The Survey Form Block at a Glance
A survey form is a structured questionnaire for collecting feedback, opinions, or research data from users. Unlike a contact form, it strings together many question types, single choice, multiple choice, free text, and ratings, into a flow that has to stay readable from the first question to the last. This block delivers that flow as a ready made Shadcn UI page, organizing question groups inside a clean card layout so respondents never feel lost.
The goal of the design is completion rate. Clear grouping, generous spacing, and consistent controls reduce the cognitive load that makes people abandon long forms halfway through.
From Feedback Widgets to Research Studies
Product teams use surveys for NPS and feature feedback, HR teams for employee engagement, researchers for study questionnaires, and event organizers for post-event reviews. The same structure covers onboarding questionnaires and customer discovery interviews conducted asynchronously.
For very long surveys, consider pairing this block with the wizard pattern from our multi step forms collection, splitting question groups across steps. For a lighter touch, a short survey also works well embedded at the end of a contact page.
Foundations: Shadcn UI, Tailwind, and Three Frameworks
The block is built in React with Tailwind handling layout and rhythm, and Shadcn UI supplying the form controls that surveys live on: radio groups for single choice questions, checkboxes for multi-select, textareas for open answers, and selects for dropdown choices, as described in the collection overview. Because those controls come from one design system, a survey with ten different question types still looks like one form.
Every block on this site ships in React, Vuejs, and Svelte versions, and the survey form is no exception. The Vuejs edition builds on the shadcn-vue port and the Svelte edition on shadcn-svelte, so the same questionnaire layout is native to all three ecosystems.
Bringing the Survey Into Your Project
Installation follows the standard flow: run the shadcn CLI command shown at the top of the example page, with npm, pnpm, yarn, and bun variants, or copy the files from the code tab. As a pro block, both paths unlock with an All Access plan; details are on the pricing page. From there, replace the sample questions with your own and post responses to your API or form service on submit.
Theming is inherited rather than configured. The form reads the design tokens in globals.css, so your existing primary, background, and border variables style every control, and the dark values of those tokens make the survey fully dark mode compatible. Nothing about the block needs separate styling work when your brand palette changes.
