Prop contracts

Each exported part accepts the underlying native, Base UI, or documented Radix prop contract. Inspect the selected source below for exact generic types.

Troubleshooting

Check behavior before surface.

If the material is missing, confirm the registry-installed shared and component CSS files are imported once.
If interaction differs, preserve this contract: Tab is contained; Escape dismisses.
If assistive output differs, preserve this semantic foundation: Base UI dialog with title, description, backdrop, viewport, and restoration.
If dark, RTL, or reduced-motion behavior is missing, verify the nearest theme, direction, and media-query boundaries rather than adding page-local overrides.

Live product source

Inspect the canonical states

The Component Lab exercises real source across default, focus, disabled, responsive, dark, reduced-motion, and RTL contexts.

Interactive inspection

Try Dialog in context

Resize the canvas, switch its theme, or reverse its reading direction without changing the rest of the page.

Radix UI counterpart

Try Dialog with Radix UI

This is the real separately installable Radix source using the same Gummy material and behavior contract.
