CratisComponentsProvider

Single setup point for Cratis Components. Wraps PrimeReact’s PrimeReactProvider so the package can layer Cratis-wide defaults on top of PrimeReact’s pass-through and unstyled mechanisms while still letting the consumer take complete control.

Purpose

• Hosts the PrimeReact pt / unstyled / ptOptions / inputStyle / ripple / appendTo / zIndex / locale configuration for every Cratis wrapper below it in the tree.

• Deep-merges Cratis-wide defaults with the consumer’s value, so future Cratis defaults can land without breaking consumer overrides.

• Re-exported from the package root so the recommended setup is one import:

  import { CratisComponentsProvider } from '@cratis/components';

Basic usage

Mount once at the root of your tree:

import '@cratis/components/styles';
import { CratisComponentsProvider } from '@cratis/components';

export const App = () => (
    <CratisComponentsProvider>
        <YourApp />
    </CratisComponentsProvider>
);

Configuring pt / unstyled globally

The value prop accepts the full PrimeReact APIOptions shape. The most commonly used members are unstyled, pt, ptOptions, inputStyle, ripple, and appendTo:

import { CratisComponentsProvider } from '@cratis/components';
import { globalPt } from './pt-preset';

export const App = () => (
    <CratisComponentsProvider value={{ unstyled: true, pt: globalPt }}>
        <YourApp />
    </CratisComponentsProvider>
);

The value is deep-merged with the Cratis defaults (currently empty) so consumer settings always win. Pass a stable reference (a module-level constant or a useMemo result) to avoid unnecessary re-renders.

Props

value

Partial<APIOptions> — Cratis-wide and PrimeReact pass-through configuration. Merged on top of the library’s defaults and made available to every Cratis component below in the tree.

The most useful members:

Member	Purpose
unstyled	When true, disables every PrimeReact base style. Combine with pt (or per-component CSS / Tailwind) to fully restyle.
pt	Per-component pass-through configuration. Keys are PrimeReact component names (button, dialog, inputtext, …); values are slot configuration objects.
ptOptions	Controls merge vs. replace behavior for pt. Default is { mergeSections: true } which merges per-instance pt with the global preset.
inputStyle	'outlined' or 'filled' — switches the default input rendering across the whole app.
ripple	Enables PrimeReact’s ripple animation on supported components.
appendTo	Where overlays mount (document.body, 'self', or a DOM ref). The Cratis Dropdown defaults to document.body independently of this setting.
zIndex	Per-overlay-type z-index baseline ({ modal: 1100, overlay: 1000, … }).
locale	PrimeReact locale string.

The full type is re-exported as CratisComponentsConfig.

React.ReactNode — your application tree.

Using PrimeReactProvider directly

CratisComponentsProvider is optional. If you’d rather mount PrimeReact’s own provider directly, that works too — every Cratis wrapper reads the same context:

import { PrimeReactProvider } from 'primereact/api';

export const App = () => (
    <PrimeReactProvider value={{ unstyled: true, pt: globalPt }}>
        <YourApp />
    </PrimeReactProvider>
);

The Cratis provider exists to give Cratis one place to layer in defaults later without breaking consumers, and to keep the setup discoverable from a single import path.

Pure helpers (testing / library extension)

The merge logic is exported so the contract can be verified without rendering React:

import { mergeCratisComponentsConfig, cratisDefaults } from '@cratis/components';

const merged = mergeCratisComponentsConfig({ unstyled: true, pt: myPt });
// → { ...cratisDefaults, unstyled: true, pt: myPt }

Export	Description
CratisComponentsProvider	The React component.
CratisComponentsProviderProps	Props type.
CratisComponentsConfig	Alias for Partial<APIOptions>.
cratisDefaults	The Cratis-wide defaults that ship today (currently {}).
mergeCratisComponentsConfig	Pure deep-merge helper used inside the provider.
