Step-by-Step Fix
Install shadcn/ui
v0 generates components using shadcn/ui. Run 'npx shadcn-ui@latest init' in your project if you haven't already.
Add required components
v0 shows which shadcn/ui components are used. Install each one: 'npx shadcn-ui@latest add button card input' etc.
Check import paths
v0 uses '@/components/ui/' paths. Make sure your tsconfig.json has the '@/' path alias configured correctly.
Copy the full component
Make sure you copy all the code from v0, including utility functions and type definitions that may be at the bottom of the output.
Match React/Next.js versions
v0 generates code for the latest React and Next.js. If you're on an older version, some features may not be available.
Frequently Asked Questions
v0 optimizes for Next.js, but most components work in any React project. Some features like 'use server' require Next.js.
