Measured entry
originui-comp-115
A compact Previous action with a left chevron placed in a tinted leading segment. It ships as a shadcn registry component and composes the registry Button, with Tailwind theme classes, a Lucide icon, Radix Slot support, class-variance-authority, and the shared cn utility behind it.

What the harness recorded
BARE BUILD
✗ Build failed in 8.72s error during build: [vite:load-fallback] Could not load <sandbox>/src/lib/utils (imported by src/components/ui/button.tsx): ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '<sandbox>/src/lib/utils'
Verdict
A focused, dependable preset for previous-step actions, but it is mostly styling around an existing Button. It needs a shadcn-style setup and will not mount bare because the shared utility import and registry primitive are assumed.
Use it if
- You need a clearly labeled back or previous action in a stepped flow.
- Your interface already uses the matching shadcn Button primitive and theme tokens.
- You want the icon visually separated from the text without adding custom markup each time.
Skip it if
- You need an icon-only control or a neutral browser-back affordance.
- Your design system does not use Tailwind utilities or shadcn-style theme tokens.
- You want navigation semantics supplied by the component, since this renders a button and leaves behavior to the caller.
Install
| Declared dependencies | radix-ui |
|---|---|
| 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 or replace the Button primitive and cn helper, configure the import aliases, provide the referenced Tailwind theme tokens, and install Lucide React, Radix UI, and class-variance-authority. Wire click or navigation behavior at the call site.
