intellij-shadcn-plugin

1.0.0 roadmap

• Add support for Vue typescript option (transpiling TypeScript to JavaScript as well as in *.vue files)
  • See unovue/shadcn-vue#378
• Add support for React/Solid (UI) tsx option (transpiling TypeScript to JavaScript)

Description

Manage your shadcn/ui components in your project. Supports Svelte, React, Vue, and Solid.

This plugin will help you manage your shadcn/ui components through a simple tool window. Add, remove, update them with a single click.
This plugin will only work with an existing components.json (or ui.config.json for Solid UI) file. Manually copied components will not be detected otherwise.

Features

• Automatically detect shadcn/ui components in your project
• Instantly add, remove, update them with a single click
• Refreshes on opening the tool window
• Supports all shadcn/ui implementations: Svelte, React, Vue, and Solid
• Browse available components
• Easily search for remote or existing components
• ...and more!

Planned Features

• Support monorepos with multiple components.json files
• Allow initializing a shadcn/ui implementation within an existing project
• Add/improve support for the horizontal tool window layout

Usage

Simply open the shadcn/ui tool window and start managing your components.
If you don't see the tool window, you can open it from View > Tool Windows > shadcn/ui.
When adding or removing components, the tool window won't refresh automatically yet. You can refresh it by closing and reopening it.

Planned Features

• Add a button to open the docs of a component in the Add component panel
• Initialize the CLI if not existing yet?
• Add diff mechanism to components (remove spaces, \n, \t, \r, etc.?)
• Parse vite.config.(js|ts) (and others like nuxt.config.ts) to resolve aliases as a fallback of tsconfig.json
• Figure out a clean way to refresh the tool window automatically after adding or removing components
• Refresh/recreate the tool window automatically when the project finishes indexing
• Add support for monorepos
