Blueprint UI

5. Blueprint

Official Website: https://blueprintjs.com/

Blueprint : A collection of components for building data-intensive interfaces for desktops. It specifically states that it is not designed to work for mobile. It is most likely better for building internal tools, dashboards, and Electron apps. Blueprint is one of the few libs in this list that has a Date Picker component.

Blueprint is a React-based UI toolkit for the web. It is optimised for building complex, data-dense web interfaces for desktop applications that run in modern browsers and IE11. (Source: Blueprint GitHub)

Blueprint is a UI toolkit for React that is designed to build data-rich interfaces for web applications. The core Blueprint NPM package contains 30+ common and unique React components like Button, Card, Menu, Form Group, File Input, etc.

Blueprintjs seem to not work in SSR. https://github.com/palantir/blueprint/issues/131

Maybe https://blueprintjs.com/ for you, although last time I checked it did not have explicit mobile or tablet support. (They don’t aim to break mobile or tablet but they don’t endeavour to support it.)

There are other libraries as well like tailwind, and component libraries like Semantic UI, React Bootstrap, Ant Design, Chakra UI, BluePrint, Material UI, etc., which you can try out.

@mui/material — Material UI component library for building the admin interface.

MUI (Material UI) - Use it if you need a mature, well-documented component library with a consistent design system and broad community support.

Material UI

Diving into CSS-in-JS wasn't really a technical choice. My wife, as a UX designer, had good words about Material Design, so I headed to MUI without thinking too much. At that time, Emotion was the first-class citizen there. Meanwhile, my company's UI component library chose styled-components for styling. Both are widely used CSS-in-JS libraries.

MUI because it’s a widely popular UI library and makes it quick and easy to build a nice looking, responsive UI

Popular frameworks like Material UI have millions of NPM downloads, proving their widespread adoption. But is it a perfect fit for your project?

Material UI theming is a powerful feature that enables developers to apply consistent styles across an entire application. Here’s what you need to know to effectively work with Material-UI theming:

Use accessible-first design systems like Material UI or Chakra UI.

One of the key concepts of React is components. Components enable us to break down a user interface (UI) into independent pieces that can be used in different parts of an application. Utilizing components for a blog, the blog postcard, header, footer, custom button, etc., can be created separately and used through the blog application. This can improve productivity by enabling the reuse of said components. Additionally, several component libraries like Material UI, Chakra UI, Ant Design, etc., offer ready-to-use components that could save you time.
