Radix UI Design System
Build production-ready, accessible design systems using Radix UI primitives with full customization control and zero style opinions.
Overview
Radix UI provides unstyled, accessible components (primitives) that you can customize to match any design system. This skill guides you through building scalable component libraries with Radix UI, focusing on accessibility-first design, theming architecture, and composable patterns.
Key Strengths:
Headless by design : Full styling control without fighting defaults
Accessibility built-in : WAI-ARIA compliant, keyboard navigation, screen reader support
Composable primitives : Build complex components from simple building blocks
Framework agnostic : Works with React, but styles work anywhere
When to Use This Skill
Creating a custom design system from scratch
Building accessible UI component libraries
Implementing complex interactive components (Dialog, Dropdown, Tabs, etc.)
Migrating from styled component libraries to unstyled primitives
Setting up theming systems with CSS variables or Tailwind
Need full control over component behavior and styling
Building applications requiring WCAG 2.1 AA/AAA compliance
Do not use this skill when
You need pre-styled components out of the box (use shadcn/ui, Mantine, etc.)
Building simple static pages without interactivity
The project doesn't use React 16.8+ (Radix requires hooks)
You need components for frameworks other than React
Core Principles
1. Accessibility First
Every Radix primitive is built with accessibility as the foundation:
Keyboard Navigation : Full keyboard support (Tab, Arrow keys, Enter, Escape)
Screen Readers : Proper ARIA attributes and live regions
Focus Management : Automatic focus trapping and restoration
Disabled States : Proper handling of disabled and aria-disabled
Rule : Never override accessibility features. Enhance, don't replace.
2. Headless Architecture
Radix provides behavior , you provide appearance :
< className= />
Button
"override-everything"
<Dialog.Root >
<Dialog.Trigger className ="your-button-styles" />
<Dialog.Content className ="your-modal-styles" />
</Dialog.Root >
3. Composition Over Configuration Build complex components from simple primitives:
<Tabs .Root >
<Tabs.List >
<Tabs.Trigger value ="tab1" > Tab 1</Tabs.Trigger >
<Tabs.Trigger value ="tab2" > Tab 2</Tabs.Trigger >
</Tabs.List >
<Tabs.Content value ="tab1" > Content 1</Tabs.Content >
<Tabs.Content value ="tab2" > Content 2</Tabs.Content >
</Tabs .Root >
Getting Started
Installation
npm install @radix-ui/react-dialog @radix-ui/react-dropdown-menu
npm install @radix-ui/react-{dialog,dropdown-menu,tabs,tooltip}
npm install clsx tailwind-merge class-variance-authority
Basic Component Pattern Every Radix component follows this pattern:
import * as Dialog from '@radix-ui/react-dialog' ;
export function MyDialog ( ) {
return (
<Dialog.Root >
{/* Trigger the dialog */}
<Dialog.Trigger asChild >
<button className ="trigger-styles" > Open</button >
</Dialog.Trigger >
{/* Portal renders outside DOM hierarchy */}
<Dialog.Portal >
{/* Overlay (backdrop) */}
<Dialog.Overlay className ="overlay-styles" />
{/* Content (modal) */}
<Dialog.Content className ="content-styles" >
<Dialog.Title > Title</Dialog.Title >
<Dialog.Description > Description</Dialog.Description >
{/* Your content here */}
<Dialog.Close asChild >
<button > Close</button >
</Dialog.Close >
</Dialog.Content >
</Dialog.Portal >
</Dialog.Root >
);
}
Theming Strategies
Strategy 1: CSS Variables (Framework-Agnostic) Best for : Maximum portability, SSR-friendly
:root {
--color-primary : 220 90% 56% ;
--color-surface : 0 0% 100% ;
