HeroUI v3 React Development Guide

HeroUI v3 is a component library built on Tailwind CSS v4 and React Aria Components, providing accessible, customizable UI components for React applications.

CRITICAL: v3 Only - Ignore v2 Knowledge

This guide is for HeroUI v3 ONLY. Do NOT use any prior knowledge of HeroUI v2.

What Changed in v3

WRONG (v2 patterns)

// DO NOT DO THIS - v2 pattern
import { HeroUIProvider } from "@heroui/react";
import { motion } from "framer-motion";

<HeroUIProvider>
	<Card title="Product" description="A great product" />
</HeroUIProvider>;

CORRECT (v3 patterns)

// DO THIS - v3 pattern (no provider, compound components)
import { Card } from "@heroui/react@beta";

<Card>
	<Card.Header>
		<Card.Title>Product</Card.Title>
		<Card.Description>A great product</Card.Description>
	</Card.Header>
</Card>;

Always fetch v3 docs before implementing. Do not assume v2 patterns work.

Core Principles

• Semantic variants (primary, secondary, tertiary) over visual descriptions
• Composition over configuration (compound components)
• CSS variable-based theming with oklch color space
• BEM naming convention for predictable styling

Accessing Documentation & Component Information

For component details, examples, props, and implementation patterns, always fetch documentation:

Using Scripts

# List all available components
node scripts/list_components.mjs

# Get component documentation (MDX)
node scripts/get_component_docs.mjs Button
node scripts/get_component_docs.mjs Button Card TextField

# Get component source code
node scripts/get_source.mjs Button

# Get component CSS styles (BEM classes)
node scripts/get_styles.mjs Button

# Get theme variables
node scripts/get_theme.mjs

# Get non-component docs (guides, releases)
node scripts/get_docs.mjs /docs/react/getting-started/theming

Direct MDX URLs

Component docs: https://v3.heroui.com/docs/react/components/{component-name}.mdx

Examples:

• Button: https://v3.heroui.com/docs/react/components/button.mdx
• Modal: https://v3.heroui.com/docs/react/components/modal.mdx
• Form: https://v3.heroui.com/docs/react/components/form.mdx

Getting started guides: https://v3.heroui.com/docs/react/getting-started/{topic}.mdx

Important: Always fetch component docs before implementing. The MDX docs include complete examples, props, anatomy, and API references.

Installation Essentials

CRITICAL: HeroUI v3 is currently in BETA. Always use @beta tag when installing packages.

Quick Install

npm i @heroui/styles@beta @heroui/react@beta tailwind-variants

Framework Setup (Next.js App Router - Recommended)

1. Install dependencies:

npm i @heroui/styles@beta @heroui/react@beta tailwind-variants tailwindcss @tailwindcss/postcss postcss

1. Create/update app/globals.css:

/* Tailwind CSS v4 - Must be first */
@import "tailwindcss";

/* HeroUI v3 styles - Must be after Tailwind */
@import "@heroui/styles";

1. Import in app/layout.tsx:

import "./globals.css";

export default function RootLayout({
	children,
}: {
	children: React.ReactNode;
}) {
	return (
		<html lang="en" suppressHydrationWarning>
			<body>
				{/* No Provider needed in HeroUI v3! */}
				{children}
			</body>
		</html>
	);
}

1. Configure PostCSS (postcss.config.mjs):

export default {
	plugins: {
		"@tailwindcss/postcss": {},
	},
};

Critical Setup Requirements

1. Tailwind CSS v4 is MANDATORY - HeroUI v3 will NOT work with Tailwind CSS v3
2. No Provider Required - Unlike HeroUI v2, v3 components work directly without a Provider
3. Use Compound Components - Components use compound structure (e.g., Card.Header, Card.Content)
4. Use onPress, not onClick - For better accessibility, use onPress event handlers
5. Import Order Matters - Always import Tailwind CSS before HeroUI styles

Component Patterns

HeroUI v3 uses compound component patterns. Each component has subcomponents accessed via dot notation.

Example - Card:

<Card>
	<Card.Header>
		<Card.Title>Title</Card.Title>
		<Card.Description>Description</Card.Description>
	</Card.Header>
	<Card.Content>{/* Content */}</Card.Content>
	<Card.Footer>{/* Actions */}</Card.Footer>
</Card>

Key Points:

• Always use compound structure - don't flatten to props
• Subcomponents are accessed via dot notation (e.g., Card.Header)
• Each subcomponent may have its own props
• Fetch component docs for complete anatomy and examples

Semantic Variants

HeroUI uses semantic naming to communicate functional intent:

Don't use raw colors - semantic variants adapt to themes and accessibility.

Theming

HeroUI v3 uses CSS variables with oklch color space:

:root {
	--accent: oklch(0.6204 0.195 253.83);
	--accent-foreground: var(--snow);
	--background: oklch(0.9702 0 0);
	--foreground: var(--eclipse);
}

Get current theme variables:

node scripts/get_theme.mjs

Color naming:

• Without suffix = background (e.g., --accent)
• With -foreground = text color (e.g., --accent-foreground)

Theme switching:

<html class="dark" data-theme="dark"></html>
