Measured entry
neobrutalism-dropdown-menu
A React and TypeScript dropdown menu shipped as a shadcn registry component. It wraps Radix Dropdown Menu primitives with neobrutalist Tailwind classes and includes items, nested menus, checkbox and radio choices, labels, separators, and shortcuts. It depends on Radix, React, Lucide icons, a cn helper, and project theme utilities.

What the harness recorded
BARE BUILD
✗ Build failed in 37.07s error during build: [vite:load-fallback] Could not load <sandbox>/src/lib/utils (imported by src/cut/components/ui/dropdown-menu.tsx): ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '<sandbox>/src/lib/utils'
Verdict
A capable, complete dropdown foundation with sound Radix behavior and clean harness results. It is not a drop-in standalone file: the bare mount fails, so it needs a shadcn-style setup with aliases, utilities, and theme classes in place.
Use it if
- You need an accessible action menu with keyboard behavior delegated to Radix.
- Your interface already uses the neobrutalism theme tokens and matching rounded, bordered controls.
- You need nested menus, selectable items, or shortcut labels from one component module.
Skip it if
- Your project does not use Tailwind or cannot adopt the component's custom theme tokens.
- You want a lightweight native menu and do not need the full Radix interaction model.
- Your design system requires understated surfaces rather than thick borders and high-contrast focus states.
Install
| Declared dependencies | @radix-ui/react-dropdown-menu |
|---|---|
| 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, install the Radix dropdown package and Lucide React, add the cn class-merging helper, configure the source alias, and define the Tailwind theme tokens and animation utilities referenced by the component. Ensure the file is compiled as a client-side React component.
