Measured entry
ruixen-milestone-stepper
formunclassifiedmotion on file
A client-side React and TypeScript vertical milestone timeline shipped as a shadcn registry component. It renders completed, current, and upcoming states with optional dates or custom icons, plus compact and detailed variants. Styling comes from Tailwind classes and a local cn helper, while Motion supplies the entrance and indicator animation.

What the harness recorded
BARE BUILD
✗ Build failed in 1m 46s error during build: [vite:load-fallback] Could not load <sandbox>/src/lib/utils (imported by src/cut/components/ruixen/milestone-stepper.tsx): ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '<sandbox>/src/lib/utils'
Verdict
A tidy fit for passive progress timelines, with useful variants and predictable data props. It needs a shadcn-style setup and does not work as a bare drop-in because it imports the local cn utility. Fix the low-contrast muted states and add semantic status markup before using it in an accessibility-sensitive flow.
Use it if
- You need a read-only order, delivery, or project progress timeline with a single current stage.
- Your interface already uses Tailwind theme tokens and the usual shadcn cn utility.
- You want optional descriptions, dates, custom icons, and solid or dashed connectors without interaction logic.
Skip it if
- You need an interactive form stepper with navigation, validation, or editable stages.
- You require accessible status semantics out of the box, since the stages are generic containers and the current state is conveyed visually.
- You cannot revise the muted text colors, which fail contrast checks in the tested presentation.
- You want to avoid adding an animation dependency for a small status display.
Install
| Declared dependencies | lucide-react, motion, clsx, tailwind-merge |
|---|---|
| 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 Motion, lucide-react, clsx, and tailwind-merge; configure Tailwind with foreground and background theme tokens; add a cn class-merging helper at the expected alias or change the import; and ensure the framework supports client components. Lucide is declared by the registry even though this source accepts icons from callers rather than importing one directly.
