components.json

Configuration for your project.

The components.json file holds configuration for your project.

We use it to understand how your project is set up and how to generate components customized for your project.

You can create a components.json file in your project by running the following command:

	npx shadcn-svelte@latest init

See the CLI section for more information.

$schema

components.json
	{
  "$schema": "https://shadcn-svelte.com/schema.json"
}

  "style": "default" | "new-york"
