# Mantine Custom Components

> Build custom components that integrate with Mantine's theming, Styles API, and core features. Use this skill when: (1) creating a new component using factory(), polymorphicFactory(), or genericFactory(), (2) adding Styles API support (classNames, styles, vars, unstyled), (3) implementing CSS variables via createVarsResolver, (4) building compound components with sub-components and shared context, (5) registering a component with MantineProvider via Component.extend(), or (6) any task involving Factory, useProps, useStyles, BoxProps, StylesApiProps, or ElementProps in @mantine/core.

# Mantine Custom Components Skill

## Component template

```tsx
import {
  Box,
  BoxProps,
  createVarsResolver,
  ElementProps,
  factory,
  Factory,
  getRadius,
  MantineRadius,
  StylesApiProps,
  useProps,
  useStyles,
} from "@mantine/core";
import classes from "./MyComponent.module.css";

export type MyComponentStylesNames = "root" | "inner";
export type MyComponentVariant = "filled" | "outline";
export type MyComponentCssVariables = { root: "--my-radius" };

export interface MyComponentProps
  extends BoxProps, StylesApiProps<MyComponentFactory>, ElementProps<"div"> {
  radius?: MantineRadius;
}

export type MyComponentFactory = Factory<{
  props: MyComponentProps;
  ref: HTMLDivElement;
  stylesNames: MyComponentStylesNames;
  vars: MyComponentCssVariables;
  variant: MyComponentVariant;
}>;

const defaultProps = { radius: "md" } satisfies Partial<MyComponentProps>;

const varsResolver = createVarsResolver<MyComponentFactory>((_theme, { radius }) => ({
  root: { "--my-radius": getRadius(radius) },
}));

export const MyComponent = factory<MyComponentFactory>((_props) => {
  const props = useProps("MyComponent", defaultProps, _props);
  const { classNames, className, style, styles, unstyled, vars, attributes, radius, ...others } =
    props;

  const getStyles = useStyles<MyComponentFactory>({
    name: "MyComponent",
    classes,
    props,
    className,
    style,
    classNames,
    styles,
    unstyled,
    vars,
    attributes,
    varsResolver,
  });

  return <Box {...getStyles("root")} {...others} />;
});

MyComponent.displayName = "@mantine/core/MyComponent";
MyComponent.classes = classes;
```

## Factory variant — which to use

| Scenario                                          | Factory function       | Type                                                               |
| ------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Standard component                                | `factory()`            | `Factory<{}>`                                                      |
| Supports `component` prop (polymorphic)           | `polymorphicFactory()` | `PolymorphicFactory<{}>` — add `defaultComponent` and `defaultRef` |
| Props change based on a generic (e.g. `multiple`) | `genericFactory()`     | `Factory<{ signature: ... }>`                                      |

Use `polymorphicFactory` sparingly — it adds TypeScript overhead and slows IDE autocomplete.

## Factory type fields

```ts
Factory<{
  props: MyComponentProps;       // required
  ref: HTMLDivElement;           // element type for the forwarded ref
  stylesNames: 'root' | 'inner'; // union of Styles API selectors
  vars: { root: '--my-var' };    // CSS variable map per selector
  variant: 'filled' | 'outline'; // accepted variant strings
  staticComponents: {            // sub-components (compound pattern)
    Item: typeof MyComponentItem;
  };
  compound?: boolean;            // true = sub-component; disables theme classNames/styles/vars
  ctx?: MyContextType;           // passed to styles/vars resolvers as third arg
  signature?: (...) => JSX.Element; // only for genericFactory
}>
```

## Theme integration

Users and the theme can override defaults via `Component.extend()`:

```ts
const theme = createTheme({
  components: {
    MyComponent: MyComponent.extend({
      defaultProps: { radius: "xl" },
      classNames: { root: "my-root" },
      styles: { root: { color: "red" } },
      vars: (_theme, props) => ({ root: { "--my-radius": getRadius(props.radius) } }),
    }),
  },
});
```