--radius-base : 0.5rem ;
--shadow-lg : 0 10px 15px -3px rgb (0 0 0 / 0.1 );
}
[data-theme="dark" ] {
--color-primary : 220 90% 66% ;
--color-surface : 222 47% 11% ;
}
<Dialog .Content
className="
bg-[hsl(var(--color-surface))]
rounded-[var(--radius-base)]
shadow-[var(--shadow-lg)]
"
/>
Strategy 2: Tailwind + CVA (Class Variance Authority) Best for : Tailwind projects, variant-heavy components
import { cva, type VariantProps } from 'class-variance-authority' ;
import { cn } from '@/lib/utils' ;
const buttonVariants = cva (
"inline-flex items-center justify-center rounded-md font-medium transition-colors focus-visible:outline-none disabled:pointer-events-none disabled:opacity-50" ,
{
variants : {
variant : {
default : "bg-primary text-primary-foreground hover:bg-primary/90" ,
destructive : "bg-destructive text-destructive-foreground hover:bg-destructive/90" ,
outline : "border border-input bg-background hover:bg-accent" ,
ghost : "hover:bg-accent hover:text-accent-foreground" ,
},
size : {
default : "h-10 px-4 py-2" ,
sm : "h-9 rounded-md px-3" ,
lg : "h-11 rounded-md px-8" ,
icon : "h-10 w-10" ,
},
},
defaultVariants : {
variant : "default" ,
size : "default" ,
},
}
);
interface ButtonProps extends VariantProps <typeof buttonVariants> {
children : React .ReactNode ;
}
export function Button ({ variant, size, children }: ButtonProps ) {
return (
<button className ={cn(buttonVariants({ variant , size }))}>
{children}
</button >
);
}
Strategy 3: Stitches (CSS-in-JS) Best for : Runtime theming, scoped styles
import { styled } from '@stitches/react' ;
import * as Dialog from '@radix-ui/react-dialog' ;
const StyledContent = styled (Dialog .Content , {
backgroundColor : '$surface' ,
borderRadius : '$md' ,
padding : '$6' ,
variants : {
size : {
small : { width : '300px' },
medium : { width : '500px' },
large : { width : '700px' },
},
},
defaultVariants : {
size : 'medium' ,
},
});
Component Patterns
Pattern 1: Compound Components with Context Use case : Share state between primitive parts
import * as Select from '@radix-ui/react-select' ;
import { CheckIcon , ChevronDownIcon } from '@radix-ui/react-icons' ;
export function CustomSelect ({ items, placeholder, onValueChange } ) {
return (
<Select.Root onValueChange ={onValueChange} >
<Select.Trigger className ="select-trigger" >
<Select.Value placeholder ={placeholder} />
<Select.Icon >
<ChevronDownIcon />
</Select.Icon >
</Select.Trigger >
<Select.Portal >
<Select.Content className ="select-content" >
<Select.Viewport >
{items.map((item) => (
<Select.Item
key ={item.value}
value ={item.value}
className ="select-item"
>
<Select.ItemText > {item.label}</Select.ItemText >
<Select.ItemIndicator >
<CheckIcon />
</Select.ItemIndicator >
</Select.Item >
))}
</Select.Viewport >
</Select.Content >
</Select.Portal >
</Select.Root >
);
}
Pattern 2: Polymorphic Components with asChild Use case : Render as different elements without losing behavior
<Dialog .Trigger asChild>
<Link href ="/settings" > Open Settings</Link >
</Dialog .Trigger >
<DropdownMenu.Item asChild >
<YourCustomButton icon ={ <Icon /> }>Action</YourCustomButton >
</DropdownMenu.Item >
Why asChild matters : Prevents nested button/link issues in accessibility tree.
Pattern 3: Controlled vs Uncontrolled
<Tabs .Root defaultValue="tab1" >
<Tabs.Trigger value ="tab1" > Tab 1</Tabs.Trigger >
</Tabs .Root >
const [activeTab, setActiveTab] = useState ('tab1' );
<Tabs.Root value ={activeTab} onValueChange ={setActiveTab} >
<Tabs.Trigger value ="tab1" > Tab 1</Tabs.Trigger >
</Tabs.Root >
Rule : Use controlled when you need to sync with external state (URL, Redux, etc.).
