Toolbar
A container for grouping a set of buttons and controls.
View as MarkdownAccessibility guidelines
To ensure that toolbars are accessible and helpful, follow these guidelines:
- Use inputs sparingly: Left and right arrow keys are used to both move the text insertion cursor in an input, and to navigate among controls in horizontal toolbars. When using an input in a horizontal toolbar, use only one and place it as the last element of the toolbar.

Examples
Using with Menu
All Base UI popup components that provide a Trigger component can be integrated with a toolbar by passing the trigger to Toolbar.Button with the render prop:
return (
<Toolbar.Root>
<Menu.Root>
<Toolbar.Button render={<Menu.Trigger />} />
<Menu.Portal>
{/* Compose the rest of the menu */}
</Menu.Portal>
</Menu.Root>
</Toolbar.Root>
)This applies to AlertDialog, Dialog, Menu, Popover and Select.
Using with Tooltip
Unlike other popups, the toolbar item should be passed to the render prop of Tooltip.Trigger:
return (
<Toolbar.Root>
<Tooltip.Root>
<Tooltip.Trigger render={<Toolbar.Button />} />
<Tooltip.Portal>
{/* Compose the rest of the tooltip */}
</Tooltip.Portal>
</Tooltip.Root>
</Toolbar.Root>
)Using with NumberField
To use a NumberField in the toolbar, pass NumberField.Input to Toolbar.Input using the render prop:
return (
<Toolbar.Root>
<NumberField.Root>
<NumberField.Group>
<NumberField.Decrement />
<Toolbar.Input render={<NumberField.Input />} />
<NumberField.Increment />
</NumberField.Group>
</NumberField.Root>
</Toolbar.Root>
)
