Measured entry
hextaui-item
A composable React item-row kit for grouped cards, with media, content, actions, separators, headers, and footers. It ships as a shadcn registry TypeScript file styled with Tailwind classes, using Radix Slot and Separator, class-variance-authority, and a cn utility. It needs no provider.

What the harness recorded
BARE BUILD
✗ Build failed in 941ms error during build: [vite]: Rollup failed to resolve import "class-variance-authority" from "<sandbox>re-30be47fa2559/src/cut/components/ui/item.tsx".
Verdict
A practical, flexible row primitive that builds and mounts cleanly without a provider. Adopt it if its composition API fits your design system, but fix the reported ARIA misuse and replace the demo's fixed width before shipping it in responsive production UI.
Use it if
- You need reusable account, member, settings, or result rows with optional media and trailing actions.
- Your Tailwind codebase already uses shadcn-style tokens and a cn helper.
- You want variants and an asChild escape hatch while retaining control of row contents.
Skip it if
- Your release gate rejects any critical accessibility finding, since the tested render uses an unsupported ARIA attribute.
- You need the supplied demo to fit narrow screens unchanged, since its fixed-width wrapper overflows and clips the actions.
- You prefer native list markup or a dependency-free row instead of role-based divs and Radix helpers.
Install
| Declared dependencies | @radix-ui/react-separator, 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 React, Radix Slot and Separator, class-variance-authority, clsx, and tailwind-merge. Provide the cn helper, Tailwind theme tokens used by the classes, and a local Separator component, then replace the path aliases with paths your build resolves.
