Next.js is a React-based framework for building server-side rendered and statically generated web applications.
Code Example
import { useEffect, useState } from 'react'
export default function Home() {
const [data, setData] = useState(null)
useEffect(() => { fetch('/api/data').then(res => res.json()).then(setData) }, [])
return <div>{data ? JSON.stringify(data) : 'Loading...'}</div>
}
Pros
- Offers built-in server-side rendering and static site generation, unlike many other React-based libraries.
- Provides an intuitive file-based routing system, simplifying navigation compared to manual route configuration.
- Integrates seamlessly with Vercel's deployment platform, offering a streamlined development-to-production workflow.
Cons
- Has a steeper learning curve compared to simpler React libraries or UI component libraries like Material-UI or Chakra UI.
- Lacks built-in UI components, requiring integration with separate UI libraries unlike Vuetify or Semantic UI.
- May be overkill for small, simple projects where a full-featured framework isn't necessary, unlike lighter alternatives like Preact.
Material-UI is a popular React UI framework that implements Google's Material Design principles.
Code Example
import { Button } from '@mui/material';
<Button variant="contained" color="primary">
Hello World
</Button>
Pros
- Offers a comprehensive set of pre-built React components, reducing development time
- Provides excellent customization options through theming and component props
- Has a large, active community and extensive documentation
Cons
- Can have a steeper learning curve compared to simpler UI libraries
- Bundle size can be larger than some alternatives, potentially impacting initial load times
- Strict adherence to Material Design may limit creativity in some design scenarios
Storybook is an open-source tool for developing UI components in isolation, allowing developers to create, test, and document components separately from the main application.
Code Example
import { Button } from './Button';
export default {
component: Button,
title: 'Components/Button',
};
Pros
- Provides a dedicated environment for component development, unlike many other projects that focus on full application frameworks or UI libraries.
- Offers extensive documentation and testing capabilities, surpassing most other UI libraries in this aspect.
- Supports multiple frontend frameworks, making it more versatile than framework-specific tools like Next.js or Angular components.
Cons
- Has a steeper learning curve compared to simpler UI libraries like Chakra UI or DaisyUI.
- Requires additional setup and configuration, which may be more time-consuming than using pre-built component libraries like Material-UI or Vuetify.
- Can add complexity to smaller projects where a full-fledged component development environment might be overkill.
shadcn-ui/ui is a collection of re-usable components built using Radix UI and Tailwind CSS, designed for easy customization and integration into React projects.
Code Example
import { Button } from "@/components/ui/button"
<Button variant="outline">Click me</Button>
Pros
- Offers a balance between customization and pre-built components, unlike fully pre-styled libraries like Material-UI or Chakra UI
- Integrates seamlessly with Tailwind CSS, making it easy to adapt to existing Tailwind projects
- Provides accessible components out of the box, similar to Radix UI
Cons
- Less comprehensive than larger UI libraries like Material-UI or Chakra UI in terms of component variety
- Requires more setup and configuration compared to ready-to-use libraries like Semantic UI or Element
- May have a steeper learning curve for developers not familiar with Radix UI or Tailwind CSS concepts
ElemeFE/element is a Vue.js 2.0 UI toolkit for web development, providing a set of reusable components.
Code Example
<template>
<el-button type="primary">Primary Button</el-button>
</template>
Pros
- Specifically designed for Vue.js, offering seamless integration and optimal performance
- Comprehensive documentation and active community support
- Extensive set of pre-built components, reducing development time
Cons
- Limited to Vue.js ecosystem, unlike more versatile options like Material-UI or Chakra UI
- Less customizable compared to utility-first frameworks like Tailwind CSS
- Not as widely adopted as some other UI libraries, potentially leading to fewer third-party resources
