Beyond npm: How Direct Integration is Changing UI Libraries
Briefly

In recent years, a shift has emerged in how developers use UI libraries, moving away from installing entire component libraries through npm packages and towards directly embedding component code into projects.
This trend, largely popularized by Shadcn/UI, enables developers to copy customizable, ready-made components straight into their codebase for maximum flexibility.
Instead of overwhelming the library's API with endless configuration options, this approach allows developers to leverage the composable and declarative nature of modern frontend frameworks, enabling greater control over every part of the component.
Ultimately, the primary goal of modern UI frameworks is to enable us to write code that is straightforward and easy to understand. There's no need to compromise that clarity with complex, restrictive APIs.
