4 Best UI Framework For ReactJS

Introduction

Building any project from scratch is painful as it takes a lot of time, causes frustration and we spent a lot of time on positioning components than improving functionality. It is also a waste of time as we write code that is already written and available to you.

The solution to all such problems is a framework.

A framework, or software framework, is a platform for developing software applications. It provides a foundation on which software developers can build programs for a specific platform.

There are frameworks for a lot of purposes.

Today, we are going to look into the best UI framework for developing your next ReactJS project.

Thank you 😍 there is chakra ui too
chakra-ui.com/

[Hassan Khan]

Yeah I used in my most of the projects well recommended. ✌️

[Elias Júnior]

I liked Chakra UI. I tried to use in a project, but didn't end well. For small things, like buttons and a modal, my page rank in Lighthouse was terrible. I ended up removing completely and added my own components. But the usability is great. The optimization that made me stop using it, unfortunately.

[Patrick Ullrich]

I am not sure if you are blaming the correct thing. I have entire sites with chakra ui with an essentially perfect 100 across light house score. Those would be created with NextJS. It's definitely not chakras fault here.

[Elias Júnior]

Well, I will try it again this week and check if I made some mistake. I only included Button and Modal, and I had a lot of performance metrics problem. Maybe I did something wrong, and I will try it again with Nest.js ;)

[Elias Júnior]

Well, just to update, I tested again in a project that I'm working on and fortunately looks like that everything is working very well! I didn't get any problem with performance in Lighthouse. I will start using Chakra UI again :) Thanks for the comment!

A mi tambien me encanta

[Tanvir Shaikh]

chakra is my personal favourite bro just after ant-design. 🤘🤘

[Suraj Vishwakarma]

Definitely going to check

[Andrew Baisden]

Me too it's getting talked about a lot lately.

[Endru Reza]

you might want to add some additional informations like

• github stars
• bundle size
• pros and cons
• your personal favorite

[Kelvin Kiptum Kiprop]

There's Mantine too. mantine.dev/

[Philipp Mudra]

There are so many great frameworks out there that I feel overwhelmed sometimes. Some of them are listed here: github.com/enaqx/awesome-react#rea...

I recently looked into Geist which I really like.

[Mcvean Soans]

Hey Suraj, a really good read!
Have you got any particular views on Chakra UI. It's a really good and flexible UI framework for React too!😆

[Suraj Vishwakarma]

I haven't used but heard of it but I am going to use it in my next project

[danh.huynh1]

Thank you. I am finding.It is great

[Suraj Vishwakarma]

Glad that you like it ☺️

[CoreUI]

Nice one, I just miss CoreUI.io :) Have you tried it? I know it's more than a framework, but... it's always worth to give it a try, like e.g. React components here: coreui.io/react/ui-components/

[Michal Szymanski]

Nice list!

But if you want to use the latest Bootstrap 5 with the newest React 17 I would definitely recommend MDB React ;)

mdbootstrap.com/docs/b5/react/

[Ivan Jeremic]

The best is Chakra the worst MaterialUi I would not even include it here

[Tanay Patel]

I recently came to know about theme-ui it's also something to consider if you are looking forward to adding different themes to your application. It eases the process of managing the theme.

But adding styling only for specific components, I think material-UI is a go-to option.
