Noundry.Studio.CLI 1.3.1

Noundry.Studio.CLI (ndui)

The RATH stack for .NET — Razor, Alpine.js, Tailwind, HTMX. Editable components, server-rendered, hot reload under 500ms. No Node toolchain.

A .NET 10 global tool that scaffolds and installs editable Razor components into your project from the Noundry registry. Think shadcn add for the RATH stack.

Install

dotnet tool install -g Noundry.Studio.CLI

Use

ndui init my-app            # scaffold a new RATH project
cd my-app
ndui add datatable dialog   # install components into Components/<Name>/
ndui list                   # what's installed
ndui doctor                 # verify wiring + file integrity
dotnet run                  # ship

The starter ships with HTMX wired into the layout, Alpine for client-side state, Tailwind via Tailbreeze (no Node), and Tuxedo over IDbConnection for data.

What it gives you

• 53 owned, editable components — <noundry-data-table>, <noundry-modal>, <noundry-combobox>, and more. Drop into your .cshtml, edit the source freely.
• 15 reactivity patterns — async-autocomplete, debounced-search, infinite-scroll, optimistic-delete, modal-form, polling, multi-target swaps. All HTMX-native.
• Hot reload <500ms — server-rendered Razor + dotnet watch.
• No Node toolchain — Tailwind compiled by an MSBuild task. No npm install.
• Multi-target ready — works in Razor Pages, MVC, and Minimal API.

Non-goals

• Does not require Node.js.
• Does not require any specific cloud.
