title: registry.json
description: Schema for running your own component registry.
---
The `registry.json` schema is used to define your custom component registry.
```json title="registry.json" showLineNumbers
{
"$schema": "https://ui.shadcn.com/schema/registry.json",
"name": "shadcn",
"homepage": "https://ui.shadcn.com",
"items": [
{
"name": "hello-world",
"type": "registry:block",
"title": "Hello World",
"description": "A simple hello world component.",
"registryDependencies": [
"button",
"@acme/input-form",
"https://example.com/r/foo"
],
"dependencies": ["is-even@3.0.0", "motion"],
"files": [
{
"path": "registry/default/hello-world/hello-world.tsx",
"type": "registry:component"
}
]
}
]
}
```
You can also organize a large registry across multiple `registry.json` files
using `include`.

```json title="registry.json" showLineNumbers
{
"$schema": "https://ui.shadcn.com/schema/registry.json",
"name": "acme",
"homepage": "https://acme.com",
"include": [
"components/ui/registry.json",
"hooks/registry.json"
]
}
```
Public GitHub repositories use the same source registry format. The CLI reads
the root `registry.json`, resolves `include`, and installs files from the
repository. See the [GitHub registry](/docs/registry/github) docs for more
information.
## Definitions
You can see the JSON Schema for `registry.json` [here](https://ui.shadcn.com/schema/registry.json).
### $schema
The `$schema` property is used to specify the schema for the `registry.json` file.
```json title="registry.json" showLineNumbers
{
"$schema": "https://ui.shadcn.com/schema/registry.json"
}
```
### name
The `name` property is used to specify the name of your registry. This is used for data attributes and other metadata.
```json title="registry.json" showLineNumbers
{
"name": "acme"
}
```
### homepage
The homepage of your registry. This is used for data attributes and other metadata.
```json title="registry.json" showLineNumbers
{
"homepage": "https://acme.com"
}
```
### include
The `include` property is used to compose a registry from other `registry.json`
files.
{/* prettier-ignore */}
```json title="registry.json" showLineNumbers
{
"include": [
"components/ui/registry.json",
"hooks/registry.json"
]
}
```
Each include path must be a relative path to an explicit `registry.json` file.
Folder shorthand is not supported.
{/* prettier-ignore */}
```json title="registry.json" showLineNumbers
{
"include": [
"components/ui/registry.json"
]
}
```
Included `registry.json` files may omit `name` and `homepage`. These fields are
required only on the root `registry.json`.
```json title="components/ui/registry.json" showLineNumbers
{
"$schema": "https://ui.shadcn.com/schema/registry.json",
"items": [
{
"name": "button",
"type": "registry:ui",
"files": [
{
"path": "button.tsx",
"type": "registry:ui"
}
]
}
]
}
```
When `shadcn build` resolves includes, item file paths are read relative to the
`registry.json` file that declares the item. The generated registry output is
flattened and does not contain `include`.
Registry item names must be unique across the resolved registry, including all
included files.
### items
The `items` in your registry. Each item must implement the [registry-item schema specification](https://ui.shadcn.com/schema/registry-item.json).
```json title="registry.json" showLineNumbers
{
"items": [
{
"name": "hello-world",
"type": "registry:block",
"title": "Hello World",
"description": "A simple hello world component.",
"registryDependencies": [
"button",
"@acme/input-form",
"https://example.com/r/foo"
],
"dependencies": ["is-even@3.0.0", "motion"],
"files": [
{
"path": "registry/default/hello-world/hello-world.tsx",
"type": "registry:component"
}
]
}
]
}
```
The root `registry.json` must define at least one of `items` or `include`. If
`items` is omitted, it defaults to an empty array.
See the [registry-item schema documentation](/docs/registry/registry-item-json) for more information.
