The CLI supports various frameworks like React, Next.js, Remix, Vue, and even Laravel, making it a versatile tool for developers across different ecosystems.
- The new CLI allows developers to install components directly into their projects, eliminating the need for manual dependency management and configuration.
- Shad CN now supports a component registry, enabling developers to share and distribute their own components.
- The video demonstrates how the CLI can be used to create new projects, add components to existing projects, and even generate code based on prompts.
Shad CN CLI: The Future of Installing Things
This chapter introduces the new Shad CN CLI, a powerful tool that simplifies the process of adding components, themes, hooks, functions, animations, and generated code to your projects. The CLI eliminates the need for manual dependency management and configuration, making it easier than ever to integrate Shad CN components into your codebase. The video highlights the benefits of using the CLI, including its ability to install components directly, manage dependencies, and even generate code based on prompts.
Shad CN CLI: Framework Support
This chapter focuses on the expanded framework support of the Shad CN CLI. It now supports all major React frameworks, including Next.js, Remix, Vue, and even Laravel. This means that developers using these frameworks can now easily integrate Shad CN components into their projects. The video emphasizes the significance of this update, as it allows developers to leverage Shad CN's powerful UI components across a wider range of frameworks.
Shad CN CLI: Component Registry
This chapter introduces the new component registry feature in Shad CN. This registry allows developers to share and distribute their own components, making it easier for others to reuse and build upon existing work. The video highlights the potential of this feature, particularly for private components that can be accessed only through a VPN. This allows companies to maintain control over their design libraries and ensure consistency across projects.
Shad CN CLI: Improved Init Command
This chapter focuses on the improvements made to the init command in the Shad CN CLI. The init command is used to initialize a new Shad CN project, and the video highlights how the command has been made more reliable and user-friendly. The video also mentions the change in the default import path from @/ to ~/, reflecting a preference for a more native JavaScript syntax.
Shad CN CLI: Code Generation and Onboarding
This chapter explores the potential of the Shad CN CLI for code generation and onboarding. The video envisions a future where developers can use the CLI to add pre-built components like login forms, authentication systems, and other common features to their projects. This would streamline the development process and make it easier for developers to get started with new projects. The video also highlights the potential for the CLI to replace traditional documentation with a more interactive and intuitive approach.
Shad CN CLI: Understanding Code Changes
This chapter emphasizes the importance of understanding code changes when using the Shad CN CLI. The video encourages developers to review the diff (the changes made to the codebase) after running a command. This allows developers to see exactly what has been added, modified, or removed, providing a clear understanding of the impact of the command. The video also suggests that developers should start with the pull request tab when exploring a new codebase, as it provides valuable insights into the evolution of the code.
Shad CN CLI: Improved Diffing Experience
This chapter focuses on the improved diffing experience provided by the Shad CN CLI. The video highlights the addition of syntax highlighting and line numbers to the diff output, making it easier for developers to review code changes. The video also mentions the availability of tools like lazy.git for diffing, but notes that they lack syntax highlighting.
Shad CN CLI: The Future of Installing Things
This chapter concludes the video by highlighting the exciting future of installing things with the Shad CN CLI. The video showcases examples of how the CLI can be used to create complex applications with minimal code, such as a Minecraft clone written primarily with AI assistance. The video emphasizes the potential of the CLI to significantly improve developer workflows and make it easier to build powerful applications.
