# CopilotKit x ShadCN
|

|
|
|
|
A compact Next.js example showing how to build a custom CopilotKit chat UI with
|
|
ShadCN-style primitives. It uses `useAgent` with a CopilotKit Built-in Agent at
|
|
`/api/copilotkit`, renders assistant messages with local chat components, and
|
|
includes two frontend interactions:
|
|
|
|
- A generated line chart rendered through `useFrontendTool`
|
|
- A human-in-the-loop taco rain picker rendered through `useHumanInTheLoop`
|
|
|
|
The app intentionally keeps the chat prompt fixed to make the demo repeatable.
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
- Node.js 20 or newer
|
|
- pnpm, via Corepack or your local install. The example declares
|
|
`pnpm@10.33.4` in `package.json`.
|
|
- An OpenAI API key
|
|
|
|
## Environment Variables
|
|
|
|
Create a local environment file:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cp .env.example .env.local
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then set:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...
|
|
COPILOTKIT_MODEL=openai/gpt-5.4
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`OPENAI_API_KEY` is required for the Built-in Agent. `COPILOTKIT_MODEL` is
|
|
optional and defaults to `openai/gpt-5.4` in `app/api/copilotkit/route.ts`.
|
|
|
|
## Setup
|
|
|
|
From this example directory:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd examples/shadcn
|
|
corepack enable
|
|
pnpm install
|
|
pnpm dev
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Open the local URL printed by Next.js, usually
|
|
`http://localhost:3000`.
|
|
|
|
## Try It
|
|
|
|
Press the send button to run each queued example:
|
|
|
|
1. Ask for a brief explanation of ShadCN
|
|
2. Render a simple generated line chart
|
|
3. Open the taco rain picker, choose an emoji, and make it rain
|
|
|
|
Use the reset button in the chat header to replay the sequence.
|
|
|
|
## Available Checks
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
pnpm typecheck
|
|
pnpm lint
|
|
pnpm build
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`pnpm check-types` is also available as an alias for `pnpm typecheck`.
