# Bits UI Integration
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
[Bits UI](https://bits-ui.com/) is a **headless component library for Svelte 5**, built and maintained by Hunter Johnston ([@huntabyte](https://github.com/huntabyte)). It is the successor to Melt UI, rebuilt exclusively for Svelte 5 runes.
|
||||
|
||||
| Property | Description |
|
||||
| ----------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
||||
| **Headless** | Ships unstyled — you bring your own CSS/Tailwind classes |
|
||||
| **Accessibility-first** | WAI-ARIA compliant with keyboard navigation, focus management, and screen reader support |
|
||||
| **TypeScript-native** | Full type coverage with exported type helpers |
|
||||
| **Svelte 5 only** | Built exclusively for runes (`$state`, `$derived`, `$props`, `$bindable`, `Snippet`) |
|
||||
|
||||
## Installation
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npm install bits-ui
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
For date/time components, also install the peer dependency:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npm install @internationalized/date
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
No additional setup or configuration required — import directly:
|
||||
|
||||
```svelte
|
||||
<script lang="ts">
|
||||
import { Accordion, Button, Dialog } from 'bits-ui';
|
||||
</script>
|
||||
```

## Svelte 5 Runes Integration
|
||||
|
||||
Bits UI is built exclusively for Svelte 5 runes. It uses a **compound component pattern** (`Component.Root`, `Component.Item`, `Component.Trigger`, `Component.Content`, etc.) throughout.
|
||||
|
||||
### Bindable Props
|
||||
|
||||
Control component state with two-way bindable props:
|
||||
|
||||
```svelte
|
||||
<script lang="ts">
|
||||
import { Dialog } from 'bits-ui';
|
||||
let open = $state(false);
|
||||
</script>
|
||||
|
||||
<Dialog.Root bind:open>
|
||||
<!-- ... -->
|
||||
</Dialog.Root>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Common bindable props across components:
|
||||
|
||||
| Pattern | Example |
|
||||
| ------------------ | ------------------------------------------ |
|
||||
| `bind:open` | Dialog, Popover, DropdownMenu, Collapsible |
|
||||
| `bind:value` | Select, Combobox, Tabs, RadioGroup |
|
||||
| `bind:placeholder` | DateField, DatePicker |
|
||||
| `bind:date` | Calendar, DatePicker |
|
||||
|
||||
### Callback Props
|
||||
|
||||
Bits UI uses an `on{EventName}Change` pattern for change callbacks:
|
||||
|
||||
```svelte
|
||||
<Select.Root
|
||||
bind:value
|
||||
onValueChange={(val) => console.log('selected', val)}
|
||||
>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## The `child` Snippet Pattern (Critical)
|
||||
|
||||
Bits UI does **not** use `<slot>`. Instead, it exposes a **`child` snippet** pattern for render delegation.
|
||||
|
||||
### Basic Usage
|
||||
|
||||
```svelte
|
||||
<Accordion.Trigger>
|
||||
{#snippet child({ props })}
|
||||
<button {...props} class="my-custom-class">Trigger Label</button>
|
||||
{/snippet}
|
||||
</Accordion.Trigger>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The `child` snippet receives an object with `props` (and optionally `wrapperProps` for floating components). You must spread `{...props}` onto the root element of your rendered markup to wire up accessibility, events, and state attributes.
|
||||
|
||||
### Floating Components (Two-Level Wrapper)
|
||||
|
||||
For **floating components** — `Popover`, `Tooltip`, `DropdownMenu`, `Select`, `Combobox`, `DatePicker`, `Command` — Bits UI requires a **two-level wrapper** inside the `child` snippet:
|
||||
|
||||
```svelte
|
||||
<script lang="ts">
|
||||
import { Popover, Button } from 'bits-ui';
|
||||
let open = $state(false);
|
||||
</script>
|
||||
|
||||
<Popover.Root bind:open>
|
||||
<Popover.Trigger>
|
||||
{#snippet child({ props })}
|
||||
<button {...props} class="btn-cyan">Menu</button>
|
||||
{/snippet}
|
||||
</Popover.Trigger>
|
||||
|
||||
<Popover.Content>
|
||||
{#snippet child({ wrapperProps, props })}
|
||||
<div {...wrapperProps}>
|
||||
<div {...props} class="shadow-card w-48 border border-slate-700 bg-slate-900 p-2">
|
||||
<!-- Popover content -->
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
{/snippet}
|
||||
</Popover.Content>
|
||||
</Popover.Root>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The snippet receives:
|
||||
|
||||
- `wrapperProps` — spread onto the outermost positioning wrapper
|
||||
- `props` — spread onto the actual UI element
|
||||
- `open` — current open state (available but not needed for conditional rendering)
|
||||
|
||||
⚠️ **Do NOT wrap floating content in `{#if open}`** — bits-ui's `PresenceManager` handles visibility internally. Premature DOM removal via `{#if open}` breaks the animation lifecycle and causes `ScrollLock` to persist indefinitely (`document.body.style.pointerEvents = "none"` never gets cleared). See [Anti-Patterns](#anti-patterns--pitfalls).
