Alert Component — Frequently Asked Questions
How is Shadcn/UI different from other UI libraries?

Do I need to install Shadcn/UI as a package?
No, Shadcn/UI components are copied directly into your codebase. You only need Tailwind CSS and the specific Radix UI primitives each component uses.
Can I use Shadcn/UI with Next.js?
Yes, Shadcn/UI works perfectly with Next.js App Router and Pages Router, React, Vite, and any React-based framework.
How do I customize Shadcn/UI components?
Since components live in your codebase, you can modify them directly. Change styles, add props, or alter behavior. Use CSS variables for theme customization.
Are Shadcn/UI components accessible?
