About these scores

OSS scale score is an unbounded metric that log-compresses and weights Stars, Watchers, Forks, and Contributors. Discovery score is the current OSS scale score minus the score at discovery. Update pace is commits in the last 30 days, growth momentum is the OSS scale score difference within the recent observation window, and OSS health is a 0–100 rating based on available recency, Community Health, and release data.

Overview

shadcn-vue 2.8.2 is a Vue port of shadcn/ui built around an open-code model: the CLI adds component source to your project so teams can own and customize the implementation rather than depending on a black-box runtime component package.

Features and best fit

Based on official documentation; not hands-on tested · Content checked:

Key features

Add component source directly to a project with the CLI

shadcn-vue add installs the selected component source and required dependencies into the application, where the generated code can be edited directly.

Sources: [2][1]

Bootstrap Vue projects and design-system choices with create or init

The CLI can create Nuxt, Vite, or Vite + Vue Router projects and configure Tailwind CSS plus base, style, icon, font, and color choices.

Sources: [2]

Resolve registry items from public GitHub repositories

Version 2.8.2 adds CLI support for resolving registry items from public GitHub repositories, extending component distribution beyond the standard registry.

Sources: [4]

Best fit

Fits teams that want full control over component markup, styling, and behavior

It is useful when a product wants to own its design-system implementation instead of staying coupled to a packaged UI library's public API.

Sources: [1]

Before adoption

Generated source becomes application-owned, so upgrades require source-level review

Because components are copied into the project, upstream changes are not applied through a simple package upgrade and should be compared against local modifications.

Sources: [1][2]

Version 2.8.2 migrates Drawer to Reka UI and Data Table to TanStack Table v9

The release includes a breaking Drawer migration to Reka UI and a Data Table migration to TanStack Table v9, which matter most for projects that already generated those components.

Supplemental curator note

shadcn-vue is not primarily a runtime component package that stays behind an import boundary. Its CLI adds component source to your project, so upgrades require reviewing changes against locally owned code.

Try it in 3 steps

  1. 1

    Install pinned shadcn-vue CLI 2.8.2

    Install the reviewed CLI in an isolated npm project without modifying an existing application.

    demo=$(mktemp -d "${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/shadcn-vue.XXXXXX") && cd "$demo" && npm init -y >/dev/null && npm install --save-dev --save-exact shadcn-vue@2.8.2
  2. 2

    Verify the CLI package version

    Require the installed CLI to match the reviewed release.

    test "$(node -e "console.log(require('shadcn-vue/package.json').version)")" = '2.8.2'
  3. 3

    Check the CLI command surface

    Verify the CLI starts without running create, init, or add against a real project.

    npx shadcn-vue --help >/dev/null
