## Introduction

21st.dev is an open-source community registry dedicated to React UI components, offering a vibrant marketplace for design engineers. Inspired by the popular shadcn/ui, this platform enables users to publish, discover, and install a vast collection of minimal, modern, and reusable React components, all powered by Tailwind CSS and Radix UI. With over 4,800 stars on GitHub, 21st.dev is rapidly becoming a go-to resource for streamlining UI development.

## Installation

Installing components from 21st.dev is designed to be quick and straightforward. Once you find a component you like on the platform, you can easily add it to your project using the `npx shadcn` command. This method ensures all necessary files, dependencies, and Tailwind theme extensions are correctly integrated into your project.

bash
npx shadcn@latest add "https://21st.dev/r/shadcn/accordion"


## Examples

While 21st.dev hosts a wide array of React UI components, the platform also empowers developers to contribute their own creations. Publishing a component is a streamlined process, typically taking just a minute. Components undergo a review process, moving from `on_review` to `posted` and potentially to `featured` status, ensuring high-quality contributions adhere to visual design, code structure, theming, and accessibility standards. The recommended file structure for components is as follows:


your-component/
??? code.tsx
??? tailwind.config.js
??? globals.css
??? demos/
    ??? default/
    ?   ??? code.demo.tsx
    ?   ??? preview.png
    ?   ??? video.mp4
    ??? advanced/
        ??? code.demo.tsx
        ??? preview.png
        ??? video.mp4
