Set up

Add shadcn/ui to ECA in four steps

Admins approve the server once. Everyone in ECA then gets it through the same governed connection.

  1. 1

    Approve shadcn/ui in Runlayer

    Add shadcn/ui from the catalog and choose who can use it and which of its tools are allowed.

  2. 2

    Connect ECA to Runlayer

    Install the Runlayer CLI so ECA can reach shadcn/ui, which runs on the user’s machine.

  3. 3

    Sign in to shadcn/ui

    Sign in the way shadcn/ui requires. Runlayer holds the credentials so they stay out of the client’s configuration.

  4. 4

    Use shadcn/ui from ECA

    shadcn/ui’s approved tools appear in ECA. Every call is checked against policy and recorded.

Tools

7 shadcn/ui tools in ECA

Runlayer policy decides which of these ECA users can call.

  • Get project registries

    Get configured registry names from components.json - Returns error if no components.json exists (use init_project to create one)

  • List items in registries

    List items from registries (requires components.json - use init_project if missing)

  • Search items in registries

    Search for components in registries using fuzzy matching (requires components.json).

  • View items in registries

    View detailed information about specific registry items including the name, description, type and files content.

  • Get item examples from registries

    Find usage examples and demos with their complete code.

  • Get add command for items

    Get the shadcn CLI add command for specific items in a registry.

  • Get audit checklist

    Make sure to run the tool after all required steps have been completed.

Control

What Runlayer can see and stop in ECA

Some controls apply to every client at the gateway. Others depend on what ECA exposes to Runlayer.

  • Gateway policy (available)

    Every shadcn/ui call from ECA passes through Runlayer, where your policies can allow, alert, mask, or block it.

  • Audit trail (available)

    Each call is recorded with the user, ECA as the client, the tool, and the policy and scanner decisions.

  • Native enforcement adapter (not available)

    Runlayer has no device-side adapter for ECA yet, so control happens at the gateway.
