Measured entry
kibo-dropzone
A client-side React dropzone shipped as copied shadcn registry source. It wraps react-dropzone in a full-width shadcn Button, adds Lucide upload feedback, and exposes context-based content and empty-state helpers. It depends on react-dropzone, lucide-react, the shadcn Button and cn utility, plus the project’s Tailwind theme classes.

What the harness recorded
BARE BUILD
✗ Build failed in 1m 49s error during build: [vite:load-fallback] Could not load <sandbox>/src/lib/utils (imported by src/cut/index.tsx): ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '<sandbox>/src/lib/utils'
Verdict
A useful composable starting point for shadcn applications, but not ready to ship unchanged because its clickable Button contains the file input and triggers a serious nested-interactive finding. The bare mount fails, so it needs a shadcn-style setup and an accessibility markup pass.
Use it if
- You already use shadcn conventions and want a file picker with drag, click, validation, and disabled-state behavior.
- You want composable selected-file and empty-state content while keeping upload transport in your own application code.
- You are prepared to correct the nested control markup before treating the component as accessibility-ready.
Skip it if
- You need an uploader that handles network requests, progress, retries, previews, or file removal out of the box.
- You require clean accessibility checks without modifying the root Button and nested file input structure.
- Your project does not use Tailwind and you do not want to recreate shadcn theme utilities and component primitives.
Install
| Declared dependencies | lucide-react, react-dropzone, radix-ui |
|---|---|
| Missing on install | react-dropzone |
| 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-dropzone and lucide-react, provide a compatible Button and cn helper, configure the @ path alias, and recreate the Tailwind utilities and theme tokens used by the source. Replace the nested interactive structure with an accessible drop target before release.
