Measured entry
hextaui-badge
A compact React badge for labels, counts, and status indicators, shipped as a shadcn registry TypeScript component. It uses Tailwind theme classes and class-variance-authority for its visual variants, Radix Slot for rendering through a child element, and a local cn class-merging utility.

What the harness recorded
BARE BUILD
✗ Build failed in 52.56s error during build: [vite:load-fallback] Could not load <sandbox>/src/lib/utils (imported by src/cut/components/ui/badge.tsx): ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '<sandbox>/src/lib/utils'
Verdict
A sensible, focused badge for an existing shadcn-style codebase. It builds, mounts, and checks cleanly in the prepared harness, but it needs a shadcn-style setup because the bare project cannot resolve the local utility import.
Use it if
- You need a small inline label with default, secondary, destructive, and outline treatments.
- Your design system already uses shadcn conventions, Tailwind theme tokens, and a cn utility.
- You want the badge to render as a link or another child element while retaining its styling.
Skip it if
- Your project does not use Tailwind or shadcn-style theme tokens and you do not want to translate the styles.
- You need interactive status controls rather than a presentational label.
- You want a dependency-free badge without Radix Slot or class-variance-authority.
Install
| Declared dependencies | @radix-ui/react-slot |
|---|---|
| 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 Radix Slot and class-variance-authority, provide a cn class-merging utility or replace that call, configure the local import alias, and define the referenced Tailwind color and focus tokens.
