What is @fluentui/react?
@fluentui/react is a collection of robust, reusable, and customizable React components designed to help developers build consistent and accessible user interfaces. It is part of the Fluent UI design system developed by Microsoft.
What are @fluentui/react's main functionalities?
Button
The Button component is used to trigger an action or event, such as submitting a form or saving data. The PrimaryButton is a styled variant that stands out more prominently.
import { PrimaryButton } from '@fluentui/react';
function App() {
return (
<PrimaryButton text="Click Me" onClick={() => alert('Button clicked!')} />
);
}
TextField
The TextField component is used to capture user input in a text format. It can be customized with labels, placeholders, and validation messages.
import { TextField } from '@fluentui/react';
function App() {
return (
<TextField label="Enter your name" />
);
}
Dropdown
The Dropdown component allows users to select an option from a list. It supports various customization options, including multi-select and search functionality.
import { Dropdown } from '@fluentui/react';
const options = [
{ key: 'A', text: 'Option A' },
{ key: 'B', text: 'Option B' },
{ key: 'C', text: 'Option C' }
];
function App() {
return (
<Dropdown placeholder="Select an option" options={options} />
);
}
Modal
The Modal component is used to display content in a layer above the main application. It is useful for dialogs, forms, and other interactive content that requires user attention.
import { Modal, IconButton } from '@fluentui/react';
import { useState } from 'react';
function App() {
const [isModalOpen, setIsModalOpen] = useState(false);
return (
<div>
<IconButton iconProps={{ iconName: 'Add' }} onClick={() => setIsModalOpen(true)} />
<Modal isOpen={isModalOpen} onDismiss={() => setIsModalOpen(false)}>
<div>
<h2>Modal Title</h2>
<p>Modal content goes here.</p>
</div>
</Modal>
</div>
);
}

Using Fluent UI React
Creating a new app
To create a simple React app using Create React App, install Node.js, then run:
npx create-react-app my-app --template @fluentui/cra-template
cd my-app
npm start
Integrating in an existing project
npm i @fluentui/react
This will add the package as a dependency in your package.json
file and download it under node_modules/@fluentui/react
.
The library includes ES module entry points under the lib
folder (use lib-amd
if you need AMD, or lib-commonjs
if you need commonjs).
Version policy
Fluent UI React adheres to semantic versioning. However, we only consider constructs directly importable at the package level or from files at the root (e.g. @fluentui/react/lib/Utilities
or @fluentui/react/lib-amd/Styling
) to be part of our API surface. Everything else is considered package-internal and may be subject to changes, moves, renames, etc.
Browser support
Fluent UI React supports all evergreen browsers, with IE 11 as the min-bar version of Internet Explorer*. See the browser support doc for more information.
*NOTE: Internet Explorer 11 has been sunset. Features and bug fixes after the sunset date may not be compatible with IE11.
Right-to-left support
All components can render in LTR or RTL, depending on the dir
attribute set on the html
element (dir="rtl"
will flip the direction of everything). You can also use the setRTL
API if you don't have control over the html
element's rendering. Example:
import { setRTL } from '@fluentui/react/lib/Utilities';
setRTL(true);
Server-side rendering
Fluent UI React components can be rendered in a server-side Node environment (or used in tests which run in an SSR-like environment), but it requires customizing how styles and SCSS files are loaded. See the server-side rendering documentation for examples of how to handle this.
Advanced usage
For info about advanced usage including module- vs. path-based imports, using an AMD bundler like RequireJS, and deployment features, see our advanced documentation.
