 ### 2. Configure TailwindCSS
 
-Add the following to your `tailwind.config.js`:
+Create a `tailwind.config.ts` file with the following configuration:
 
-```javascript
-module.exports = {
+```typescript
+import tailwindConfig from '@unraid/ui/tailwind.config.ts';
+import type { Config } from 'tailwindcss';
+
+export default {
+  presets: [tailwindConfig],

-    "./node_modules/@unraid/ui/**/*.{js,vue,ts}",

+      // your theme extensions
+    },
   },
-  plugins: [require("tailwindcss-animate"), require("@tailwindcss/typography")],
-};
+} satisfies Partial<Config>;
 ```
 
+This configuration:
+
+- Uses the Unraid UI library's Tailwind config as a preset
+- Properly types your configuration with TypeScript
+- Allows you to extend the base theme while maintaining all Unraid UI defaults

-import { Button } from "@unraid/ui";
+import { Button } from '@unraid/ui';

+### Installing Shadcn Components
+
+1. Install a new component using the Shadcn CLI:
+
+```bash
+npx shadcn-vue@latest add [component-name]
+```
+
+2. The component will be installed in the root components folder. Move it to the appropriate subfolder based on its type:
+
+   - Form components → `src/components/form/`
+   - Layout components → `src/components/layout/`
+   - Common components → `src/components/common/`
+   - Brand components → `src/components/brand/`
+
+3. Update any imports in your codebase to reflect the new component location.
+
+### Component Variants Pattern
+
+We use the `class-variance-authority` (CVA) package to manage component variants. Each component that supports variants should follow this pattern:
+
+1. Create a variants file (e.g., `button.variants.ts`):
+
+```typescript
+import { cva } from 'class-variance-authority';
+
+export const buttonVariants = cva('base-classes-here', {
+  variants: {
+    variant: {
+      primary: 'variant-specific-classes',
+      secondary: 'variant-specific-classes',
+      // ... other variants
+    },
+    size: {
+      sm: 'size-specific-classes',
+      md: 'size-specific-classes',
+      lg: 'size-specific-classes',
+    },
+  },
+  defaultVariants: {
+    variant: 'primary',
+    size: 'md',
+  },
+});
+```
+
+2. Use the variants in your component (e.g., `Button.vue`):
+
+```vue
+<script setup lang="ts">
+
+
+
+import { computed } from "vue";
+import { buttonVariants } from "./button.variants";
+import { cn } from "@/lib/utils";
+
+export interface ButtonProps {
+  variant?: "primary" | "secondary" | /* other variants */;
+  size?: "sm" | "md" | "lg";
+  class?: string;
+}
+
+const props = withDefaults(defineProps<ButtonProps>(), {
+  variant: "primary",
+  size: "md",
+});
+
+const buttonClass = computed(() => {
+  return cn(
+    buttonVariants({ variant: props.variant, size: props.size }),
+    props.class
+  );
+});
+</script>
+
+<template>
+  <button :class="buttonClass">
+    <slot />
+  </button>
+</template>
+```
+
+### Storybook Development
+
+We use Storybook for component development and documentation. To start the Storybook development server:
+
+```bash
+npm run storybook
+```
+
+This will start Storybook at [http://localhost:6006](http://localhost:6006)
+
+When creating stories for your components:
+
+1. Place story files in the `stories` directory
+2. Name your story files as `ComponentName.stories.ts`
+3. Include examples of all variants and states
+4. Add documentation using JSDoc comments
+
+Example story file:
+
+```typescript
+import type { Meta, StoryObj } from '@storybook/vue3';
+import { Button } from '../src/components/common/button';
+
+const meta = {
+  title: 'Components/Button',
+  component: Button,
+  tags: ['autodocs'],
+  argTypes: {
+    variant: {
+      control: 'select',
+      options: ['primary', 'secondary', 'outline'],
+    },
+    size: {
+      control: 'select',
+      options: ['sm', 'md', 'lg'],
+    },
+  },
+} satisfies Meta<typeof Button>;
+
+export default meta;
+type Story = StoryObj<typeof meta>;
+
+export const Primary: Story = {
+  args: {
+    variant: 'primary',
+    size: 'md',
+  },
+};
+
+export const Secondary: Story = {
+  args: {
+    variant: 'secondary',
+    size: 'md',
+  },
+};
+```
