[!NOTE]

As of version 8, this package is no longer compatible with Chakra UI version 2.

For compatibility with Chakra UI version 2, use @react-querybuilder/chakra2.

Usage

To configure the query builder to use Chakra-compatible components, place QueryBuilderChakra above QueryBuilder and beneath ChakraProvider in the component hierarchy.

import { ChakraProvider, createSystem, defaultConfig, Theme } from '@chakra-ui/react';
import { QueryBuilderChakra } from '@react-querybuilder/chakra';
import { useState } from 'react';
import { type Field, QueryBuilder, type RuleGroupType } from 'react-querybuilder';

const chakraTheme = createSystem(defaultConfig);

const fields: Field[] = [
  { name: 'firstName', label: 'First Name' },
  { name: 'lastName', label: 'Last Name' },
];

export function App() {
  const [query, setQuery] = useState<RuleGroupType>({ combinator: 'and', rules: [] });

  return (
    <ChakraProvider value={chakraTheme}>
      <Theme colorPalette="teal">
        <QueryBuilderChakra>
          <QueryBuilder fields={fields} defaultQuery={query} onQueryChange={setQuery} />
        </QueryBuilderChakra>
      </Theme>
    </ChakraProvider>
  );
}

[!NOTE]

Some additional styling may be necessary. We recommend the following:

.queryBuilder .chakra-native-select__root {
  width: fit-content;
  display: inline-block;
}

.queryBuilder .chakra-input {
  width: auto;
  display: inline-block;
}

QueryBuilderChakra is a React context provider that assigns the following props to all descendant QueryBuilder elements. The props can be overridden on the QueryBuilder or used directly without the context provider.

Export	QueryBuilder prop
chakraControlElements	controlElements
chakraTranslations	translations
ChakraActionElement	controlElements.actionElement
ChakraNotToggle	controlElements.notToggle
ChakraValueEditor	controlElements.valueEditor
ChakraValueSelector	controlElements.valueSelector

[!TIP]

By default, this package uses icons from react-icons for button labels. To reset button labels to their default strings, use defaultTranslations from react-querybuilder.

<QueryBuilderChakra translations={defaultTranslations}>

Changelog

[v8.7.1] - 2025-06-09

Added

• CSS/SCSS variable rqb-base-color. rqb-background-color is rqb-base-color with 20% opacity (effectively the same color as before, just calculated differently).
• maxLevels prop to limit the addition of new rule groups beyond the specified nesting level. Default is Infinity (allows unlimited levels), and values other than 1 or greater will be ignored.
