Introduction to Radix UI

What is Radix UI?

Radix UI is a set of unstyled, accessible components for building high-quality design systems and web applications. It provides the fundamental building blocks for building custom components.

Key Concepts

• Accessibility: Ensures components are usable by everyone, including those with disabilities.
• Unstyled: Provides the functionality without imposing any styling, allowing for full customization.
• Composable: Components can be composed together to create complex UI elements.

Installation

To install Radix UI, you can use npm or yarn:

npm install @radix-ui/react-

yarn add @radix-ui/react-

Replace <component-name> with the specific component you are using, such as button or dropdown.

Usage

Here’s a simple example of how to use Radix UI’s Button component:

import { Button } from '@radix-ui/react-button';

const MyComponent = () => {
    return Click me;
};

Best Practices

• Always ensure your components are accessible.
• Use the components as designed to maintain consistency and usability.
• Customize the styling to fit your design system, keeping the functionality intact.
• Test components across different browsers and devices.
