Mastering Interactive Web UI Components – Project Setup for Web UI Components Build!

🔥 Welcome to Part 8 of the Mastering Interactive Web UI Components series! Now that we’ve covered key layout systems like Flexbox and Grid, it’s time to begin the practical component development phase. In this episode, we’ll set up the dedicated Web UI Components project, ensuring everything is structured and ready for building reusable, scalable, and interactive components.

We’ll configure the base project using Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, and ShadCN UI, giving us the perfect foundation for real-world UI development.

✅ What You’ll Learn in This Video:

✔️ Creating a new Next.js app with TypeScript for component development
✔️ Installing and configuring Tailwind CSS for rapid styling
✔️ Setting up ShadCN UI and Radix for headless, accessible components
✔️ Organizing project folders: /components, /ui, /lib, and /styles
✔️ Preparing global styles, fonts, and a layout wrapper for consistent design

💡 Why This Step Matters:

🔹 Establishes a professional-grade dev environment for UI work
🔹 Saves time and effort with scalable project structure and reusable setups
🔹 Ensures you’re ready to build complex, interactive UI components efficiently
