Core building blocks for your design system

Unstyled, accessible, open source React primitives for high-quality web apps and design systems.

Get started

Dialog

With modal and non-modal modes, fine-grained focus control, accessible to screen readers.

Dropdown Menu

With submenus, checkable items, collision handling, arrow key navigation, and typeahead support.

Popover

With fine-grained focus control, collision handling, origin-aware and collision-aware animations.

Slider

Scroll Area

Supports custom cross-browser styling while maintaining the browser's native scroll behavior.

Tabs

Supports arrow key navigation, horizontal/vertical orientation, controlled or uncontrolled.

Accordion

Supports one or multiple items open at the same time, keyboard navigation, collapse and expand animation.

Radio Group

Why Radix Primitives

Spend less time on
undifferentiated work

Save time. Ship faster.

It takes a lot of time to develop and maintain a robust set of UI components, and it's mostly undifferentiated work. Building on top of Radix components will save you time and money, so you can ship a better product faster.

Focus on your product

It’s no secret that robust UI components are tricky to build. Nailing accessibility details and complex logic sucks time away from product feature development. With Radix, you can focus on your unique engineering challenges instead.

Case in point

So, you think you can build a dropdown?

We agonise over API design, performance, and accessibility so you don't need to.

A dropdown menu example with a checked item and a submenu

Full keyboard navigation

Navigate the menu using arrow keys, Escape, and Enter hotkeys, or even via typeahead.

Modal and non-modal modes

Configure whether the dropdown menu allows or blocks outside interactions.

Supports submenus

Nest another level of fully functional submenus inside the dropdown menu.

Supports assistive technology

Implements correct semantics and behaviors, so it's accessible to people using assistive technology.

Collision and origin-aware animations

Create open and close animations that take the dropdown menu’s actual position into account.

Control alignment and collisions

Position the menu anywhere relative to the trigger, taking collisions with the screen into account.

Fully managed focus

Granularly control focus behavior when user closes the dropdown menu or focuses an outside element.

Supports checkable items

Items can be used to perform actions, as well as act as checkbox or radiobutton controls.

Supports assistive technology

Accessibility out of the box

WAI-ARIA compliant

Radix Primitives follow the WAI-ARIA guidelines, implementing correct semantics and behaviors for our components.

Keyboard navigation

Primitives provide full keyboard support for components where users expect to use a keyboard or other input devices.

Focus management

Out of the box, Primitives provide sensible focus management defaults, which can be further customized in your code.

Screen reader tested

We test Primitives with common assistive technologies, looking out for practical issues that people may experience.

Developer experience to love

Develop with an open, thought‑out API

One of our main goals is to provide the best possible developer experience. Radix Primitives provides a fully-typed API. All components share a similar API, creating a consistent and predictable experience.

// Add styles with your preferred CSS technology
const TooltipContent = styled(Tooltip.Content, {
backgroundColor: 'black',
borderRadius: '3px',
padding: '5px'
});
const PopoverContent = styled(Popover.Content, {
backgroundColor: 'white',
boxShadow: '0 2px 10px -3px rgb(0 0 0 / 20%)',
borderRadius: '3px',
});
const DialogContent = styled(Dialog.Content, {
backgroundColor: 'white',
boxShadow: '0 3px 15px -4px rgb(0 0 0 / 30%)',
borderRadius: '5px',
});
// Add styles with your preferred CSS technology
const TooltipContent = styled(Tooltip.Content, {
backgroundColor: 'black',
borderRadius: '3px',
padding: '5px'
});
const PopoverContent = styled(Popover.Content, {
backgroundColor: 'white',
boxShadow: '0 2px 10px -3px rgb(0 0 0 / 20%)',
borderRadius: '3px',
});
const DialogContent = styled(Dialog.Content, {
backgroundColor: 'white',
boxShadow: '0 3px 15px -4px rgb(0 0 0 / 30%)',
borderRadius: '5px',
});

Unstyled

No need to override styles, no specificity wars.

// Compose a custom Tooltip component
export const StatusTooltip = ({ state, label }) => {
return (
<Tooltip.Root>
<Tooltip.Trigger asChild>
<Text>
<Status variant={state} />
</Text>
</Tooltip.Trigger>
<Tooltip.Portal>
<TooltipContent>
<Tooltip.Arrow />
{label}
</TooltipContent>
</Tooltip.Portal>
</Tooltip.Root>
);
};
// Compose a custom Tooltip component
export const StatusTooltip = ({ state, label }) => {
return (
<Tooltip.Root>
<Tooltip.Trigger asChild>
<Text>
<Status variant={state} />
</Text>
</Tooltip.Trigger>
<Tooltip.Portal>
<TooltipContent>
<Tooltip.Arrow />
{label}
</TooltipContent>
</Tooltip.Portal>
</Tooltip.Root>
);
};

Composable

Granular access to each component part.

// Compose a Popover with custom focus and positioning
export const StatusPopover = ({ children }) => {
const popoverCloseButton = React.useRef(null);
return (
<Popover.Root>
<Popover.Trigger>View status</Popover.Trigger>
<Popover.Portal>
<PopoverContent align="start" collisionPadding={10} onOpenAutoFocus={(event) => { // Focus the close button when popover opens popoverCloseButton.current?.focus(); event.preventDefault(); }} >
{children}
<Popover.Close ref={popoverCloseButton}>
Close
</Popover.Close>
</PopoverContent>
</Popover.Portal>
</Popover.Root>
);
};
// Compose a Popover with custom focus and positioning
export const StatusPopover = ({ children }) => {
const popoverCloseButton = React.useRef(null);
return (
<Popover.Root>
<Popover.Trigger>View status</Popover.Trigger>
<Popover.Portal>
<PopoverContent align="start" collisionPadding={10} onOpenAutoFocus={(event) => { // Focus the close button when popover opens popoverCloseButton.current?.focus(); event.preventDefault(); }} >
{children}
<Popover.Close ref={popoverCloseButton}>
Close
</Popover.Close>
</PopoverContent>
</Popover.Portal>
</Popover.Root>
);
};

Customizable

Configure behavior, control focus, add event listeners.

// Compose a Dialog with custom focus management
export const InfoDialog = ({ children }) => {
const dialogCloseButton = React.useRef(null);
return (
<Dialog.Root>
<Dialog.Trigger>View details</Dialog.Trigger>
<Dialog.Overlay />
<Dialog.Portal>
<DialogContent onOpenAutoFocus={(event) => { // Focus the close button when dialog opens dialogCloseButton.current?.focus(); event.preventDefault(); }} >
{children}
<Dialog.Close ref={dialogCloseButton}>
Close
</Dialog.Close>
</DialogContent>
</Dialog.Portal>
</Dialog.Root>
);
};
// Compose a Dialog with custom focus management
export const InfoDialog = ({ children }) => {
const dialogCloseButton = React.useRef(null);
return (
<Dialog.Root>
<Dialog.Trigger>View details</Dialog.Trigger>
<Dialog.Overlay />
<Dialog.Portal>
<DialogContent onOpenAutoFocus={(event) => { // Focus the close button when dialog opens dialogCloseButton.current?.focus(); event.preventDefault(); }} >
{children}
<Dialog.Close ref={dialogCloseButton}>
Close
</Dialog.Close>
</DialogContent>
</Dialog.Portal>
</Dialog.Root>
);
};
