Measured entry
originui-comp-124
A compact, link-styled Go back button with a muted Lucide chevron. It ships as a shadcn registry component that composes the registry Button primitive and relies on its Radix Slot, variant classes, class-name utility, and Tailwind theme conventions. It supplies no routing or history behavior.

What the harness recorded
BARE BUILD
✗ Build failed in 7.31s 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 sound, narrowly scoped visual primitive with clean verified behavior, but it is little more than a preset Button composition. It needs a shadcn-style setup, and teams must still wire the actual back action.
Use it if
- You need a restrained back action beside breadcrumbs, a page title, or a detail view.
- Your app already has the compatible shadcn Button primitive and Lucide icons.
- You want to attach your own router link or browser-history handler.
Skip it if
- You need a complete navigation control with destination or history behavior included.
- Your design system does not use Tailwind utilities or shadcn-style theme tokens.
- The action must look like a prominent filled or outlined button rather than a text link.
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 the compatible Button primitive, Lucide React, Radix UI, class-variance-authority, a cn class-name helper, and the Tailwind utilities and theme tokens used by the button styles. Then replace the registry aliases with local import paths.
