Chakra UI

Overview

Chakra UI is one of the most popular React component libraries, celebrated for its developer-friendly style props, first-class dark mode support, and strict WAI-ARIA accessibility compliance.

Installation & Quick Start

npm install @chakra-ui/react @emotion/react

import { Button, HStack } from '@chakra-ui/react';

export default function App() {
  return (
    <HStack gap="4">
      <Button colorPalette="blue">Click me</Button>
    </HStack>
  );
}

Why Choose Chakra UI?
