Introduction
A Flutter component library built on the copy-paste model — own your UI, not a dependency.
What is RonakCN?
RonakCN is a collection of beautifully crafted Flutter widgets that you copy into your project, not install as a package. Inspired by shadcn/ui for the web, RonakCN applies the same philosophy to Flutter: every widget you add becomes your code — stored in your repository, readable by your team, and fully customisable without fighting with an upstream API.
The companion CLI (ronakcn_cli) handles all the plumbing: it copies the widget source files, installs only the pub packages they genuinely require, and keeps a ronakcn.json manifest so you can update or remove components later.
There is no ronakcn entry in your pubspec.yaml. The library never becomes a runtime dependency. You get beautiful, accessible widgets and total ownership — forever.

Key features
Copy & own
Components are copied directly into your codebase — no package version conflicts, no black-box widgets.
Themeable by design
Every component reads from a central token system. One change in ronakcn.json ripples across your entire UI.
Dark mode built-in
All components ship with first-class dark mode support via Flutter's ThemeMode widget.
RTL ready
Right-to-left layouts work out of the box. Wrap your app in Directionality and you're done.
Powerful CLI
Add, remove, and update components, browse what's available, and manage your config — all from the terminal.
No dependency bloat
RonakCN itself is never added to pubspec.yaml. Only the pub packages a component genuinely needs are installed.
