Component Library
Pre-built, reusable UI components (buttons, modals, forms) you drop into your app instead of building from scratch.
The Full Picture
Component libraries like shadcn/ui, Radix, Chakra UI, and DaisyUI provide ready-made, accessible UI components. shadcn/ui has become the vibe coding favorite because it copies components directly into your project (not a dependency) and uses Tailwind — making it easy for AI to modify. When vibe coding, using a component library means the AI spends time on your business logic instead of reinventing buttons and modals.
