Usage
usage.tsx
import { Item, ItemContent, ItemDescription, ItemGroup, ItemMedia, ItemTitle,} from "@/components/ui/item"export function Example() { return ( <ItemGroup> <Item> <ItemMedia variant="icon">A</ItemMedia> <ItemContent> <ItemTitle>Account</ItemTitle> <ItemDescription>Manage your profile and preferences.</ItemDescription> </ItemContent> </Item> </ItemGroup> )}- Present related entries as a vertically spaced group, such as settings, search results, or account details.
- Pair a title and description with optional leading media and trailing actions.
- Use the size variants to make rows more compact in dense lists or menus.
- Add a separator between related rows when the group needs clearer visual divisions.
Examples
Outlined item with an action
Use an outlined row with supporting text and a trailing action.
outlined-item-with-an-action.tsx
import { Item, ItemActions, ItemContent, ItemDescription, ItemGroup, ItemTitle,} from "@/components/ui/item"export function AccountItem() { return ( <ItemGroup> <Item variant="outline"> <ItemContent> <ItemTitle>Billing</ItemTitle> <ItemDescription>View invoices and payment methods.</ItemDescription> </ItemContent> <ItemActions> <button type="button">Manage</button> </ItemActions> </Item> </ItemGroup> )}Compact item with thumbnail
Use the image media variant and extra-small sizing for a dense result.

import { Item, ItemContent, ItemDescription, ItemGroup, ItemMedia, ItemTitle,} from "@/components/ui/item"export function SearchResult() { return ( <ItemGroup> <Item size="xs" variant="muted"> <ItemMedia variant="image"> <img src="/cover.jpg" alt="Book cover" /> </ItemMedia> <ItemContent> <ItemTitle>Design Systems</ItemTitle> <ItemDescription>A practical guide to reusable interfaces.</ItemDescription> </ItemContent> </Item> </ItemGroup> )}Grouped items with a separator
Compose multiple rows and insert a horizontal separator between them.
grouped-items-with-a-separator.tsx

PropTypeDefaultDescription

ItemGroupReact.ComponentProps<"div">—Accepts div props, including children and className. Sets role="list" by default.

Accessibility
- ItemGroup sets role="list" by default, but the item components do not add listitem roles; provide appropriate semantics if required by the surrounding interface.
- Item renders a div by default and is not inherently keyboard-interactive. If an item acts as a control, render an appropriate interactive element and provide its expected keyboard behavior and accessible name.
- Item supports visible focus styling through focus-visible classes when the rendered element can receive focus.
- Provide meaningful alt text for informative images inside ItemMedia; use empty alt text for decorative images.
