Measured entry
8bitcn-timeline1
A copied React and TypeScript registry block that renders a vertical dashed-line timeline from configurable steps, with optional badges. It relies on Tailwind theme utilities, the cn helper, retro CSS that imports Press Start 2P from Google Fonts, an 8bit badge wrapper, the base shadcn badge, and class-variance-authority.

What the harness recorded
BARE BUILD
✗ Build failed in 988ms error during build: [vite]: Rollup failed to resolve import "class-variance-authority" from "<sandbox>re-6ea93b547eb9/src/components/ui/8bit/badge.tsx".
Verdict
The package does not build as supplied because its included badge wrapper imports a base UI badge that is absent. Treat it as a repairable source block, not a drop-in component: it needs a shadcn-style setup and the missing badge installed before evaluation or release.
Use it if
- You want an editable retro timeline whose labels, icons, descriptions, and optional badges come from props.
- Your app already has shadcn conventions and you can install or supply the missing base badge.
- An externally loaded pixel font and theme-token-based Tailwind styling fit your product constraints.
Skip it if
- You need a registry item that builds and mounts without repairing internal component imports.
- Your project does not use shadcn path aliases, theme tokens, or the cn helper.
- Your content security policy or offline requirements prohibit the Google Fonts import.
- You need verified accessibility or responsive behavior, since the build failure prevented runtime checks.
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 |
A non-shadcn project must add compatible path aliases, a cn utility, Tailwind theme tokens and utilities, class-variance-authority, and a base badge at the expected import path. It must also include the retro stylesheet and permit or replace its Google Fonts request.
