Installation

Install and configure Next.js.

Create project

Start by creating a new Next.js project using create-next-app:

npx create-next-app@latest my-app --typescript --tailwind --eslint

Run the CLI

Run the shadcn-ui init command to setup your project:

npx shadcn-ui@latest init

Configure components.json

You will be asked a few questions to configure components.json:

Which style would you like to use? › Default
Which color would you like to use as base color? › Slate
Do you want to use CSS variables for colors? › no / yes

Fonts

I use Inter as the default font. Inter is not required. You can replace it with any other font.

Here's how I configure Inter for Next.js:

1. Import the font in the root layout:

import "@/styles/globals.css";
import { Inter as FontSans } from "next/font/google";
 
import { cn } from "../@/lib/utils";
 
export const fontSans = FontSans({
  subsets: ["latin"],
  variable: "--font-sans",
});
 
export default function RootLayout({ children }: RootLayoutProps) {
  return (
    <html lang="en" suppressHydrationWarning>
      <head />
      <body
        className={cn(
          "min-h-screen bg-background font-sans antialiased",
          fontSans.variable
        )}
      >
        ...
      </body>
    </html>
  );
}

2. Configure theme.extend.fontFamily in tailwind.config.js

const { fontFamily } = require("tailwindcss/defaultTheme");
 
/** @type {import('tailwindcss').Config} */
module.exports = {
  darkMode: ["class"],
  content: ["app/**/*.{ts,tsx}", "components/**/*.{ts,tsx}"],
  theme: {
    extend: {
      fontFamily: {
        sans: ["var(--font-sans)", ...fontFamily.sans],
      },
    },
  },
};
