Measured entry
8bitcn-faq3
A client-side, searchable FAQ block with optional categories, single-open accordions, custom content, and an arcade-style font treatment. It ships as copied React source plus retro CSS and wraps shadcn accordion and input components, using Radix Accordion, class-variance-authority, a cn utility, Tailwind classes, and project path aliases.

What the harness recorded
BARE BUILD
✗ Build failed in 1.18s error during build: [vite]: Rollup failed to resolve import "class-variance-authority" from "<sandbox>re-69c6d3059257/src/components/ui/8bit/input.tsx".
Verdict
Do not publish this as a passing component. The verified build fails because the copied wrapper imports a missing base shadcn accordion module, so it never mounts. The bare version also lacks the expected cn utility. It needs a shadcn-style setup and should be avoided by teams seeking a self-contained block.
Use it if
- You already use shadcn and want a searchable, categorized FAQ section.
- Your product intentionally uses a retro arcade visual language.
- You want editable source and will supply your own FAQ data through props.
Skip it if
- You need a drop-in component for a plain React project with no shadcn foundation.
- Your design system does not suit the bundled pixel font and heavy retro borders.
- You require a verified build before adopting a component.
- You cannot load the externally imported Google Font or replace it locally.
Install
| Declared dependencies | radix-ui, clsx, tailwind-merge |
|---|---|
| Missing on install | none |
| Bare install | fails once the shadcn-style helpers are removed, so it needs that setup |
| Provider | no provider required in the harness |
In a non-shadcn project, add the configured path alias, a cn helper, Tailwind theme tokens and accordion animations, base shadcn accordion and input components, Radix Accordion, class-variance-authority, and the retro stylesheet. Keep the font import or replace it with a local font policy.
