Ark UI Has a Free API You Should Know About

Ark UI is a headless component library that works across React, Vue, and Solid. Built on state machines, it provides predictable, accessible UI components.

The Framework-Agnostic Advantage

A development agency maintaining three separate component libraries for React, Vue, and Solid switched to Ark UI — one library, same API across all frameworks.

Key Features:

  • Framework Agnostic — React, Vue, and Solid from the same codebase
  • State Machine Powered — Predictable behavior
  • Fully Accessible — WAI-ARIA patterns built in
  • Headless — Zero styling opinions

Quick Start

npm install @ark-ui/react
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

React Example

import { Dialog } from "@ark-ui/react"

export function MyDialog() {
  return (
    <Dialog.Root>
      <Dialog.Trigger>Open</Dialog.Trigger>
      <Dialog.Backdrop />
      <Dialog.Positioner>
        <Dialog.Content>
          <Dialog.Title>Welcome</Dialog.Title>
          <Dialog.CloseTrigger>Close</Dialog.CloseTrigger>
        </Dialog.Content>
      </Dialog.Positioner>
    </Dialog.Root>
  )
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

40+ Components

Accordion, Checkbox, Combobox, DatePicker, Dialog, Menu, Pagination, Popover, Select, Slider, Tabs, Toast, Tooltip, and more.

Why Choose Ark UI

  1. One library, three frameworks — reduce maintenance
  2. Predictable state — state machines prevent impossible states
  3. Zero lock-in — switch frameworks without rewriting