|
||||
|
||||
## Tailwind CSS v4 Integration
|
||||
|
||||
Bits UI works naturally with the project's Tailwind v4 setup (see [`tailwindcss.instructions.md`](.github/instructions/tailwindcss.instructions.md)).
|
||||
|
||||
### Passing Classes
|
||||
|
||||
Pass `class` directly to any Bits UI component — they forward it to the root DOM element:
|
||||
|
||||
```svelte
|
||||
<Dialog.Content class="fixed inset-0 z-50 flex items-center justify-center">
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Data-Attribute Selectors
|
||||
|
||||
Bits UI components expose `data-*` attributes on their root elements for state-driven styling:
|
||||
|
||||
| Attribute | Applies When |
|
||||
| ------------------------- | ---------------------------------- |
|
||||
| `[data-state="open"]` | Component is open/expanded |
|
||||
| `[data-state="closed"]` | Component is closed/collapsed |
|
||||
| `[data-state="active"]` | Tab or item is active |
|
||||
| `[data-state="inactive"]` | Tab or item is inactive |
|
||||
| `[data-disabled]` | Component or item is disabled |
|
||||
| `[data-highlighted]` | Item is highlighted (keyboard nav) |
|
||||
| `[data-selected]` | Item is selected |
|
||||
|
||||
Example usage in a CSS block:
|
||||
|
||||
```css
|
||||
[data-state='open'] {
|
||||
--tw-ring-color: var(--color-cyan-500);
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### CSS Variables for Layout
|
||||
|
||||
Bits UI exposes CSS variables for measuring dynamic content:
|
||||
|
||||
| Variable | Component |
|
||||
| --------------------------------- | ------------------- |
|
||||
| `--bits-accordion-content-height` | `Accordion.Content` |
|
||||
| `--bits-select-anchor-width` | `Select.Content` |
|
||||
| `--bits-tooltip-trigger-width` | `Tooltip` |
|
||||
| `--bits-popover-anchor-width` | `Popover.Content` |
|
||||
|
||||
### Animations
|
||||
|
||||
Use `data-starting-style` and `data-ending-style` transient attributes for CSS-based enter/exit animations. These attributes are present only during the animation frame and are automatically removed.
|
||||
|
||||
## Project-Specific Integration
|
||||
|
||||
This project's technology choices align well with Bits UI:
|
||||
|
||||
| Project Trait | Bits UI Compatibility |
|
||||
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
|
||||
| **Tailwind CSS v4** (CSS-first config) | `class` prop pattern works directly — no `tailwind.config.js` required |
|
||||
| **Svelte 5 runes only** (see [`svelte5.instructions.md`](.github/instructions/svelte5.instructions.md)) | Natively compatible — Bits UI is built on runes |
|
||||
| **No `tailwind.config.js`** | Bits UI does not require one |
|
||||
| **Colors follow brand palette** | Use existing design tokens (see [`tailwindcss.instructions.md`](.github/instructions/tailwindcss.instructions.md)) |
|
||||
| **Lucide icons** (see [`icons.instructions.md`](.github/instructions/icons.instructions.md)) | Pass icon components as snippets to Bits UI components |
|
||||
|
||||
### Icon Pattern with Bits UI
|
||||
|
||||
Render Lucide SVG strings inside child snippets:
|
||||
|
||||
```svelte
|
||||
<Accordion.Trigger>
|
||||
{#snippet child({ props })}
|
||||
<button {...props} class="flex items-center gap-2">
|
||||
<!-- svelte-ignore no-at-html-tags -->
|
||||
<!-- svelte-ignore a11y_no_svg_body -->
|
||||
{@html ChevronDownIcon}
|
||||
<span>Section Title</span>
|
||||
</button>
|
||||
{/snippet}
|
||||
</Accordion.Trigger>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### `{@html}` for Inline SVGs — Last-Resort Pattern
|
||||
|
||||
The use of `{@html}` to render inline SVG strings is a **last-resort pattern** in this project. Follow the icon hierarchy below:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **`@lucide/svelte` components** — preferred for all UI icons (e.g., `<Filter size={16} />`, `<ChevronDown size={16} />`)
|
||||
2. **`simple-icons`** — for brand icons (social media platforms, tech logos)
|
||||
3. **Inline SVG via `{@html}`** — only for Bits UI child snippets where component pass-through isn't possible
|
||||
|
||||
> See [`icons.instructions.md`](.github/instructions/icons.instructions.md) for the full icon hierarchy and usage guidelines.
