Every shadcn style · one file
v2.1 · Updated Oct 21pnpm dlx shadcn@latest add @notchset-pro/now-cardpnpm dlx shadcn@latest add @notchset-pro/now-cardNeeds your registry key. Every components.json style gets the same files.
Works with React 18.3 or 19 on Tailwind CSS v4, in any shadcn project. What's tested
The CLI adds the styles to the CSS file named in components.json (tailwind.css). Check that it points at your global stylesheet, that the project uses Tailwind CSS v4, and that the file is imported in your root layout. Installed by hand: paste styles.css into that file.
Import it and pass your content. The props that matter most are listed next.
