Top 5 React UI Libraries
Listing down the top 5 UI React libraries, let me know which is your favourite😁✌️.
Material UI
Github stars: 90k
What to say, Google developers develop this library for Angular and React also. Material UI library needs no introductions, almost all the UI components are available and easy to integrate into Next JS, Gatsby or CRA.
I love its ripple effect and easy-to-extend theme features. You can use material UI with Styled components or Tailwind CSS and so on.
Ant Design
Github stars: 70k
Ant Design has received decent GitHub stars and applications in React products. Ant Design is quite fast as it depends on SCSS in run time and variables are quite easy to use.
Chakra UI
Github stars: 36k
Recently I witnessed this new UI library. Although it was not new I confronted it for the first time.
I must say I fell in love immediately I looked into its hooks, components and theming system. Simple props to provide 5/6 forms of themes to our components with their respective shades.
React Bootstrap
If you have come from a Vanilla Javascript background to React, you will love React Bootstrap.

Because Bootstrap is the most popular and loved frontend framework we all have used somewhere why do we ignore it in React also? Recently react-bootstrap released version 5 and new components have been introduced. This gives me hope as the community works hard.
20k Github stars
Mantine
Github stars: 23K
Mantine is currently used for my website iHateReading
I loved this website because it is compatible with Tailwind CSS and supports themes for UI elements.
Semantic UI
This library has 50K GitHub stars. They provide tonnes of components, collections, modules, API, Form validation hooks, and Elements. Inbuilt support for Sketch files which brings designs and development on the same page.
Shadcn/UI
Github stars: 53k
Beautifully designed components that you can copy and paste into your apps. Accessible. Customizable. Open Source
Conclusion
The choice is yours but I would recommend you try all of them. When you work with at least 3/4 of libraries and are in the perfect position to decide which library to prefer in which case and in which situation.
Until, next time, have a good day.
