MUI Releases Base UI 1 with 35 Accessible Components
"Base UI, an unstyled React component library from the creators of Radix, Floating UI, and Material UI, has released version 1, marking the project's transition to production-ready stability after two years of development. The release ships with 35 accessible components, breaking changes for package naming, and a commitment to long-term maintenance from a dedicated team. The 1.x release introduces several refinements to the developer experience compared to earlier versions,"
"Developers building with Base UI benefit from the library's headless architecture, which provides full control over styling while maintaining robust accessibility features. Unlike traditional component libraries that bundle opinionated styles, Base UI components come completely unstyled, allowing teams to implement their own design systems without fighting against default CSS. The components handle complex interaction patterns, keyboard navigation, focus management, and ARIA attributes, ensuring WCAG compliance out of the box while giving developers the freedom to style components however they choose."
Base UI version 1 provides a production-ready, unstyled React component library containing 35 accessible components and a dedicated long-term maintenance commitment. The release renames the package from @base-ui-components/react to @base-ui/react, requiring updated import statements and package.json dependencies while keeping import syntax largely unchanged. Component APIs were refined using lessons from Radix UI and accessibility features were enhanced across all components. Performance optimizations and improved integration with Tailwind CSS, CSS Modules, and CSS-in-JS libraries are included. The headless architecture grants full styling control while enforcing keyboard navigation, focus management, ARIA attributes, and WCAG compliance.
