Check installed shadcn version

[sohaibfurqan92]

I have a relatively old project with shadcn installed. How do I check which version was installed?

In package.json there are many dependencies which shadcn installed but no direct mention of shadcn itself.

Now I want to add a component and my preference was to install it using the same shadcn version as the other components because doing '@latest' starts installing the canary version, which I think wouldn't be stable at this point?

Any help would be appreciated.

I have not try the canary version. For my project, I just put the install command provided on the component page and it will install the version I was using. Hope this help

It doesnt install anything with @latest

@sohaibfurqan92 The cli will take care of installing the correct components. If you're using Tailwind v3, it will install v3 compatible components.

@sohaibfurqan92 You're on Tailwind v3 right?

[sohaibfurqan92]

@shadcn "tailwindcss": "^3.3.0",

@shadcn could it be that I have installed multiple versions of the CLI? How to check that?

@sohaibfurqan92 Can you test with: npx [email protected] add sonner?

@shadcn it did get installed, and now I don't have the extra code in my globals.css as before. What was the issue?

I believe there should be a way to check the installed version of ShadCN. My project currently uses "react-hook-form": "^7.58.1" and "zod": "^3.25.67". However, when I run npx shadcn@latest add form, the command automatically updates the dependencies to "react-hook-form": "^7.60.0" and "zod": "^4.0.5", which results in numerous type errors.
