People throw React component libraries and design systems at me regularly. This might be the best one I’ve seen. The APIs are simple but composable and the accessibility on the couple components I looked is complete.

Installing Chakra UI

To use Chakra UI components, all you need to do is install the @chakra-ui/core package and its peer dependencies:

$ yarn add @chakra-ui/core @emotion/core @emotion/styled emotion-theming

# or

$ npm install @chakra-ui/core @emotion/core @emotion/styled emotion-theming

Usage

To start using the components, please follow these steps:

  1. Wrap your application with the ThemeProvider provided by @chakra-ui/core. We recommend that you also add the CSSReset component to remove all browser styling.
import { ThemeProvider, CSSReset } from "@chakra-ui/core".

// Do this at the root of your application
const App = ({ children }) => (
  <ThemeProvider>
    <CSSReset />
    {children}
  </ThemeProvider>
);

Optionally, you can wrap your application with the ColorModeProvider so you can toggle between light and dark mode within your app.

  1. Now you can start using components like so!:
import { Button } from "@chakra-ui/core";

<Button>I just consumed some ⚡️Chakra!</Button>;
