Radix Primitives is an open-source, unstyled React UI component library focused on accessibility, customization, and developer experience. It provides low-level building blocks like dialogs, dropdown menus, popovers, and tooltips that follow WAI-ARIA design patterns and can serve as the base layer of a design system.
Use cases
- build accessible react components
- create a design system from scratch
- add accessible dialogs and popovers to a react app
- headless ui components with full styling control
- wai-aria compliant dropdown menus and tooltips
- unstyled component primitives for tailwind or css modules
- keyboard navigation and focus management for custom widgets
When to choose
- you need accessible React components that follow WAI-ARIA patterns without building them yourself
- you want full control over styling with any CSS solution
- you are building a custom design system and need a solid base layer
- you want to adopt components incrementally into an existing app
When to avoid
- you need pre-styled, ready-to-use components out of the box
- your project does not use React
- you want a full component kit with themes and visual design included
