@material-ui/core

What is @material-ui/core?

The @material-ui/core package is a React component library that implements Google's Material Design. It provides a robust, customizable, and accessible collection of components that can be used to build a wide range of user interfaces, from simple buttons and text fields to complex navigation and layout patterns.

What are @material-ui/core's main functionalities?

Buttons

This feature allows developers to use Material Design styled buttons in their applications, with various customization options such as colors, variants, and sizes.

import React from 'react';
import Button from '@material-ui/core/Button';

function App() {
  return <Button variant='contained' color='primary'>Hello World</Button>;
}

Text Fields

Text Fields are used for inputting text data. The @material-ui/core library provides a Material Design styled TextField component with various styles and customization options.

import React from 'react';
import TextField from '@material-ui/core/TextField';

function App() {
  return <TextField label='Outlined' variant='outlined' />;
}

Grid Layout

The Grid component allows for the implementation of responsive layouts. It uses a 12-column grid system and supports various configuration options for alignment, spacing, and more.

import React from 'react';
import Grid from '@material-ui/core/Grid';

function App() {
  return (
    <Grid container spacing={3}>
      <Grid item xs={12}>
        <div>Full-width</div>
      </Grid>
      <Grid item xs={6}>
        <div>Half-width</div>
      </Grid>
    </Grid>
  );
}

antd

Ant Design (antd) is a design system and React UI library that offers a high-quality set of components. It is similar to @material-ui/core in providing a comprehensive suite of UI components but follows the Ant Design specifications. Ant Design tends to have a more enterprise look and feel compared to Material-UI's more general Material Design approach.

react-bootstrap

React-Bootstrap is a React component library that rebuilds the Bootstrap components with React. It offers similar functionalities to @material-ui/core in terms of providing a set of ready-to-use components designed according to the Bootstrap framework. While @material-ui/core is based on Material Design, React-Bootstrap is based on Bootstrap, offering a different design philosophy and aesthetic.

Chakra UI is a simple, modular, and accessible component library that gives you the building blocks to build your React applications. It is similar to @material-ui/core in providing a wide range of components but focuses more on simplicity and accessibility.
