Canonical dependency: @base-ui/react. Radix counterpart: @radix-ui/react-direction. Registry dependencies are resolved automatically.

Behavior contract

A div dir attribute wraps Base UI Direction Provider.

Horizontal component keys follow the scoped reading direction.

Light and dark themes, logical RTL layout, reduced motion, responsive content, and forwarded public refs.

Source-derived reference

These public React parts are read directly from the canonical source during the documentation build.

Composes React.HTMLAttributes<HTMLDivElement> & { direction: "ltr" | "rtl"; }

Troubleshooting

If the material is missing, confirm the registry-installed shared and component CSS files are imported once.
If interaction differs, preserve this contract: Horizontal component keys follow the scoped reading direction.
If assistive output differs, preserve this semantic foundation: A div dir attribute wraps Base UI Direction Provider.
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

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

Interactive inspection

Load the real component preview when you are ready to interact with its responsive, theme, and direction controls.

Radix UI counterpart

Load the separately installable Radix counterpart when you are ready to interact with its real behavior.

The registry payload stays off the initial page request.
