About
About Shadcn UI Expansions
Built with TypeScript and Tailwind CSS, the project provides useful components like Autosize Textarea, Floating Label Input, Infinite Scroll, Loading Button, Multiple Selector, Datetime Picker, Responsive Modal, and Typewriter effect that complement shadcn/ui's core components. Following shadcn/ui's copy-paste philosophy, all components are free for personal and commercial use with full code ownership—simply copy the code into your project and customize to your needs.
The MIT-licensed library is maintained by Hsuan Yi Chou with contributions from the community, offering live demos at shadcnui-expansions.typeart.cc where developers can preview components before integration. Perfect for projects that need specialized functionality beyond shadcn/ui's base components, Shadcn UI Expansions fills common gaps with well-designed, accessible components that maintain consistency with the shadcn design system while adding frequently requested features like datetime selection, infinite scrolling, and advanced input types.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know before you ship with Shadcn UI Expansions.
Shadcn UI Expansions is an open-source collection of additional components built on top of shadcn/ui, extending the library with specialized UI elements for React and Next.js applications. It is an open source template in the shadcn.io collection of 215.
Shadcn UI Expansions is made by Hsuanyi chou, an independent developer; shadcn.io lists it but did not make it. Hsuanyi chou has 1 template in the collection, and the author's page lists them.
The listing tags Shadcn UI Expansions with Next.js, React and Tailwind. Those are its categories, not a dependency list: the exact packages and versions are in the repository's package.json.
Yes. The Shadcn UI Expansions page embeds its live demo from shadcnui-expansions.typeart.cc, and links to it so you can open the real deployment before you clone.
The Shadcn UI Expansions listing was last updated on October 8, 2025. That date is the listing's, not the repository's: check the repository's commits for recent activity.
Clone the repository (git clone https://github.com/hsuanyi-chou/shadcn-ui-expansions), then follow the README. The Shadcn UI Expansions page shows the usual steps and a terminal block with the commands to copy.
Install dependencies with npm install or pnpm install, then run npm run dev. The README in the Shadcn UI Expansions repository says which package manager and environment variables it needs.
No. Shadcn UI Expansions is cloned from its own GitHub repository, so shadcn.io isn't involved. Browsing the page and its live demo need no account either; Pro adds the premium templates, the blocks and the MCP server.
Shadcn UI Expansions is tagged Next.js, so it deploys wherever a Next.js app does, such as Vercel, a Node.js server or a container. Its README may add steps for its own services.
The Shadcn UI Expansions listing doesn't record a license. Check the LICENSE file in its repository (https://github.com/hsuanyi-chou/shadcn-ui-expansions), and ask the author if there isn't one.
That depends on Shadcn UI Expansions's license in its repository, which shadcn.io does not set. Read the LICENSE file before you use it in a client or paid project, and ask the author if it is unclear.
Attribution follows Shadcn UI Expansions's license. Many permissive licenses ask you to keep the copyright notice and license text in your copy; its LICENSE file says exactly what.
No. The Pro license covers shadcn.io's own Pro code, blocks and premium templates. Shadcn UI Expansions is the author's project, under the terms in its repository.
Hsuanyi chou supports Shadcn UI Expansions, through its GitHub repository: read the docs, open an issue or look for discussions. shadcn.io does not maintain it.
Yes. Once you clone it, Shadcn UI Expansions is your own code: change the theme, add pages and connect your backend. It uses shadcn/ui, so you can also add more components the same way.
Yes. Components are free with a free account and the blocks are in Pro; both are copied into your project with the shadcn CLI. Check that Shadcn UI Expansions uses Tailwind CSS and the shadcn/ui setup (a components.json) before you add them, and pick the base library your project already uses.
Yes, with Pro. The shadcn.io MCP server's search_templates tool finds templates by what they are, and returns each one's repository and live demo, so your editor can set up Shadcn UI Expansions for you. Your files stay on your machine.
The collection has 151 other open source Next.js templates like Shadcn UI Expansions, shown at the foot of its page with the ones sharing most categories first. All of them are at /template/category/nextjs.
Hsuanyi chou has no other templates in the collection.
