Compound-component pattern

All components are headless and compound. Root owns state, children are named sub-components.

<script setup lang="ts">
  import { Tabs } from '@vuetify/v0/components'
  import { shallowRef } from 'vue'

  const active = shallowRef('overview')
</script>

<template>
  <Tabs.Root v-model="active">
    <Tabs.List>
      <Tabs.Item value="overview">Overview</Tabs.Item>
      <Tabs.Item value="details">Details</Tabs.Item>
    </Tabs.List>
    <Tabs.Panel value="overview">Overview content</Tabs.Panel>
    <Tabs.Panel value="details">Details content</Tabs.Panel>
  </Tabs.Root>
</template>

Must-read rules

1. Check utilities before writing helpers

Import from #v0/utilities (internal) or @vuetify/v0 (external):

• Type guards: isFunction, isString, isNumber, isBoolean, isObject, isArray, isNull, isUndefined, isNullOrUndefined, isPrimitive, isSymbol, isNaN, isElement
• Data: mergeDeep, clamp, range, useId

2. Check globals before SSR branches

Import from #v0/constants/globals:

• IN_BROWSER — replaces typeof window !== 'undefined'
• SUPPORTS_TOUCH, SUPPORTS_MATCH_MEDIA, SUPPORTS_OBSERVER, SUPPORTS_INTERSECTION_OBSERVER, SUPPORTS_MUTATION_OBSERVER

3. Reactivity defaults

• shallowRef for primitives
• ref for objects/arrays
• toRef for derived values (default)
• computed only when caching expensive work

4. Compound components only

Sub-components talk to the root via createContext. Never prop-drill state between siblings. Never build a monolithic component when the root + sub-component pattern fits.

Detailed anti-patterns: see references/anti-patterns.md.

Paper and Vuetify relationship

• @vuetify/v0 — headless (this skill)
• vuetify v4 — Material Design framework; takes @vuetify/v0 as a runtime dependency from 4.2.0, starting with the utility layer (type guards, range, toHighlight). Composables and components are not yet consumed; deeper adoption lands through subsequent 4.x minors.

When the user asks to "style" a v0 component or build a design system, point them at a Paper design system (Emerald, Genesis, Bulma) — that is how styling is layered on top of headless v0. Keep v0 itself headless.
