Radix Themes

This guide shows you how to integrate the Radix Themes component library into your Wasp application.

Setting up Radix Themes​

1. Install Radix Themes​

Install the Radix Themes package:

npm install @radix-ui/themes

2. Create a Root Component if it doesn't exist​

Due to how Radix works, we'll need to have a single component that wraps all the pages in our app. In Wasp, this is done through the rootComponent configuration:

main.wasp
app MyApp {
  wasp: {
    version: "^0.21.0"
  },
  title: "My App",
  client: {
    rootComponent: import { Layout } from "@src/Layout",
  }
}

If you already have a root component in your Wasp app, open that file and skip to the next step. If you don't have one, create a new file with an empty component that will serve as the root:

src/Layout.jsx
export function Layout({ children }) {
  return children;
}

3. Add Radix Themes to your root component​

In your root component, we'll wrap the children with Radix Theme's Theme component, and import their CSS stylesheet:

src/Layout.jsx
import "@radix-ui/themes/styles.css";
import { Theme } from "@radix-ui/themes";

export function Layout({ children }) {
  return <Theme>{children}</Theme>;
}

4. Use Radix Themes components​

Now you can use Radix Themes components anywhere in your application:

src/MainPage.jsx
import { Flex, Text, Button } from "@radix-ui/themes";

export const MainPage = () => {
  return (
    <Flex direction="column" gap="2">
      <Text>Hello from Radix Themes :)</Text>
      <Button>Let's go</Button>
    </Flex>
  );
};

That's it!

Customizing the theme​

You can customize the theme by passing props to the Theme component:

src/Layout.jsx
import "@radix-ui/themes/styles.css";
import { Theme } from "@radix-ui/themes";

export function Layout({ children }) {
  return (
    <Theme accentColor="crimson" grayColor="sand" radius="large" scaling="95%">
      {children}
    </Theme>
  );
}

See the Radix Themes documentation for more customization options.
