Question 8

Can I use all these Shadcn libraries at the same time in one project?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can use components from multiple Shadcn UI libraries in the same project. Most of these libraries provide copy-paste components, so you can pick the components you need from different libraries and customize them to match your project. However, it’s a good idea to keep your design system consistent and avoid adding unnecessary dependencies or duplicate components.

Question 9

If I remove the NPX or NPM package from my project, will all my existing code from the library be removed?

Accepted Answer

No, normally your existing code will not be removed. Many Shadcn-based libraries use a copy-and-paste approach rather than installing the entire component library as an NPM package. Once you copy a component into your project, the component code becomes part of your own codebase, so you can modify it independently.

Question 10

Are these Shadcn libraries free to use?

Accepted Answer

Many Shadcn UI libraries offer free and open-source components, while some also provide premium components, templates, or additional features. Always check the individual library's license and usage terms before using components in a commercial project.

Question 11
