Measured entry

hextaui-command-menu

cardminimal-flat

A client-side React command-menu dialog shipped as a shadcn registry component. It composes Radix Dialog and Visually Hidden with HextaUI's keyboard-key and scroll-area components, Lucide icons, a Tailwind class merger, and theme-token utility classes. It includes menu state and keyboard navigation, but not command filtering.

BARE BUILD

✗ Build failed in 697ms

Verdict

A workable visual shell for a React command palette, with clean mounting and a useful composition API. Treat it as a starting point, not a finished command system: filtering is absent, item indices require careful assignment, and the document-wide keyboard handling needs hardening for complex pages.

Use it if

  • You need a modal launcher with grouped actions, shortcuts, and a scrollable list.
  • Your React app already uses Tailwind theme tokens and can adopt local registry components.
  • You plan to supply item callbacks and implement filtering around the exposed input state.

Skip it if

  • You need search to filter commands out of the box; typing only updates internal state.
  • You need robust menu semantics and active-item announcements without adding them yourself.
  • Your page may host multiple command menus, since keyboard navigation queries command items across the whole document.
  • You want a small dependency footprint or a framework-neutral component.

In a non-shadcn project, add React, Tailwind CSS with the referenced color and focus theme tokens, Radix Dialog, Visually Hidden, and Scroll Area, Lucide React, clsx, and tailwind-merge. Provide local cn, keyboard-key, and scroll-area components, then replace the registry import aliases with paths your build resolves.
