Question 1

What is Chumlab UI?

Accepted Answer

Chumlab UI is an open-source React component library with production-grade, accessible, and fully themeable UI components. Built with TypeScript and Tailwind CSS v4, it provides keyboard navigation, WCAG 2.1 AA compliance, unstyled mode, and zero vendor lock-in.

Question 2

How do I install Chumlab UI?

Accepted Answer

Install via npm: npm install @chumlab/ui. Chumlab UI requires React 18+ and React DOM 18+ as peer dependencies. Then import components like: import { Button, Input } from '@chumlab/ui'.

Question 3

Is Chumlab UI accessible?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every component ships with ARIA roles and states (WAI-ARIA 1.2), full keyboard navigation, focus management and trapping for modals and drawers, screen reader announcements via aria-live regions, and prefers-reduced-motion support. All components target WCAG 2.1 AA compliance.

Question 4

How is Chumlab UI different from other React component libraries?

Accepted Answer

Chumlab UI combines production-ready defaults with full customizability. Unlike headless libraries, it ships with polished styles. Unlike opinionated libraries, every component supports an unstyled mode, surgical CSS class overrides via the classes prop, and data-* attributes for CSS targeting. It uses zero runtime CSS-in-JS and is built on Tailwind CSS v4 for optimal performance.

Question 5

What components does Chumlab UI include?

Accepted Answer

Chumlab UI includes a growing collection of components: Button, Input, TextArea, Checkbox, Switch, RadioButton, Slider, DatePicker, TimePicker, OtpInput, InternationalPhoneInput, Dropdown, SearchableDropdown, MultiSelectDropdown, MultiSelectSearchableDropdown, CascadingDropdown, Modal, Drawer, Tooltip, Toast, Table, Accordion, Avatar, Breadcrumb, Pagination, TabPanel, Stepper, Loader, CountryFlag, and ResizablePanel.

Question 6

What is the Chumlab AI Playground?

Accepted Answer

The Chumlab AI Playground is an in-product assistant that turns a plain-English prompt or an uploaded screenshot into production-ready React and Next.js code built with the Chumlab UI components you already ship with. It breaks the requirement into a task plan, generates typed, accessible JSX, and shows a live preview of the rendered component.
