Registry Distribution

Dollie Editor separates engine distribution from content distribution:

• npm distributes the editor engine and catalog packages;
• shadcn-compatible registries can distribute source components into an application.

This lets a component remain ordinary, editable React source while carrying the Dollie Editor engine as a dependency when needed.

Build registry output

npx dollie-editor build

The command builds configured catalog registry items into public registry JSON.

When to use each channel

Use an npm catalog package when you want versioned runtime content that applications import as a dependency.

Use a registry item when the integrator should receive and own the component source in their project.

Both paths should preserve the same stable catalog contract and editable field metadata.

Verify installed source

After adding a registry component, inspect the resulting files and dependency changes. Then run:

npx dollie-editor info --json

Do not assume that downloading source automatically registers it in the current editor.
