Configure components.json
Create components.json at the root of your project, then add the following:
{
"$schema": "https://ui.shadcn.com/schema.json",
"style": "default",
"rsc": true,
"tsx": true,
"aliases": {
"components": "@/components",
"hooks": "@/hooks",
"lib": "@/lib",
"ui": "@/components/ui",
"utils": "@/lib/utils"
},
"tailwind": {
"baseColor": "slate",
"config": "tailwind.config.ts",
"css": "src/app/globals.css",
"cssVariables": true,
"prefix": ""
},
"registries": {
"plate": {
"aliases": {
"ui": "@/components/plate-ui"
},
"url": "https://platejs.org/r"
}
}
}
Adjust the values as needed.
That's it
You can now start adding components to your project:
npx shadcx@latest add -r plate
Add editor (optional)
Choose your editor to get started (browse available editors).
npx shadcx@latest add plate/editor-basic
npx shadcx@latest add plate/editor-ai
This will add a page in app/editor
along with all necessary components in components/plate-ui
as a starting point.
