@mui/material
Advanced tools
The @mui/material 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 for web applications.
UI Components
This feature provides pre-built UI components such as buttons, cards, dialogs, and more, which can be easily imported and used in a React application.
import Button from '@mui/material/Button';
function App() {
return <Button variant='contained'>Click Me</Button>;
}Layout Components
This feature includes components for creating layouts, such as containers and grid systems, to help organize the content on the page.
import Container from '@mui/material/Container';
import Grid from '@mui/material/Grid';
function App() {
return (
<Container>
<Grid container spacing={2}>
<Grid item xs={12} sm={6}>
Content 1
</Grid>
<Grid item xs={12} sm={6}>
Content 2
</Grid>
</Grid>
</Container>
);
}Theming
This feature allows for customization of the look and feel of components through theming, enabling developers to define color schemes, typography, and other design elements.
import { createTheme, ThemeProvider } from '@mui/material/styles';
import Button from '@mui/material/Button';
const theme = createTheme({
palette: {
primary: {
main: '#556cd6',
},
},
});
function App() {
return (
<ThemeProvider theme={theme}>
<Button color='primary'>Themed Button</Button>
</ThemeProvider>
);
}Icons
This feature provides a large set of icons that can be used in conjunction with other components or standalone.
import AccessAlarmIcon from '@mui/icons-material/AccessAlarm';
function App() {
return <AccessAlarmIcon />;
}Ant Design (antd) is a design system for enterprise-level products. It includes a set of high-quality React components and is similar to @mui/material in providing a comprehensive UI toolkit. Ant Design focuses more on enterprise applications and has a different design language compared to Material Design.
React Bootstrap is a React component library that rebuilds the Bootstrap components with React. It offers a different set of components and utilities that adhere to the Bootstrap framework, which has a distinct look and feel from Material Design.
Semantic UI React is the official React integration for Semantic UI. It is similar to @mui/material in that it provides a number of pre-built components, but it follows the design principles of Semantic UI, which differ from Material Design.
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 @mui/material in its goals but offers a different design system and a focus on simplicity and accessibility.
MUI Core contains foundational React UI component libraries for shipping new features faster.
Material UI is a comprehensive library of components that features our implementation of Google's Material Design system.
MUI Base is our library of "unstyled" components and low-level hooks. With Base, you gain complete control over your app's CSS and accessibility features.
MUI System is a collection of CSS utilities to help you rapidly lay out custom designs.
Material UI is available as an npm package.
// with npm
npm install @mui/material @emotion/react @emotion/styled
// with yarn
yarn add @mui/material @emotion/react @emotion/styled
Note: @next only points to pre-releases.
Use @latest for the latest stable release.

Here is an example of a basic app using Material UI's Button component:
import * as React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import Button from '@mui/material/Button';
function App() {
return (
<Button variant="contained" color="primary">
Hello World
</Button>
);
}
In the interactive demo below, try changing the code and see how it affects the output.
(Hint: change variant to "outlined" and color to "secondary".
For more options, see the Button component page in our docs.)
