Shadcn User Cards

User Cards is a set of compact profile card blocks for showing a user's avatar, name, role, and quick actions. Each card is composed from Shadcn UI components like avatars, badges, and buttons inside a tidy Tailwind grid that adapts to any screen size. Drop the cards into React projects, or install the Vuejs or Svelte versions instead.

Profile Information at a Glance

A user card is a compact component that answers three questions in a second: who is this person, what do they do, and how do I act on that. This collection of blocks packages that pattern with an avatar, name, role, and quick action buttons arranged in a tidy card that repeats cleanly across a grid.

The cards are deliberately small in scope. They summarize a person and link onward, while a full profile card or profile page carries the deeper biography, stats, and activity.

Placements Across Your Product

User cards show up wherever people are the content. Team and about pages introduce staff, member directories let communities browse each other, admin dashboards list accounts with role badges and management actions, and collaboration tools surface teammates for inviting, assigning, or messaging.

Because each card is self-contained, the same component serves a marketing page and an internal tool. Only the action buttons change: a public page might show social links, while an admin view swaps in edit and suspend controls.

Foundation and Visual Language

The blocks are React components styled with Tailwind spacing and layout utilities, composed from Shadcn UI primitives: the Avatar component with image and initials fallback, Badge for roles and statuses, and Button for actions. A responsive Tailwind grid keeps the cards aligned from a single column on phones up to multi-column layouts on wide screens.

Styling flows through the Shadcn UI design tokens defined as CSS variables in globals.css. Card surfaces use the card token, secondary text uses muted-foreground, and borders use the border token, so the cards inherit your palette and switch between light and dark mode with zero component edits.

Three Frameworks, One Install Flow

The cards ship in React, Vuejs, and Svelte versions. The Vuejs edition builds on the shadcn-vue port and the Svelte edition on shadcn-svelte, so avatars, badges, and buttons behave identically in each ecosystem.

To use them, run the shadcn CLI command shown at the top of the example page, with npm, pnpm, yarn, and bun tabs, or copy the markup from the code tab. This is a pro collection, so the source and CLI install come with the All Access plan. Wiring real data is a straightforward map over your users array, passing name, role, and avatar URL into each card.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens when a user has no profile photo?
The Shadcn UI Avatar component includes a fallback slot, which renders the user's initials on a neutral token-based background when the image is missing or fails to load, so the grid never shows broken images.
How do these differ from profile cards?
User cards are the compact, grid-friendly variant focused on identity plus one or two actions. Profile cards give a single person more room, with richer stats and longer descriptions. Many products use user cards in lists and a profile card on the detail view.
Can I feed the cards from an API?
Yes. Each card takes plain display data, so rendering a team is a map over the users returned by your endpoint. Server components, client fetches, and static data all work since the cards hold no state of their own.
Are the cards responsive out of the box?
They are. The collection uses a responsive Tailwind grid that collapses to one column on small screens and expands to several columns on desktops, with card internals built to truncate long names gracefully.
Do I need a subscription to get the code?
The preview is public, but the source code and shadcn CLI install for this pro collection are part of the All Access plan. That plan also covers the Vuejs and Svelte versions built on the shadcn-vue and shadcn-svelte ports.
