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
`MenuItem`	`onSelect`	`onClick`

Quick Checklist

If you used asChild on parts, switch to the render prop
Replace onSelect → onClick on menu items
Update import path from @/components/ui/dropdown-menu → @/components/ui/menu
Prefer Menu* component names; DropdownMenu* remain for legacy
Prefer MenuGroupLabel instead of DropdownMenuLabel
Prefer MenuPopup instead of DropdownMenuContent
Prefer MenuSubPopup instead of DropdownMenuSubContent
