Accessibility guidelines

To ensure that toolbars are accessible and helpful, follow these guidelines:

Use inputs sparingly: Left and right arrow keys are used to both move the text insertion cursor in an input, and to navigate among controls in horizontal toolbars. When using an input in a horizontal toolbar, use only one and place it as the last element of the toolbar.

Anatomy

Import the component and assemble its parts:

Examples

All Base UI popup components that provide a Trigger component can be integrated with a toolbar by passing the trigger to Toolbar.Button with the render prop:

Using popups with toolbar

return (
  <Toolbar.Root>
    <Menu.Root>
      <Toolbar.Button render={<Menu.Trigger />} />
      <Menu.Portal>
        {/* Compose the rest of the menu */}
      </Menu.Portal>
    </Menu.Root>
  </Toolbar.Root>
)

This applies to AlertDialog, Dialog, Menu, Popover and Select.

Unlike other popups, the toolbar item should be passed to the render prop of Tooltip.Trigger:

Using popups with toolbar

return (
  <Toolbar.Root>
    <Tooltip.Root>
      <Tooltip.Trigger render={<Toolbar.Button />} />
      <Tooltip.Portal>
        {/* Compose the rest of the tooltip */}
      </Tooltip.Portal>
    </Tooltip.Root>
  </Toolbar.Root>
)

Using with NumberField

To use a NumberField in the toolbar, pass NumberField.Input to Toolbar.Input using the render prop:

Using NumberField with toolbar

return (
  <Toolbar.Root>
    <NumberField.Root>
      <NumberField.Group>
        <NumberField.Decrement />
        <Toolbar.Input render={<NumberField.Input />} />
        <NumberField.Increment />
      </NumberField.Group>
    </NumberField.Root>
  </Toolbar.Root>
)