|
||||
|
||||
## Existing Component Overlap & Migration Guidance
|
||||
|
||||
The following custom components may have overlapping functionality with Bits UI. Migration should be **phased and deliberate** — never replace a tested, working component without a clear benefit.
|
||||
|
||||
| Component Type | Bits UI Equivalent | Priority | Rationale |
|
||||
| ------------------- | ------------------------- | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------ |
|
||||
| Custom modal/dialog | `Dialog` | Medium | Accessibility upgrade (focus trapping, ARIA, keyboard dismiss) |
|
||||
| Tabs/accordion | `Tabs` / `Accordion` | Low | Existing implementation works; reconsider if a11y issues arise |
|
||||
| Custom select | `Select` | Medium | Accessibility upgrade (keyboard nav, ARIA combobox pattern) |
|
||||
| Custom button | `Button` | Low | Keep project-specific variants |
|
||||
| (none) | `Popover` | **High** | New capability — useful for dropdown menus, filters, quick-actions |
|
||||
| (none) | `Tooltip` | **High** | New capability — useful for icon-only buttons and truncated text |
|
||||
| (none) | `Calendar` / `DatePicker` | Medium | New capability — date picking for scheduling |
|
||||
| (none) | `DropdownMenu` | **High** | New capability — contextual menus |
|
||||
|
||||
### Migration Rules
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Never migrate a tested, working component** solely for library adoption — there must be a measurable benefit (accessibility, maintainability, feature gap)
|
||||
2. When migrating, **keep the old component in place** during a transition period — do not break existing consumers
|
||||
3. Wrap Bits UI components in project-specific wrappers if the same styling is used in many places (e.g., `AppPopover.svelte` that pre-applies project styling)
|
||||
4. Run existing tests after any migration to confirm nothing is broken
|
||||
|
||||
## Usage Examples with Project Styling
|
||||
|
||||

</Dialog.Description>
|
||||
</Dialog.Header>
|
||||
<div class="mt-4 flex justify-end gap-3">

```
|
||||
|
||||
## Anti-Patterns / Pitfalls
|
||||
|
||||
- ❌ **Don't use Bits UI with Svelte 4** — it requires Svelte 5 runes and will not work

- ❌ **Don't use `<slot>` inside Bits UI components** — always use `{#snippet child(...)}` instead (see [`svelte5.instructions.md`](.github/instructions/svelte5.instructions.md))
|
||||
- ❌ **Don't forget the two-level wrapper for floating components** — `Popover`, `Tooltip`, `DropdownMenu`, `Select`, `Combobox`, `DatePicker`, and `Command` content snippets receive both `wrapperProps` and `props`
|
||||
- ❌ **Don't wrap floating content in `{#if open}`** — bits-ui's `PresenceManager` handles visibility internally. Premature DOM removal via `{#if open}` prevents `AnimationsComplete.run()` from firing its completion callback, which causes `ScrollLock` to persist indefinitely (`document.body.style.pointerEvents = "none"` and `document.body.style.overflow = "hidden"` never get cleared). This was a critical bug discovered and fixed across all floating components during Batch 5.
|
||||
- ❌ **Don't override internal handlers without `mergeProps`** — if you need to add your own event handlers while keeping Bits UI's internal handlers, import `mergeProps` from `"bits-ui"`
|
||||
- ❌ **Don't import from deep subpaths** — always import from `"bits-ui"` (e.g., `import { Dialog } from "bits-ui"`, not `import Dialog from "bits-ui/dialog"`)
