Measured entry
originui-comp-129
A client-side React notification button that places a count badge over a bell icon and clears the count when clicked. It ships as a shadcn registry component alongside Origin UI's Button and Badge primitives, and relies on React state, Lucide icons, Radix Slot, class-variance-authority, a cn helper, and Tailwind theme utilities.

What the harness recorded
BARE BUILD
✗ Build failed in 31.10s 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 small pattern for a shadcn-based interface, with sensible labeling and straightforward behavior. It needs a shadcn-style setup to build and mount, and its hardcoded local state makes it a starting point rather than a drop-in production notification control.
Use it if
- You need a compact notification trigger whose unread count disappears after activation.
- Your app already uses shadcn conventions and can reuse the supplied Button and Badge primitives.
- You want an accessible icon-only control with a fixed label and a decorative bell icon.
Skip it if
- Clearing unread state requires confirmation from a server rather than an immediate local update.
- You need the trigger to open a notification panel, since this component only clears its local count.
- Your design system does not use Tailwind theme tokens or shadcn-style utility helpers.
- You need the count and click behavior supplied through props instead of being embedded in the component.
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 Origin UI Button and Badge sources, React and Lucide icon support, Radix Slot, class-variance-authority, a cn utility backed by class merging, Tailwind theme tokens, and matching import aliases. Then replace the local count with application state and wire the click to the real notification flow.
