Try Out These 9 React Libraries In Your Project.
Even as developers, we sometimes want the easiest solution to a problem.
Many tools or technologies make it easier to build applications or websites.
Instead of coding those many lines of code, some tools can reduce them while still allowing the app to execute correctly and deliver the desired results.
These tools were developed by software engineers and are widely used in software development.
These resources might be referred to as “libraries.”
They help with the rapid development of apps and websites.
I’ll look at a few of the libraries that are used in React.
So, where have my buddy Reacted developers left? This one is just for us.
The advantages of using these react libraries.
- They help you save time.
- They are simple to learn and apply.
- There is very little code written.
- They also create visually attractive UI.
After adding these libraries to a few of my React projects, I decided to write about them to educate those who were new to them.
They consist of, but are not limited to:
React Router
This is a React library for moving between different pages.
It is the most widely used library for routing in React applications.
React Router makes it simple to manage your application’s paths and state.
This is done by specifying the pathways and components that should be shown for each route.
React Icons
React Icons is a simple framework for displaying icons in your application.
It uses ES6 imports, letting you include only the icons used in your project.
Font Awesome, BoxIcon, Ant Design Icons, Material Design Icons, and more icons may be found among the React icons.
EmailJS
This library makes it possible to send an email directly from JavaScript without connecting to a backend server.
Letting prospective clients send emails or messages directly to your email address via your contact form can be useful while developing your portfolio and is simple to incorporate into your project.
Here’s a full guide on using EmailJS in your React application.
Framer Motion
This is a ready-to-use animation library that allows you to write less code.
This library consists of a variety of motion designs that may be used to animate components and page layouts.
When waiting for data to be fetched in your react app, you can use framer motion to make a rolling/loading ball:
React Toastify
With only a few lines of code, you can add attractive alerts to your React apps.
It has basic notification settings that may be adjusted as required, and it is extremely simple to add to your application.
This is a better and more flexible substitute for JavaScript’s or React’s window. alert function.
React Slick
Have you ever scrolled across a page and spotted sliding or swiping effects?
This can be performed as simply as rapidly as possible by using the react slick carousel library.
It needs to be installed in your app like other react libraries or added via a CDN link in your HTML file, and you must also install slick-carousel for CSS and fonts.
Here’s an example of how the React slick may look.
This is from one of my projects.
React Typewriter
This is a library for making animated typing messages.
It has various default settings such as typeSpeed for choosing the typing speed, delete speed for setting the speed for the delete function, delay speed for setting the delay duration, and cursor style for setting the cursor style.
All of these properties are adjustable.
For it to perform effectively, you only need to write 2 to 3 lines of code.
The React typewriter works in this way.
Material UI (MUI)
MUI is a React UI component library that uses Google’s Material Design.
It comes with a few pre-made components that may be quickly used for styling needs.
It includes a variety of simple-to-use, adjustable components such as icons, buttons, forms, side and nav bars, grids, and so on.
You may also build your theme to override the default values in the MUI.
A short example of an in-built sidebar component that is ready to use.
We also have Ant Design, React Bootstrap, Chakra UI, Semantic UI, Styled Components, and more React UI component libraries.
React Pop-Up
This library can be used in your apps to generate basic and complex Modals, Tooltips, and Menus.
It allows onClick events to launch pop-up windows for users.
A sample pop-up use case using the React popup library is shown below.
Final Words
There are many other React libraries available for use in react applications.
Check them out online and study their documentation before using them in your project to become familiar with them.
I’ll probably add a few more libraries to this list with practical examples and source codes shortly, so keep a lookout for my next article.
