*NOTE:* Next.js just introduced version 14.2 overnight and it is broken. Instead of installing "latest", for now, I recommend version 14.1.4. Modify the install line you see in the tutorial by replacing "latest" with 14.1.4: npx create-next-app@14.1.4 my-app --typescript --tailwind --eslint

[@sweatypotato248]

Thankyou

[@p4programing452]

Thanks

[@AyushmaansinghxX]

Thanks! I was stuck since this morning with a build error in the new version.

[@DaveGrayTeachesCode]

@@AyushmaansinghxX Yes I wasted some time on it myself.

[@p4programing452]

I was stucked i was trying to reinstall many time

[@FalioV]

For the past year for me became like a ritual to watch you early in the weekends (since I have no time trough out of the week :D). And you always give me something new to look at or another point of view that is priceless. Thank you for your work and keep it up ! :)

[@kumargupta7149]

Thanks for it! Dave. More on other library as well

[@togya4]

Combining shadcn ui & daysi ui is just 🔥🔥👌🏿

[@AndreaBarghigiani]

Hi Dave, great video as usual and thank you for publishing so much quality content. You know what could be a great idea for the next video? A course where you teach us how to leverage the ShadCN UI library by building our own library. I've been wrapping my head around the replication of the amazing CLI that this library provide us. It could be great to have the ability to install our own components with our own CLI tool 😅

[@chouaibdjerdi9092]

Loved the video I think we need to see more videos about ShadcnUI on KZbin

[@DaveGrayTeachesCode]

There are so many good components here. I can do more in the future too 🚀

[@TravinskiyVladislav]

❤ thank you Dave, again. Like always

[@bnssoftware3292]

Love your style. Subscribed.

[@DaveGrayTeachesCode]

Welcome aboard!

[@samadams4751]

Thank you very much Coach Dave, Shadcn Amazing anther great tutorial. Big hugs coach, love it🙏

[@DaveGrayTeachesCode]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@MouseCodes]

Can we get an advanced guide on design systems and component libraries where you address topics like testing, storybook and playwright?

[@johnforeverrules]

thanks a lot dave

[@hakuna_matata_hakuna]

parkui bettre and more cohesive and cross framework , try showing sonner toast nside a dialog in shadcn

[@rajfekar1514]

Please explain shadcn datatable with search ,filter with drizzle or prima or api data

[@riccardopellegrino5447]

Hi @DaveGrayTeachesCode, super interesting content! I have a question: If you just need to give styling to the components, would you keep this approach of creating a new component which uses the shad component inside? Or would you override the shad component with new variants? (or edit current variants?)

[@DaveGrayTeachesCode]

If you only needed a button, you would just override anything you wanted to change about the button. If you want to add additional features, then you would create your own component.

[@piotrszymanski8325]

Great vid, but i think that everybody who is looking for this type of content, already knows how to create a component made from others component and use it as a whole and it would be nice to show how to handle passing all the props like onChange, value etc... to that custom component which will be forwarded to initial text input - this is more usefull i think.

[@DaveGrayTeachesCode]

That could make a good follow up. I have discovered as a teacher, I cannot assume everyone already knows how to do anything though.

[@shubhamupadhyay3174]

I just completed django so can you please make a project with django and react

[@BrajagopalMukherjee]

Hi Dave ,started with Shadcn ui ,Can we expect Reactjs revised tutotial ?any full stack project as u have covered Backend also (me also from your help)?

[@DaveGrayTeachesCode]

I am about due to create another React full course.

[@aymenbachiri-yh2hd]

THank you

[@DaveGrayTeachesCode]

You're welcome!

[@nasarullahkhan3379]

In react 19 forwardRef will not work. But Shadcn used forwardRef about in all components.

[@dreamecho100]

Wait, I thought it will be *not needed*, not it will be removed completely, at least for now

[@piotrszymanski8325]

Sure, u right, but making components in react seems like obvious. The follow up would be highly appreciated. :)

[@saitulasi4592]

Sir , why haven't you added angular tutorial?

[@DaveGrayTeachesCode]

There is only so much time in a given day or week. I create free content for KZbin but I also have a full-time job and other obligations.

[@creatorsremose]

It essentially IS a component library with extra steps... meaning that if there's a new version that introduces important features or improvements, good luck upgrading. Seems like a weird hype to me.

[@DaveGrayTeachesCode]

YMMV but many find it very useful.

[@herway1875]

👍🏻

[@DanteMishima]

Shadcn.... Yeah, I'm never using it.

[@Joseph-Codes]

The video title is clickbait what the title says and what he did doesn't align

[@DaveGrayTeachesCode]

Disagree. I highlighted the fact that the shadcn docs say it is to be used as a reference to build your own component library. The title also says ShadCN UI for Beginners and I cover how to get started well. I also show how to build a custom component using a ShadCN component. You need to build your own component library from there.
