How do I install a Application Shell block?

Run npx shadcn@latest add @chocolate/application-shell-01 after adding the @chocolate registry to components.json. Pro blocks need your license key in CHOCOLATE_LICENSE_KEY.

Can I use these in Next.js or Astro?

Yes. Blocks are plain React with Tailwind v4 classes. Links are plain anchors you can swap for your router.

How does theming work?

Blocks use shadcn's CSS variables, so your existing theme applies. Change --primary, --radius and the rest, and every block follows.
