Overview

Combine setting label, explanation, and control in one quiet row. This entry is written as a registry-ready component spec: useful to humans, copyable by AI tools, and easy to map to a future shadcn registry item.

Accessibility notes

Use semantic HTML or the matching Radix primitive before custom roles.
Keep focus-visible states obvious without adding decorative glow.
Ensure icon-only controls have an accessible label.
Do not rely on color alone for state or validation.

shadcn/ui switch

shadcn implementation

Use Radix Switch through the matching shadcn component when possible.

Use shadcn tokens for background, border, ring, muted text, radius, and state variants. Keep component-specific classes local and copyable.

optional adapter

HeroUI mapping

Settings Row can map to a HeroUI component only as an optional adapter. Keep UnBoring copy and token language framework-neutral.

AI Prompt

Create a Settings Row component for an AI-generated interface using shadcn-style composition. Use shadcn/ui switch as the implementation base. The component should support default, muted, error, disabled variants and default, hover, focus-visible, disabled, error, filled states. Include clear anatomy for Root, Thumb, Label, Description. Keep the visual language black, white, and gray with subtle borders, practical spacing, accessible focus states, and no decorative noise.

Negative Prompt

Do not invent a custom component API when shadcn/ui switch already covers the base behavior. Avoid random gradients, oversized radii, unclear disabled states, missing labels, icon-only controls without accessible names, and variants that change layout unexpectedly.

Implementation Notes

Base: shadcn/ui switch
Primitive: Radix Switch
Tailwind: Use shadcn tokens for background, border, ring, muted text, radius, and state variants. Keep component-specific classes local and copyable.
Dependency: Use Radix Switch through the matching shadcn component when possible.

Usage notes

Short guidance for humans and AI tools before copying the component.

What is this component for?

Settings Row helps teams combine setting label, explanation, and control in one quiet row. It should feel like a reusable product primitive, not a one-off decoration.

How should I implement it?

Start from shadcn/ui switch. Use Radix Switch through the matching shadcn component when possible. Keep variants token-driven and keep states predictable.

What should I avoid?

Do not invent a custom component API when shadcn/ui switch already covers the base behavior. Avoid random gradients, oversized radii, unclear disabled states, missing labels, icon-only controls without accessible names, and variants that change layout unexpectedly.
