# Meter

A high-quality, unstyled React meter component that provides a graphical display of a numeric value.

## Demo

### Tailwind

This example shows how to implement the component using Tailwind CSS.

```tsx
/* index.tsx */
import { Meter } from '@base-ui/react/meter';

export default function ExampleMeter() {
  return (
    <Meter.Root className="box-border grid w-48 grid-cols-2 gap-y-2" value={24}>
      <Meter.Label className="text-sm font-medium text-gray-900">Storage Used</Meter.Label>
      <Meter.Value className="col-start-2 m-0 text-right text-sm leading-5 text-gray-900" />
      <Meter.Track className="col-span-2 block h-2 w-48 overflow-hidden bg-gray-100 shadow-[inset_0_0_0_1px] shadow-gray-200">
        <Meter.Indicator className="block bg-gray-500 transition-all duration-500" />
      </Meter.Track>
    </Meter.Root>
  );
}
```

### CSS Modules

This example shows how to implement the component using CSS Modules.

```css
/* index.module.css */
.Meter {
  box-sizing: border-box;
  display: grid;
  grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr;
  grid-row-gap: 0.5rem;
  width: 12rem;
}

.Label {
  font-size: 0.875rem;
  line-height: 1.25rem;
  font-weight: 500;
  color: var(--color-gray-900);
}

.Value {
  grid-column-start: 2;
  margin: 0;
  font-size: 0.875rem;
  line-height: 1.25rem;
  color: var(--color-gray-900);
  text-align: right;
}

.Track {
  grid-column: 1 / 3;
  overflow: hidden;
  background-color: var(--color-gray-100);
  box-shadow: inset 0 0 0 1px var(--color-gray-200);
  height: 0.5rem;
}

.Indicator {
  background-color: var(--color-gray-500);
  transition: width 500ms;
}
```

```tsx
/* index.tsx */
import { Meter } from '@base-ui/react/meter';
import styles from './index.module.css';

export default function ExampleMeter() {
  return (
    <Meter.Root className={styles.Meter} value={24}>
      <Meter.Label className={styles.Label}>Storage Used</Meter.Label>
      <Meter.Value className={styles.Value} />
      <Meter.Track className={styles.Track}>
        <Meter.Indicator className={styles.Indicator} />
      </Meter.Track>
    </Meter.Root>
  );
}
```

## Anatomy

```jsx title="Anatomy"
import { Meter } from '@base-ui/react/meter';

<Meter.Root>
  <Meter.Label />
  <Meter.Track>
    <Meter.Indicator />
  </Meter.Track>
