Denozordec 9fd7ddb26c feat(reui): update documentation and component details for ReUI registry
- Expanded the ReUI documentation to reflect the addition of 20 free building blocks, including new components like `icon-tile`.
- Updated descriptions and usage guidelines across various rules and components to ensure clarity and accuracy.
- Enhanced the API references and examples to align with the latest changes in the ReUI framework, including updates to the `data-grid` component.
- Improved the registry setup instructions and free vs premium component distinctions for better user guidance.

These changes enhance the overall usability and understanding of the ReUI framework, providing users with comprehensive resources for effective implementation.

# CLI: registry setup, license, non-interactive install
## Registry setup (one-time, per project)
Free items (the 20 components and all `c-*` examples) need only the plain string registry in `components.json`:
```json
{ "registries": { "@reui": "https://reui.io/r/{style}/{name}.json" } }
```
Premium items (blocks; Motion Icons and templates) require a ReUI license at install:
1. Add the key to `.env.local`:
```bash
REUI_LICENSE_KEY=your-license-key
```
2. Switch `components.json` to the authenticated object form:
```json
{
"registries": {
"@reui": {
"url": "https://reui.io/r/{style}/{name}.json",
"headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer ${REUI_LICENSE_KEY}" }
}
}
}
```
The shadcn CLI expands `${REUI_LICENSE_KEY}` from `.env.local` inside `components.json`, but an MCP client config never expands variables, so a ReUI MCP server config must carry the raw token instead (for example `reui_pat_your_token_here`).
The MCP `get_project_context` tool returns the right config. Full guide: https://reui.io/docs/registry
## Installing
Use the project's package runner (check `packageManager`):
```bash
npx shadcn@latest add @reui/<name> --yes # npm
pnpm dlx shadcn@latest add @reui/<name> --yes # pnpm
bunx --bun shadcn@latest add @reui/<name> --yes # bun
```
`--yes` skips confirmation prompts. The CLI auto-detects the package manager from the lockfile (there is no `--package-manager` flag). It also resolves the correct base+style variant from `components.json`, so do not pass a style.
## Handling prompts and conflicts
- **Always pass `--yes`** so the CLI does not block on confirmation prompts.
- **Do NOT pass `--overwrite` by default.** If the CLI reports an existing file, read the output and resolve deliberately: install under a different name, adjust the path, or ask the user. Only use `--overwrite` when the user explicitly wants to replace a file.
- **Preview first when touching an existing project**: `npx shadcn@latest add @reui/<name> --dry-run` shows what would change; `--diff <file>` shows a specific file's diff. Use these before overwriting.
- Run from the **project root** so `components.json` and `.env.local` are found.
## Free vs premium boundary
- Public, no key: `c-*` examples and the 20 components (`@reui/data-grid`, `@reui/badge`, ...) that those examples depend on.
- Key required at install: blocks (`@reui/<category>-N`) need a Pro or Ultimate license; Motion Icons (`@reui/icons/...`) and templates need Ultimate.
If an install 401/403s, the license key is missing, invalid, or the plan does not cover that resource (blocks: Pro or higher; icons and templates: Ultimate). Point the user to https://reui.io/account (their key) or https://reui.io/pricing (upgrade).
