Comparing with Radix / shadcn

If you’re already familiar with Radix UI and shadcn/ui, this guide highlights the small differences and similarities so you can get started with loveui quickly.

Prop Mapping

Component	Radix UI Prop	Base UI Prop
`Accordion`	`type` (enum, `"single"` or `"multiple"`)	`multiple` (boolean, default: `true`)
`Accordion`	`collapsible`	removed

Quick Checklist

Replace type="single" → multiple={false} on Accordion
Remove type="multiple" from Accordion
Remove collapsible from Accordion
Always use arrays for defaultValue
Use AccordionPanel going forward; AccordionContent remains for legacy
If you used asChild on parts, switch to the render prop

Comparison Example

shadcn/ui

<Accordion type="multiple" collapsible defaultValue="item-1">
  <AccordionItem value="item-1">
    <AccordionTrigger>Title</AccordionTrigger>
    <AccordionContent>Content</AccordionContent>
  </AccordionItem>
</Accordion>

loveui

<Accordion multiple={false} defaultValue={["item-1"]}>
  <AccordionItem value="item-1">
    <AccordionTrigger>Title</AccordionTrigger>
    <AccordionPanel>Content</AccordionPanel>
  </AccordionItem>
</Accordion>
