerly Radix Vue) as its foundation. All new components use Reka UI primitives.
Migration: Existing projects should update to Reka UI v2. See official migration guide: shadcn-vue.com/docs/changelog#reka-ui
shadcn-vue uses components.json to configure:

The @/lib/utils.ts file provides the cn() helper for merging Tailwind classes:
clsx + tailwind-merge for conflict resolutionAuto-generated by shadcn-vue init - no manual setup needed.
