Nika UI

Beautiful, animated React components built with Tailwind CSS and Motion. Install components individually via CLI — you own the code.

Pre-release. The CLI is not yet published. See the master plan for what is being built and in what order.

Quick start

npx nikaui init
npx nikaui add button card dialog

Monorepo structure

Apps

• apps/web — landing page and documentation site (Next.js + Fumadocs)

Packages

• packages/registry — component source; what the CLI copies into your project
• packages/cli — the nikaui CLI
• packages/eslint-config — shared ESLint configuration
• packages/typescript-config — shared TypeScript configuration

Development

Requires Node >= 20 and pnpm 9.

corepack enable
pnpm install

pnpm dev           # all apps in watch mode
pnpm build         # build everything
pnpm lint          # ESLint, zero warnings allowed
pnpm check-types   # tsc --noEmit across the workspace

See CONTRIBUTING.md for the full workflow.
