Measured entry
originui-comp-127
A static React directional control pad with up, down, left, and right outline buttons around a decorative center marker. It ships as a shadcn registry component and composes the registry Button with Tailwind classes and Lucide icons. That Button also relies on class-variance-authority, Radix Slot, and the shadcn cn utility.

What the harness recorded
BARE BUILD
✗ Build failed in 46.47s 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 clear, focused control that builds, mounts, and adapts cleanly in the configured harness. It needs a shadcn-style setup because the bare project cannot resolve the expected utility module. Choose it when four discrete directional actions are enough; richer navigation behavior is yours to add.
Use it if
- You need an immediately recognizable directional pad for panning a map, camera, canvas, or viewport.
- Your app already uses shadcn-style Button primitives and Tailwind utility classes.
- You want separate, accessible button targets with explicit labels for each direction.
Skip it if
- You need continuous movement, press-and-hold behavior, diagonal input, or keyboard handling out of the box.
- Your design system does not use Tailwind or shadcn-style component aliases and utilities.
- You need a semantic control for selecting among values rather than issuing directional actions.
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 Tailwind with the expected theme tokens, Lucide React, class-variance-authority, and Radix UI. Copy or replace the Button primitive, provide a compatible cn class-merging helper, and update the registry import aliases to paths your bundler resolves. Wire click, keyboard, and repeated-input behavior for the target interaction.
