Top 5 Projects Compared
Storybook is an open-source tool for developing UI components in isolation, supporting various frontend frameworks.
Code Example
import { Button } from './Button';
export default {
component: Button,
title: 'Components/Button',
};
export const Primary = () => <Button primary>Button</Button>;
Pros

- May be overkill for small projects or teams that don't need extensive component documentation.
Element is a popular Vue.js 2.0 UI toolkit for building responsive, mobile-first web interfaces.
Code Example
<template>
<el-button type="primary" @click="handleClick">Click me</el-button>
</template>
<script>
export default {
methods: {
handleClick() {
this.$message('Button clicked!');
}
}
}
</script>

Vuetify is a comprehensive Material Design component framework for Vue.js, offering a rich set of pre-built UI components and tools for building responsive web applications.
Code Example
<template>

</v-app>
</template>
Pros

Headless UI is a set of completely unstyled, fully accessible UI components for React and Vue.
Code Example
import { Menu } from '@headlessui/react'
<Menu>
<Menu.Button>Options</Menu.Button>
<Menu.Items>
<Menu.Item>
{({ active }) => (
<a className={`${active && 'bg-blue-500'}`} href="/account-settings">
Account settings
</a>
)}
</Menu.Item>
{/* More items... */}
</Menu.Items>
</Menu>
Pros
- Provides fully accessible components out of the box, saving development time on accessibility implementation.

<Button type="primary" @click="showMessage">Click me!</Button>
</template>

export default {
components: { Button },
methods: {
showMessage() {
Message.success('Hello from iView!')
}
}
}
</script>