Pattern 4: Animation with Framer Motion import * as Dialog from '@radix-ui/react-dialog' ;
import { motion, AnimatePresence } from 'framer-motion' ;
export function AnimatedDialog ({ open, onOpenChange } ) {
return (
<Dialog.Root open ={open} onOpenChange ={onOpenChange} >
<Dialog.Portal forceMount >
<AnimatePresence >
{open && (
<>
<Dialog.Overlay asChild >
<motion.div
initial ={{ opacity: 0 }}
animate ={{ opacity: 1 }}
exit ={{ opacity: 0 }}
className ="dialog-overlay"
/>
</Dialog.Overlay >
<Dialog.Content asChild >
<motion.div
initial ={{ opacity: 0 , scale: 0.95 }}
animate ={{ opacity: 1 , scale: 1 }}
exit ={{ opacity: 0 , scale: 0.95 }}
className ="dialog-content"
>
{/* Content */}
</motion.div >
</Dialog.Content >
</>
)}
</AnimatePresence >
</Dialog.Portal >
</Dialog .Root >
);
}

Accessibility Checklist
Every Component Must Have:
Dialog-Specific:
Dropdown-Specific:
Best Practices
✅ Do This
Always use asChild to avoid wrapper divs
<Dialog .Trigger asChild>
<button > Open</button >
</Dialog .Trigger >
Provide semantic HTML
<Dialog .Content asChild>
<article role ="dialog" aria-labelledby ="title" >
{/* content */}
</article >
</Dialog .Content >
Use CSS variables for theming
.dialog-content {
background : hsl (var (--surface));
color : hsl (var (--on-surface));
}
Compose primitives for complex components
function CommandPalette ( ) {
return (
<Dialog.Root >
<Dialog.Content >
<Combobox /> {/* Radix Combobox inside Dialog */}
</Dialog.Content >
</Dialog.Root >
);
}
❌ Don't Do This
Don't skip accessibility parts
<Dialog .Content >
<div > Content</div >
</Dialog .Content >
Don't fight the primitives
<Dialog .Content onClick={(e ) => e.stopPropagation ()}>
Don't mix controlled and uncontrolled
<Tabs .Root defaultValue="tab1" value={activeTab}>
Don't ignore keyboard navigation
<DropdownMenu .Item onKeyDown={(e ) => e.preventDefault ()}>
Real-World Examples
Example 1: Command Palette (Combo Dialog) import * as Dialog from '@radix-ui/react-dialog' ;
import { Command } from 'cmdk' ;
export function CommandPalette ( ) {
const [open, setOpen] = useState (false );
useEffect (() => {
const down = (e : KeyboardEvent ) => {
if (e.key === 'k' && (e.metaKey || e.ctrlKey )) {
e.preventDefault ();
setOpen ((open ) => !open);
}
};
document .addEventListener ('keydown' , down);
return () => document .removeEventListener ('keydown' , down);
}, []);
return (
<Dialog.Root open ={open} onOpenChange ={setOpen} >
<Dialog.Portal >
<Dialog.Overlay className ="fixed inset-0 bg-black/50" />
<Dialog.Content className ="fixed left-1/2 top-1/2 -translate-x-1/2 -translate-y-1/2" >
<Command >
<Command.Input placeholder ="Type a command..." />
<Command.List >
<Command.Empty > No results found.</Command.Empty >
<Command.Group heading ="Suggestions" >
<Command.Item > Calendar</Command.Item >
<Command.Item > Search Emoji</Command.Item >
</Command.Group >
</Command.List >
</Command >
</Dialog.Content >
</Dialog.Portal >
</Dialog.Root >
);
}
Example 2: Dropdown Menu with Icons import * as DropdownMenu from '@radix-ui/react-dropdown-menu' ;
import { DotsHorizontalIcon } from '@radix-ui/react-icons' ;
export function ActionsMenu ( ) {
return (
<DropdownMenu.Root >
<DropdownMenu.Trigger asChild >
<button className ="icon-button" aria-label ="Actions" >
<DotsHorizontalIcon />
