• Use standalone components — All shadcn-ng components are standalone, import them directly in imports array

import { Component } from "@angular/core";
import { UbButtonDirective } from "~/components/ui/button";

@Component({
  standalone: true,
  imports: [UbButtonDirective],
  // ...
})
export class ExampleComponent {}

• Configure Tailwind CSS — Follow the official installation guide to set up tailwindcss-animate, class-variance-authority, clsx, and tailwind-merge

• Use CSS variables for theming — Define colors in :root in your globals.css for dynamic theming

• Treat components as your own code — Copy components into your project and customize as needed

• Use registry for custom components — Create your own registry.json to share and reuse custom components across projects
