Components
Manual Installation

Manual Installation

Add dependencies to your project manually.

Add Tailwind CSS

Components are styled using Tailwind CSS. You need to install Tailwind CSS in your project.

Follow the Tailwind CSS installation instructions to get started.

Run the CLI

Initialize Plate in your project using the CLI:

npx shadcx@latest init plate

It should look like this:

import type { Config } from "tailwindcss";
 
const config: Config = {
    darkMode: ["class"],
    content: [
    "./src/pages/**/*.{js,ts,jsx,tsx,mdx}",
    "./src/components/**/*.{js,ts,jsx,tsx,mdx}",
    "./src/app/**/*.{js,ts,jsx,tsx,mdx}",
  ],
  theme: {
  	extend: {
  		colors: {
  			background: 'hsl(var(--background))',
  			foreground: 'hsl(var(--foreground))',
  			card: {
  				DEFAULT: 'hsl(var(--card))',
  				foreground: 'hsl(var(--card-foreground))'
  			},
  			popover: {
  				DEFAULT: 'hsl(var(--popover))',
  				foreground: 'hsl(var(--popover-foreground))'
  			},
  			primary: {
  				DEFAULT: 'hsl(var(--primary))',
  				foreground: 'hsl(var(--primary-foreground))'
  			},

  				foreground: 'hsl(var(--muted-foreground))'
  			},
  			accent: {
  				DEFAULT: 'hsl(var(--accent))',
  				foreground: 'hsl(var(--accent-foreground))'
  			},
  			destructive: {
  				DEFAULT: 'hsl(var(--destructive))',
  				foreground: 'hsl(var(--destructive-foreground))'
  			},
  			border: 'hsl(var(--border))',
  			input: 'hsl(var(--input))',
  			ring: 'hsl(var(--ring))',
  			chart: {
  				'1': 'hsl(var(--chart-1))',
  				'2': 'hsl(var(--chart-2))',
  				'3': 'hsl(var(--chart-3))',
  				'4': 'hsl(var(--chart-4))',
  				'5': 'hsl(var(--chart-5))'
  			},
  			brand: {
  				DEFAULT: 'hsl(var(--brand))',
  				foreground: 'hsl(var(--brand-foreground))'
  			},
  			highlight: {
  				DEFAULT: 'hsl(var(--highlight))',
  				foreground: 'hsl(var(--highlight-foreground))'
  			}
  		},
  		borderRadius: {
  			lg: 'var(--radius)',
  			md: 'calc(var(--radius) - 2px)',
  			sm: 'calc(var(--radius) - 4px)'
  		}
  	}

If your project is not supported by the CLI, create components.json at the root of your project, then run again the init command:

{
  "$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"
    }
  }
}

Add components

You can now start adding components to components/plate-ui:

npx shadcx@latest add -r plate

Add editor (optional)

Choose your editor to get started (browse available editors).

Minimal Editor

npx shadcx@latest add plate/editor-basic

AI Editor

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.
