Measured entry

8bitcn-combo-box

cardskeuomorphism

A retro, pixel-edged combo box distributed as a shadcn registry item. Its payload supplies themed button and popover wrappers plus a font stylesheet, while expecting the base shadcn button, popover, and command primitives, path aliases, a utility helper, Tailwind theme tokens, React, Radix, and class-variance-authority.

What the harness recorded

BARE BUILD

✗ Build failed in 815ms
error during build:
[vite]: Rollup failed to resolve import "class-variance-authority" from "<sandbox>re-4e408d2d1db4/src/cut/components/ui/8bit/button.tsx".

Verdict

Skip the registry item in its current form. It does not build because the themed wrapper imports a base button that is absent at the expected path, so mounting and accessibility could not be verified. It needs a shadcn-style setup and corrected dependency resolution. Teams seeking a drop-in component should avoid it for now.

Use it if

  • Your app already has shadcn button, popover, and command primitives and you want a retro selector that matches the library.
  • You are comfortable owning copied component source and loading or replacing its external retro font.

Skip it if

  • You need a registry item that builds as fetched; the published payload currently leaves its base button import unresolved.
  • Your project does not use shadcn conventions, Tailwind theme tokens, or the @ path alias and you do not want to recreate them.
  • Your content security or privacy policy forbids loading fonts from Google.
  • You need a verified mounted or accessible implementation, since the build failure prevented those checks.

In a non-shadcn project, add compatible button, popover, and command primitives; provide the @ alias and cn utility; configure the Tailwind theme classes used by the wrappers; install the required React, Radix, and variant packages; and include or replace the retro font stylesheet.
