Usage
usage.tsx
import { Hitbox } from "@/registry/bases/radix/components/hitbox";import { Checkbox } from "@/registry/bases/radix/ui/checkbox";export default function Example() { return ( <Hitbox position="horizontal"> <Checkbox /> </Hitbox> );}- Use it to compare the available `Hitbox` position modes during component development.
- Use it as a reference when enlarging a checkbox or other compact control's clickable area.
- Use it to verify how directional hit areas behave in responsive layouts.
- Use it when documenting or testing the `debug` visualization of hitbox boundaries.
Examples
Default all-sided hitbox
Expands the interactive area around the checkbox on every side.
default-all-sided-hitbox.tsx
import { Hitbox } from "@/registry/bases/radix/components/hitbox";import { Checkbox } from "@/registry/bases/radix/ui/checkbox";export default function AllSidesExample() { return ( <Hitbox> <Checkbox aria-label="Select item" /> </Hitbox> );}Top-only hitbox
Adds hit-area space above the checkbox while preserving the other sides.
top-only-hitbox.tsx
import { Hitbox } from "@/registry/bases/radix/components/hitbox";import { Checkbox } from "@/registry/bases/radix/ui/checkbox";export default function TopExample() { return ( <Hitbox position="top"> <Checkbox aria-label="Select item" /> </Hitbox> );}Debugging a vertical hitbox
Shows the expanded vertical hit area for development and visual verification.
debugging-a-vertical-hitbox.tsx
import { Hitbox } from "@/registry/bases/radix/components/hitbox";import { Checkbox } from "@/registry/bases/radix/ui/checkbox";export default function VerticalDebugExample() { return ( <Hitbox position="vertical" debug> <Checkbox aria-label="Select item" /> </Hitbox> );}Right-side hitbox
Expands the clickable region toward the right side of the control.
right-side-hitbox.tsx
import { Hitbox } from "@/registry/bases/radix/components/hitbox";import { Checkbox } from "@/registry/bases/radix/ui/checkbox";export default function RightExample() { return ( <Hitbox position="right"> <Checkbox aria-label="Select item" /> </Hitbox> );}API reference
PropTypeDefaultDescription
position"top" | "bottom" | "left" | "right" | "vertical" | "horizontal" | "all""all"Controls which side or sides receive the expanded hit area.
debugbooleanfalseEnables the visual debug treatment for the hitbox region.
childrenReact.ReactNode—The control or content contained within the hitbox.
classNamestring—Additional CSS classes merged onto the hitbox element.
Accessibility
- The hitbox enlarges the target area but does not replace the accessible name or semantics of its child control.
- Provide an accessible label for an unlabeled `Checkbox`, using visible text or `aria-label` as appropriate.
- Ensure the expanded region does not overlap nearby controls in a way that creates ambiguous pointer or keyboard interaction.
- Use `debug` for development and testing; disable it in production unless the visual boundary is intentionally part of the design.
