Edit tsconfig.json file
Add the following code to the tsconfig.json

"compilerOptions": {
// ...
"baseUrl": ".",
"paths": {
"@/*": [
"./src/*"
]
}
// ...
}
}
Create gatsby-node.ts file
Create a gatsby-node.ts
file at the root of your project if it doesn’t already exist, and add the code below to the gatsby-node
file so your app can resolve paths:
import * as path from "path"
export const onCreateWebpackConfig = ({ actions }) => {
actions.setWebpackConfig({
resolve: {
alias: {
"@/components": path.resolve(__dirname, "src/components"),
"@/lib/utils": path.resolve(__dirname, "src/lib/utils"),
},
},
})
}
Run the CLI
Run the shadcn-ui
init command to setup your project:
npx shadcn@latest init
