How to use shadcn-ui stylings in content script?

Hi, just starting out with a new extension and Plasmo seems too good to not give it a try! Since our brands UI is heavily relying on shadcn's styling, we're looking to also utilize it in our planned chrome extension. Sat down and managed to set it up for the popup, however no matter what I'm trying, shadcn components don't render properly using the content script. How do I have to to configure the getStyle API to utilize shadcn's components in the content script? Looking forward to any replies that might help! Best regards 🙂

Hey, are you installing the shadcn components manually or using CLI? manual is the best approach here because we need to use custom prefix for tailwind classes plasmo- in this case add the prefix to all the classes in the manually imported component hope it helps

Hi, thanks for your help! I’m installing components manually using the ~ prefix as recommended by plasmo. All components work in popup, just rendering them in content doesn’t work

Fixed it! Just randomly saw that you have to replace :root with :host in shadow tags (https://discord.com/channels/946290204443025438/1049475306811039764/1169899503093026837). That actually works 🙂

hi, I also try to use shadcn-ui in plasmo, and find your solution to replace :root with :host but after that style of shadcn-ui components still not work in content script. @Daluxe Do you know how to solve it, thanks a lot.

I think it is working, you just need to add a background color to that dropdown component

Aain•12mo ago

I think it is because of shadow root, that tailwind css definition is insert inside shadow root but dropdown is mount outside shadow root's doucment.body, i try to mount it inside shadow root fixed, after mount component such as modal and popup inside shadowroot 😆

Hi ,do you mind writing a simple demo on GitHub? I still don't know how to import shadcn and display it in the interface. If it's possible to help, that would be great. He will help me and those who will use Plasma in the future

@Arvin @nithur Hello, I have the same problem with the SelectContent component and popover component that display shadcn in contentui. I found that the "SelectContent" appears outside plasmo-csui, which prevents the correct style from being displayed. How did you solve it? Any possible help is greatly appreciated The popover in the popup can be displayed correctly, !image In contentui, the surface element can be displayed correctly, but the floating element popover contained inside cannot be displayed correctly !image

the content.tsx code:

import cssText from "data-text:~style.css"
// i have import

export const getStyle = () => {
    const style = document.createElement("style")
    style.textContent = cssText.replaceAll(':root', ':host(plasmo-csui)');
    return style
}
export const config: PlasmoCSConfig = {
    matches: ["*://*.bing.com/*"]
}

export const getInlineAnchor: PlasmoGetInlineAnchor = async () => ({
    element: document.querySelector("#b_context"),
    insertPosition: "afterbegin"
})

const PlasmoCSUI = () => {

    // ……some code

OK, I think I found how to fix that for dynamic content like sheet or popover. Since shadcn uses radix for that you need to go to radix documentation. The problem is that the dynamic component is not mounted inside of shadow dom, but it's mounted in the body. Here is how you can fix it https://www.radix-ui.com/primitives/docs/components/dialog#custom-portal-container for sheet component.

Dialog – Radix Primitives

A window overlaid on either the primary window or another dialog window, rendering the content underneath inert.
