Tailwind CSS VS material-ui

Frontend: Vue3 + Tailwind (Any framework works)

tailwindcss

You can use Sass, and Vite supports that out of the box, or you can use CSS and CSS variables. Either way, I also recommend considering Tailwind. Not having to think up class names and instead just being able to add what you need to style as you work is a great improvement, IMO.

Using clsx or classnames in React lately has become a trend with utility-first CSS frameworks like Tailwind CSS, where you have to write a lot of classes, and sometimes also with conditionals.

Avenue (YC W21) | https://avenue.so/ | Full-stack Software Engineer / Backend Software Engineer (Typescript / Javascript / React) | NYC / New York City | Full-Time

Avenue is building the observability platform for operations teams (think Sentry/PagerDuty but for ops). We are hiring early full-stack engineers to help scale the next generation of ops-driven companies. Come join our NYC-based team!

We are a team of 7 in NYC backed by Y Combinator, Accel, Elad Gil, Lachy Groom, and many other great partners.

Our main product is a web app and worker cluster built using Next.js & React. We build our components with Tailwind (https://tailwindcss.com), and we use hooks & react-query for state management. Our backend is a Node.js / Express app. We use Redis and Postgres for storage, and we use Prisma (https://prisma.io) as our data access layer. Our infrastructure is built on Docker, Kubernetes, and AWS.

As an early team member, you will get a chance to set the foundations of our engineering culture. You will help articulate our engineering principles and help set the long-term roadmap.

We're looking for strong engineers with many of the following:

  * 3+ years of full-time software engineering experience

If you're anything like us, we use Taliwind on every project; if you don't want to, you can just skip the next 2 steps.

Our Clubhouse clone will be built with Parcel, 100ms JavaScript SDK, Tailwind CSS.

I'm asking myself the same question for my project Rapido. With Vue 3, use new version of Bootstrap, Bulma-stylus, Fomantic-UI, Tailwind CSS or Element Plus ?

This discussion might help: https://github.com/tailwindlabs/tailwindcss/discussions/3461 but fortunately, I don't use NextJS.

As you will find many CSS frameworks in the market, these frameworks mostly include pre-designed elements like buttons, forms, and many other components to make the whole development more feasible. But if you ever want to modify or update any of these components, you'll have to work a lot around the design elements of the code. The problem is that you can't use these pre-made templates uniquely to showcase your product. On the other hand, one of the most popular CSS framework, Tailwind, can allow you to expand your creativity and incorporate your unique style quickly.

The one on the official MUI's Github repo featuring Next.js with TypeScript (my framework of choice) didn't follow standard Next.js folder structure.

Here’s an example of how a popular library implements it to give you an idea.

#15 mui-org/material-ui

I love typescript but I cherish every release that brings speed upgrades. Material-UI for instance just cripples the autocompletion time of an entire project due to that lib having what are evidently very compute-heavy types. I mean the completion times go from ~.5 seconds to ~7 seconds when that library is added. Which kind of makes TS-at-scale difficult-to-impossible since more types means unusable autocomplete as well as longer and longer compile times.

I looked again, it's more like an example then an Tutorial. But here is the url: https://github.com/mui-org/material-ui/tree/master/docs/src/pages/getting-started/templates/sign-in

Example

As robust and feature-rich as material-table is, maintenance and support have waned since the original creator left the project. Other contributors are still maintaining the library, though not as actively. However, there is a fork of the current project called material-table/core. This version is not yet as polished as material-table, but it is under active development and frequently updated. Although it doesn’t yet support the entire range of features described above, material-table/core is compatible with the new Material-UI v5, which is great! material-table remains the more popular library, with roughly 150,000 downloads per week as opposed to material-table/core's 23,000 weekly downloads at the time of writing. But material-table/core is a viable alternative if you're using the latest version of Material-UI and looking for a library with more active support.

I'm trying to understand how their theming works. For example, how does a button decide which color it should be? the code doesn't seem trivial at all, and it seems to depend on the context of where the button is placed: Button.js .
