FAQPage Schema
How do I implement accessible React UI components without importing a heavy styled library?

You can use headless UI primitives like Ark UI v5 to build accessible React components, which separates the accessibility logic from the styling layer so you can apply custom CSS Modules.

How do I style headless React components using data attributes?

Styling headless React components with data attributes involves targeting specific data attributes exposed by Ark UI v5 primitives in your CSS Modules, allowing you to style states like open or closed directly without managing internal component state.

Can I use Ark UI with React projects that require unstyled primitives for a custom design system?

Yes, Ark UI provides unstyled headless primitives specifically for React projects requiring accessible components. It handles keyboard navigation and ARIA attributes while leaving all visual styling entirely up to your custom design system.

What is the best way to create a custom modal dialog in React with CSS Modules?

The best way to create a custom modal dialog in React with CSS Modules is using the headless Dialog primitive from Ark UI v5, which handles portal rendering and focus trapping while you apply local CSS Module classes.

How do toast notifications work with a programmatic API in React?

Toast notifications with a programmatic API in React allow you to trigger messages outside the component tree. Ark UI v5 provides this pattern so you can call toast functions directly while maintaining accessibility compliance.

Do I need to install specific dependencies to use Ark UI v5 components in my React project?

Yes, you need to install the @ark-ui/react package at version 5.x to use these headless UI components, which requires a React project environment and familiarity with composition patterns like asChild.
