7 React UI Component Libraries for Building Beautiful Interfaces

Introduction

There was a time when you have to build something, you have to start from scratch. But in today's world, there are lots of libraries that can help you in building applications more quickly and effectively. These tools and libraries help in increasing productivity for a developer.

One such field where this library is quite helpful is building components. Now, frontend development is all about component building. React is one such framework that boosted building components. Various libraries can help you in building beautiful components for your React application.

Today, we are going to look into some React UI component libraries that can be a great way to build beautiful and functional user interfaces more quickly and easily.

Now, let's get started.

Chakra UI

Simple, Modular and Accessible UI Components for your React Applications. Built with Styled System

Chakra UI

I can't stop talking about Chakra UI as it has become my favorite UI component-building library. It is so easy to use with React and its framework. With using Chakra UI, the time required to build a webpage has decreased for me.

In my previous article, I also discussed its feature of it. Here are those:

  • Easy to use
  • Many Components
  • Easily Customizable as per UI
  • Can help build frontend in much less time

The design kit for the component is quite good with components and typography. I like the overall look of the Chakra UI components.


Ant Design

An enterprise-class UI design language and React UI library with a set of high-quality React components, one of best React UI library for enterprises.

Ant Design

Ant Design is a good library. I started using it initially with React. I like the documentation of the library as it is easy to navigate and understand different components.

The component design is slim and trim. It implies that the font is in small sizes and the button does not take as much space as Chakra UI. This is by default, you can always change both.


Material UI

MUI provides a simple, customizable, and accessible library of React components. Follow your own design system, or start with Material Design.

Material UI

It is one of the popular React UI component libraries that provides a range of customizable components based on Google's Material Design guidelines. Material-UI is also fully responsive and mobile-friendly, which means that your application will look great on any device.

In addition to the UI components, Material-UI provides a range of tools and utilities that can help you build better React applications. For example, it includes a robust set of icons, a comprehensive set of hooks for managing state, and tools for integrating with popular data visualization libraries.


Semantic UI React

Semantic UI React provides React components while Semantic UI provides themes as CSS stylesheets.

Semantic UI React

The library is built on top of Semantic UI, a CSS framework that provides a range of UI components based on natural language principles. Semantic UI React includes a theming system that allows you to customize the look and feel of your application.

You can choose from a range of pre-built themes or create your own by customizing the variables in the theme file.


BlueprintJS

A React-based UI toolkit for the web

BlueprintJS

It is a React UI toolkit that provides a range of customizable and accessible components, including buttons, forms, and tables. It also includes a range of utility classes for building responsive layouts.

React Blueprint includes a theming system that allows you to customize the look and feel of your application. You can choose from a range of pre-built themes, or you can create your theme by customizing the variables in the theme file.


React Bootstrap

The most popular front-end framework, rebuilt for React.

React Bootstrap

Bootstrap has always been the choice for building components of a website. This has now available as a React library for building the application. It provides a set of reusable and customizable components, such as buttons, forms, menus, tables, and more, which are designed to follow the principles of Google's Material Design guidelines.


Evergreen

Evergreen is a React UI Framework for building ambitious products on the web.

Evergreen

It is another such UI library for React that has multiple components such as forms, buttons, alerts, and others. One of the key features of Evergreen is its focus on accessibility. All components are designed to be fully accessible and compliant with the latest web accessibility guidelines, making it easy to create inclusive and user-friendly applications.

Conclusion

In conclusion, there are many great React UI component libraries available for building beautiful and functional user interfaces. Each library has its strengths and weaknesses, and choosing the right one for your project will depend on your specific needs and preferences.

Regardless of which library you choose, the key to success is to understand the underlying principles of React and UI design and to use these libraries as tools to help you achieve your goals. With the right approach and a solid understanding of these principles, you can create beautiful and functional interfaces that delight your users and help your application stand out in a crowded marketplace.

I've used ant design, but as my concern is that I don't like ant design much. Because it didn't provide any method for customize the component like **sx **props in material UI. But now a days I'm listening about the new library called Chakra UI. I will definitely give it a try.
