Action Bar
ActionBar is a client-side, fixed-position toolbar that renders through a portal and supports grouped, keyboard-navigable action items. It includes selection content, separators, a close control, RTL direction support, and horizontal or vertical orientation.

Usage
usage.tsx
import { ActionBar, ActionBarGroup, ActionBarItem } from "@/components/ui/action-bar";export function Example() { return ( <ActionBar open onOpenChange={() => {}}> <ActionBarGroup> <ActionBarItem onSelect={() => {}}>Archive</ActionBarItem> <ActionBarItem onSelect={() => {}}>Delete</ActionBarItem> </ActionBarGroup> </ActionBar> );}- Use for bulk actions on selected rows, files, messages, or other content.
- Use for a persistent contextual action strip near the top or bottom edge of the viewport.
- Use when actions need roving keyboard focus with arrow-key, Home, and End navigation.
- Use for a small set of related actions with optional selection counts, separators, and a close action.
Examples
Bulk selection actions
Show a selected-item count with common bulk actions and a close control.
bulk-selection-actions.tsx
import { ActionBar, ActionBarClose, ActionBarGroup, ActionBarItem, ActionBarSelection,} from "@/components/ui/action-bar";export function BulkSelectionActionBar() { return ( <ActionBar open onOpenChange={() => {}} aria-label="Selected item actions"> <ActionBarSelection>3 selected</ActionBarSelection> <ActionBarGroup> <ActionBarItem onSelect={() => {}}>Archive</ActionBarItem> <ActionBarItem onSelect={() => {}}>Move</ActionBarItem> <ActionBarItem onSelect={() => {}}>Delete</ActionBarItem> </ActionBarGroup> <ActionBarClose aria-label="Clear selection">×</ActionBarClose> </ActionBar> );}Toolbar with separators
Organize formatting and sharing actions into visual groups.
toolbar-with-separators.tsx
import { ActionBar, ActionBarGroup, ActionBarItem, ActionBarSeparator,} from "@/components/ui/action-bar";export function DocumentActionBar() { return ( <ActionBar open side="top" align="end" onOpenChange={() => {}}> <ActionBarGroup> <ActionBarItem onSelect={() => {}}>Edit</ActionBarItem> <ActionBarItem onSelect={() => {}}>Duplicate</ActionBarItem> </ActionBarGroup> <ActionBarSeparator /> <ActionBarGroup> <ActionBarItem onSelect={() => {}}>Share</ActionBarItem> <ActionBarItem onSelect={() => {}}>Export</ActionBarItem> </ActionBarGroup> </ActionBar> );}Vertical action bar
Use vertical orientation for a compact contextual menu with disabled actions.
vertical-action-bar.tsx
import { ActionBar, ActionBarGroup, ActionBarItem, ActionBarSeparator,} from "@/components/ui/action-bar";export function VerticalActionBar() { return ( <ActionBar open orientation="vertical" align="start" onOpenChange={() => {}}> <ActionBarGroup> <ActionBarItem onSelect={() => {}}>Open</ActionBarItem> <ActionBarItem onSelect={() => {}} disabled> Pin </ActionBarItem> <ActionBarSeparator /> <ActionBarItem onSelect={() => {}}>Remove</ActionBarItem> </ActionBarGroup> </ActionBar> );}API reference
PropTypeDefaultDescription
ActionBarReact.ComponentProps<"div"> & { asChild?: boolean; open?: boolean; onOpenChange?: (open: boolean) => void; onEscapeKeyDown?: (event: KeyboardEvent) => void; align?: "start" | "center" | "end"; alignOffset?: number; side?: "top" | "bottom"; sideOffset?: number; portalContainer?: Element | DocumentFragment | null; dir?: "ltr" | "rtl"; orientation?: "horizontal" | "vertical"; loop?: boolean }open=false; side="bottom"; alignOffset=0; align="center"; sideOffset=16; orientation="horizontal"; loop=trueRenders the fixed, portaled toolbar. It returns null when open is false or no portal container is available. Escape calls onEscapeKeyDown and closes unless the event is prevented.
ActionBarSelectionReact.ComponentProps<"div"> & { asChild?: boolean }—Displays selection metadata such as a selected-item count. Supports all native div props and Slot-based asChild rendering.
ActionBarGroupReact.ComponentProps<"div"> & { asChild?: boolean }—Groups action items and provides roving focus behavior. Supports all native div props and Slot-based asChild rendering.
ActionBarItemOmit<React.ComponentProps<typeof Button>, "onSelect"> & { onSelect?: (event: Event) => void }—Renders the registry Button with type="button", variant="secondary", and size="sm". It closes the ActionBar after selection unless the custom item-select event is prevented. It inherits all Button props except Button's onSelect, and adds an onSelect callback receiving a native Event.
ActionBarCloseReact.ComponentProps<"button"> & { asChild?: boolean }—Closes the ActionBar after its click handler unless the click event is prevented. Supports all native button props and Slot-based asChild rendering.
ActionBarSeparatorReact.ComponentProps<"div"> & { asChild?: boolean; orientation?: "horizontal" | "vertical" }orientation follows the parent ActionBar orientationRenders an aria-hidden separator. Its explicit orientation overrides the parent orientation; it supports all native div props and Slot-based asChild rendering.
Accessibility
- ActionBar renders with role="toolbar" and exposes aria-orientation based on its orientation prop.
- ActionBarGroup renders with role="group" and manages a roving tab stop so only the active item is in the normal tab sequence.
- ActionBarItem supports ArrowLeft/ArrowRight in horizontal orientation, ArrowUp/ArrowDown in vertical orientation, and Home/End navigation; horizontal arrows are direction-aware for RTL.
- Disabled items are excluded from focus navigation and prevent mouse focus.
- Escape invokes onEscapeKeyDown and closes the bar unless the handler calls preventDefault().
- ActionBarClose and ActionBarItem use button semantics by default; provide aria-label when their visible content is icon-only.
- ActionBarSeparator uses role="separator", aria-orientation, and aria-hidden="true" because it is decorative.
- The component includes motion-reduced classes that disable entrance animation and transition for users who prefer reduced motion.
- Use a meaningful accessible name such as aria-label on the toolbar when its visible content does not sufficiently identify its purpose.
