Curated List of React Components & Libraries.

🚀 Absolutely Awesome React Components & Libraries

This is a list of AWESOME components. Nope, it's NOT a comprehensive list of every React component under the sun. So, what does "awesome" mean? Well:

It solves a real problem
It does so in a 🦄 unique, 🦋 beautiful, or 🏆 exceptional way. (And it's not super popular and well-known... no point in listing those.)
It has recent code commits!

Look for a 🚀 for truly amazing projects. And look for quickie maintainer commentary and reviews in (italic parens) after some listings of note.

Contributing

Please review our contributing guidelines. We keep this list fresh by requiring all PRs to remove one or more non-awesome entries…

🏕 Opinionated Vite + Vue Starter Template

Live Demo

Note: This template is created during the early transition of Vue 3 and Vite. At this moment, if you are seeking for better Vue developer experience and more consistent maintenance, we recommend using Nuxt 3 instead (it also works perfectly with SPA or SSG as needed). This template still serves as a reference, but expect slower updates.

10. microsite

natemoo-re / microsite

Do more with less JavaScript. Microsite is a smarter, performance-obsessed static site generator powered by Preact and Snowpack.

Read the docs | See the live examples | Join our Discord

microsite is a fast, opinionated static-site generator (SSG) built on top of Snowpack. It outputs extremely minimal clientside code using automatic partial hydration.

npm init microsite

Microsite's public API is quite stable, but I caution professional users to consider this a WIP! There are plenty of quirks and bugs (especially with dev mode) that are being ironed out until Microsite reaches a more stable v2.0.0!

Microsite is an ESM node package, so it needs to run in a Node environment which supports ESM. We support the latest version of node v12.x LTS (Erbium) — see Engines for more details.

Ensure that your project includes "type": "module" in package.json, which will allow you to use ESM in your project's node scripts.
