## Use shadcn/create
<Steps>
### Build Your Preset
Open [shadcn/create](/create?template=start) and build your preset visually. Choose your style, colors, fonts, icons, and more.
<Button asChild size="sm">
<Link
href="/create?template=start"
target="_blank"
rel="noopener noreferrer"
className="mt-6 no-underline!"
>
Open shadcn/create
</Link>
</Button>
### Create Project
Click `Create Project`, choose your package manager, and copy the generated command.
The generated command will look similar to this:
```bash
npx shadcn@latest init --preset [CODE] --template start
```
The exact command will include your selected options such as `--base`, `--monorepo`, or `--rtl`.
### Add Components
Add the `Card` component to your project:
```bash
npx shadcn@latest add card
```
If you created a monorepo, run the command from `apps/web` or specify the workspace from the repo root:
```bash
npx shadcn@latest add card -c apps/web
```
The command above will add the `Card` component to your project. You can then import it like this:
```tsx showLineNumbers title="src/routes/index.tsx"
import { createFileRoute } from "@tanstack/react-router"
import {
Card,
CardContent,
CardDescription,
CardHeader,
CardTitle,
} from "@/components/ui/card"
export const Route = createFileRoute("/")({
component: App,
})
function App() {
return (
<Card className="max-w-sm">
<CardHeader>
<CardTitle>Project Overview</CardTitle>
<CardDescription>
Track progress and recent activity for your TanStack Start app.
</CardDescription>
</CardHeader>
<CardContent>
Your design system is ready. Start building your next component.
</CardContent>
</Card>
)
}
```
If you created a monorepo, update `apps/web/src/routes/index.tsx` and import from `@workspace/ui/components/card` instead.
</Steps>
<div id="scaffold-with-cli" className="scroll-mt-24" />
## Use the CLI
<Steps>
### Create Project
Run the `init` command to scaffold a new TanStack Start project. Follow the prompts to configure your project: base, preset, monorepo, and more.
```bash
npx shadcn@latest init -t start
```
**For a monorepo project, use `--monorepo` flag:**
```bash
npx shadcn@latest init -t start --monorepo
```
### Add Components
Add the `Card` component to your project:
```bash
npx shadcn@latest add card
```
If you created a monorepo, run the command from `apps/web` or specify the workspace from the repo root:
```bash
npx shadcn@latest add card -c apps/web
```
The command above will add the `Card` component to your project. You can then import it like this:
```tsx showLineNumbers title="src/routes/index.tsx"
import { createFileRoute } from "@tanstack/react-router"
import {
Card,
CardContent,
CardDescription,
CardHeader,
CardTitle,
} from "@/components/ui/card"
export const Route = createFileRoute("/")({
component: App,
})
function App() {
return (
<Card className="max-w-sm">
<CardHeader>
<CardTitle>Project Overview</CardTitle>
<CardDescription>
Track progress and recent activity for your TanStack Start app.
</CardDescription>
</CardHeader>
<CardContent>
Your design system is ready. Start building your next component.
</CardContent>
</Card>
)
}
```
If you created a monorepo, update `apps/web/src/routes/index.tsx` and import from `@workspace/ui/components/card` instead.
</Steps>
<div id="existing-start-project" className="scroll-mt-24" />
## Existing Project
<Steps>
### Create Project
If you need a new TanStack Start project, create one first. Otherwise, skip this step.
```bash
npx @tanstack/cli@latest create
```
Choose TanStack Start, the React framework, and the recommended defaults so Tailwind CSS and the `@/*` import alias are configured for you.
<Callout className="mt-6">
Do not add the `shadcn` add-on when prompted. The `shadcn` CLI will configure shadcn/ui later in this guide.
</Callout>
The TanStack CLI already configures Tailwind CSS and the default `@/*` import alias for you. If you're adding shadcn/ui to an older or custom TanStack Start app, make sure both are configured before continuing.
### Run the CLI
Run the `shadcn` init command to set up shadcn/ui in your project.
```bash
npx shadcn@latest init
```
### Add Components
You can now start adding components to your project.
```bash
npx shadcn@latest add button
```
The command above will add the `Button` component to your project. You can then import it like this:
```tsx showLineNumbers title="src/routes/index.tsx"
import { createFileRoute } from "@tanstack/react-router"
import { Button } from "@/components/ui/button"
export const Route = createFileRoute("/")({
component: App,
})
function App() {
return (
<div className="flex min-h-svh items-center justify-center p-6">
<Button>Click me</Button>
</div>
)
}
```
</Steps>
