Common issues and debugging steps for Creative Tim UI components.

Components appear unstyled

Verify your project has the correct Tailwind CSS configuration for shadcn/ui. Your globals.css file should import Tailwind and include shadcn/ui base styles for proper component rendering.

CLI installation completes but no files appear

Check these common issues:

  • Confirm you're running the command from your project root directory (where package.json is located).
  • Verify your components.json configuration file has the correct settings if you're using shadcn-style setup.
  • Use the latest CLI version to ensure compatibility:
pnpm dlx @creative-tim/ui@latest add card

Theme toggle stuck on light mode

Your application needs to use the same theme system as shadcn/ui. The components expect a data-theme attribute on the <html> element. Check your tailwind.config.js to ensure it's configured with the appropriate class or data selectors for theme switching.

Import errors showing "module not found"

Confirm the component file exists in your project. If it does, check your tsconfig.json has the correct path mapping for the @/ alias:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "baseUrl": ".",
    "paths": {
      "@/*": ["./*"]
    }
  }
}
