How to copy BoardUI components into an existing Next.js app with Boardui

Use the CLI to list, add, and install single components as editable source files.

Who it is forA developer with an existing Next.js project who needs a data table or stat cards without adopting a whole design system.

The problemHand-building tables, cards, and sidebars in one visual language takes longer than wiring up reviewed source components.

The outcomeChosen BoardUI components copied into your project's component folders, ready to edit.

What you need first

  • A model provider API key (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, OpenRouter, Vercel AI Gateway, Groq, or xAI)
  • A GitHub account and a Vercel account for the one-click deploy
  • Node.js and npm for local runs or CLI installs
  • A Next.js project if you want to add components to existing code

Steps

  1. Run npx boardui@latest list to see every component, one per line.
  2. Run npx boardui@latest add data-table to install one component and the pieces it depends on.
  3. Run npx boardui@latest add stat-cards to add a KPI row alongside it.
  4. Import the installed components into a page in your project and run your dev server to check the result.

Prompt for your agent

In my Next.js project at <project-path>, use the BoardUI CLI from the repo BoardUI/boardui to add the data-table and stat-cards components. Expected output: the component source files copied into the project and a page that renders both. Verify that the project builds without errors after the install.

Caveat. The README says components install into any Next.js project, but the dependencies and wiring for each one still need checking after the copy.
