kibo-glimpse

tooltipminimal-flatdo not use

A shadcn registry component that wraps a Hover Card into link-preview primitives for the trigger, content, title, description, and image. It also ships a server helper that fetches a URL and extracts basic page metadata. It depends on the shadcn Hover Card, Radix UI, React, Tailwind utilities, and a project-specific class-name helper alias.

This entry is a do-not-use verdict

It is published because it broke, not in spite of it. The run stopped at the production build, and the recorded output is printed further down this page.

Verdict

Useful as a small composition layer, but this package fails to build because its class-name helper imports an unresolved repository-internal path. It needs a shadcn-style setup plus a corrected utility import. Teams seeking a verified drop-in component should avoid it until the registry source is fixed.

Use it if

  • You already use shadcn Hover Card and want composable primitives for a link preview.
  • Your server can safely fetch approved URLs and basic metadata extraction is sufficient.
  • You are willing to replace the repository-specific utility import during integration.

Skip it if

  • You need a component that builds unchanged after registry installation.
  • Your project does not use shadcn conventions, Tailwind theme tokens, or path aliases.
  • Preview URLs can be supplied by untrusted users without server-side validation.
  • You need robust metadata parsing across varied markup rather than regular-expression extraction.

Providerno provider required in the harness

In a non-shadcn project, add React, Radix UI Hover Card primitives, Tailwind styles and matching theme tokens, then supply a local class-name merge helper and replace the repository alias. Recreate the Hover Card module imports, preserve the client boundary for the interactive wrappers, and keep the URL-fetching helper on the server with URL validation.
