Testimonials
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/react
package and its peer dependencies:
$ yarn add @chakra-ui/react @emotion/react@^11 @emotion/styled@^11 framer-motion@^6
# or
$ npm i @chakra-ui/react @emotion/react@^11 @emotion/styled@^11 framer-motion@^6
Usage
To start using the components, please follow these steps:
- Wrap your application with the
ChakraProvider
provided by @chakra-ui/react.
import { ChakraProvider } from "@chakra-ui/react"
// Do this at the root of your application
function App({ children }) {
return <ChakraProvider>{children}</ChakraProvider>
}
Optionally, you can wrap your application with the ColorModeProvider
so you
can toggle between light and dark mode within your app.
- Now you can start using components like so!:
import { Button } from "@chakra-ui/react"
function Example() {
return <Button>I just consumed some ⚡️Chakra!</Button>
}
