New

HeroUI v3.0.0-rc.1

We're excited to share that RC-1 is now live. This is the last release before stable.

This release introduces 7 new components → Drawer, ToggleButton, ToggleButtonGroup, Meter, ProgressBar, ProgressCircle, and Toolbar. It also brings virtualization to Table and ListBox, a new ButtonGroup Separator sub-component with vertical orientation support, granular per-component subpath imports, and upgrades React Aria Components to v1.16.0.

Release notes: https://v3.heroui.com/docs/react/releases/v3-0-0-rc-1

New components

  • Drawer — slide-out panel with drag-to-dismiss, 4 placements (top/bottom/left/right), backdrop variants, and full compound composition

  • ToggleButton — stateful toggle with all button variants, icon-only mode, controlled or uncontrolled

  • ToggleButtonGroup — single or multi-select toggle group, attached/detached layouts, vertical orientation, and Separator sub-component

  • Meter — value within a known range (disk usage, password strength, quotas) with Track and Fill composition

  • ProgressBar — linear progress with determinate + indeterminate states, color variants, and custom value display

  • ProgressCircle — circular SVG progress with customizable TrackCircle and FillCircle sub-components

  • Toolbar — groups buttons, toggle buttons, and separators with horizontal or vertical orientation

Improvements and fixes

  • Table & ListBox virtualization — render 1000+ rows via React Aria's Virtualizer, TableLayout, and ListLayout (re-exported from @heroui/react)

  • ButtonGroup Separator sub-component + vertical orientation + inset focus rings

  • Granular per-component subpath imports (import { Button } from "@heroui/react/button")

  • ButtonGroup root upgraded from <div> to React Aria's Group for proper role="group" semantics

  • React Aria Components upgraded from v1.15.1 to v1.16.0

  • @internationalized/date upgraded from v3.11.0 to v3.12.0

  • InputGroup focus styles scoped to actual input/textarea focus
