Bklit UI
Bklit UI is a shadcn/ui-based chart and data-visualization component source for React dashboards.
Routing Summary
Load through Component Library Sources or UI Library Ranking when the screen is chart-heavy, dashboard-heavy, or needs data visualization blocks. Bklit docs describe chart components, chart blocks, Studio, and shadcn registry installation under the @bklit namespace. Source: Bklit docs, 2026-07-07
Position In Kevin's Stack
- Bklit UI: shadcn registry source for chart components and utility pieces such as legends, grids, axes, tooltips, brushes, reference areas, and chart hooks.
- Evil Charts: chart-treatment reference and visual composition source.
- Dashboard Blocks / Efferd and Blocks.so: broader dashboard/app-shell composition references.
Use Bklit when chart implementation detail is the component problem; use Evil Charts when the problem is the visual treatment.
Install Shape
pnpm dlx shadcn@latest add @bklit/area-chart
Bklit installation docs note that the registry namespace maps to https://ui.bklit.com/r/{name}.json, and that new projects configure it automatically. Source: Bklit installation docs, 2026-07-07
License Boundary
The GitHub README states chart components are MIT licensed, while Bklit Studio is proprietary. Treat Studio as a workflow/tool surface, not reusable source code. Source: bklit/bklit-ui, 2026-07-07