</button >
</DropdownMenu.Trigger >
<DropdownMenu.Portal >
<DropdownMenu.Content className ="dropdown-content" align ="end" >
<DropdownMenu.Item className ="dropdown-item" >
Edit
</DropdownMenu.Item >
<DropdownMenu.Item className ="dropdown-item" >
Duplicate
</DropdownMenu.Item >
<DropdownMenu.Separator className ="dropdown-separator" />
<DropdownMenu.Item className ="dropdown-item text-red-500" >
Delete
</DropdownMenu.Item >
</DropdownMenu.Content >
</DropdownMenu.Portal >
</DropdownMenu.Root >
);
}
Example 3: Form with Radix Select + React Hook Form import * as Select from '@radix-ui/react-select' ;
import { useForm, Controller } from 'react-hook-form' ;
interface FormData {
country : string ;
}
export function CountryForm ( ) {
const { control, handleSubmit } = useForm<FormData >();
return (
<form onSubmit ={handleSubmit((data) => console.log(data))}>
<Controller
name ="country"
control ={control}
render ={({ field }) => (
<Select.Root onValueChange ={field.onChange} value ={field.value} >
<Select.Trigger className ="select-trigger" >
<Select.Value placeholder ="Select a country" />
<Select.Icon />
</Select.Trigger >
<Select.Portal >
<Select.Content className ="select-content" >
<Select.Viewport >
<Select.Item value ="us" > United States</Select.Item >
<Select.Item value ="ca" > Canada</Select.Item >
<Select.Item value ="uk" > United Kingdom</Select.Item >
</Select.Viewport >
</Select.Content >
</Select.Portal >
</Select.Root >
)}
/>
<button type ="submit" > Submit</button >
</form >
);
}
Troubleshooting
Problem: Dialog doesn't close on Escape key Cause : onEscapeKeyDown event prevented or open state not synced
<Dialog .Root open={open} onOpenChange={setOpen}>
{}
</Dialog .Root >
Problem: Dropdown menu positioning is off Cause : Parent container has overflow: hidden or transform
<DropdownMenu .Portal >
<DropdownMenu.Content />
</DropdownMenu .Portal >
Problem: Animations don't work Cause : Portal content unmounts immediately
<Dialog .Portal forceMount>
<AnimatePresence >
{open && <Dialog.Content /> }
</AnimatePresence >
</Dialog .Portal >
Problem: TypeScript errors with asChild Cause : Type inference issues with polymorphic components
<Dialog .Trigger asChild>
<button type ="button" > Open</button >
</Dialog .Trigger >
Performance Optimization
1. Code Splitting
const Dialog = lazy (() => import ('@radix-ui/react-dialog' ));
const DropdownMenu = lazy (() => import ('@radix-ui/react-dropdown-menu' ));
2. Portal Container Reuse
<Tooltip .Provider >
{}
<Tooltip .Root >...</Tooltip .Root >
<Tooltip.Root > ...</Tooltip.Root >
</Tooltip .Provider >
3. Memoization
const SelectItems = memo (({ items } ) => (
items.map ((item ) => <Select.Item key ={item.value} value ={item.value} /> )
));
Integration with Popular Tools
shadcn/ui (Built on Radix) shadcn/ui is a collection of copy-paste components built with Radix + Tailwind.
npx shadcn-ui@latest init
npx shadcn-ui@latest add dialog
When to use shadcn vs raw Radix :
Use shadcn: Quick prototyping, standard designs
Use raw Radix: Full customization, unique designs
Radix Themes (Official Styled System) import { Theme , Button , Dialog } from '@radix-ui/themes' ;
function App ( ) {
return (
<Theme accentColor ="crimson" grayColor ="sand" >
<Button > Click me</Button >
</Theme >
);
}
