Hi everyone. I am currently building a new project using React, MongoDB and Express (MERN Stack basics)
Is there any other recommendations as to what material library source I can use, to veer away from Bootstrap.
With Angular, it's Angular Material is ofcourse a winner, but I am specifically looking for React Material Libraries without hassles.
Please leave your recommendations for me, I'd appreciate it tremendously!
You can use mui library src is MUI
MUI comes with dozens of ready-to-use components in the core. These components are an incredible starting point but when it comes to making your site stand out with a custom design, it can be simpler to start from an unstyled state. Introducing the system:
The system lets you quickly build custom UI components leveraging the values defined in your theme.

I have a react application that uses Joy UI. I would like to use material UI as well. Can I use material UI and Joy UI together in a react app? If so how?
The official doc is live! Thanks Per Sunde for the fast info.

Yes, you can use Joy UI with Material UI (MUI), but you will have to implement a workaround, otherwise some components will throw an error and not work well or work at all.
siriwatknp updated the code and wrote a guide about how to use Joy UI and Material UI together. If you dont implement the fix described in the guide, then it will most likely fail when you try to use both libraries in the same project.
See the guide on how to use Joy and Material UI together here:
https://github.com/mui/material-ui/blob/master/docs/data/joy/guides/using-joy-ui-and-material-ui/using-joy-ui-and-material-ui.md
:::warning warning Note: Once Joy UI reaches component parity with Material UI, we recommend you to choose one or the other. Not only do they have a different design language (and therefore a different theme structure) but they would increase your bundle size as well as potentially create unnecessary complexities. :::
I believe they will post this guide on the official website soon, but I can only find the guide in their Github repo.
Update:
Guide is now on their official website:

I need to use https://fezvrasta.github.io/bootstrap-material-design/ for my web app. I can see npm version also available at https://www.npmjs.com/package/bootstrap-material-design. I am looking for a better solution and guidelines to use it in react. I had looked MDB i.e https://mdbootstrap.com/. This UI kit having react version. But compared to first one, this is a little bit less attractive. Can any help me out this?
I went through the home page of materializecss and materialUI. The first one mentions A modern responsive front-end framework based on Material Design and the later one mentions React components that implement Google's Material Design. Both of them implements material design and both of them give me components to use. Where exactly is the difference between both of them?
Both materialize and material UI implement Google's Material Design But in two different way. For instance grid system is one of differences.
As material UI mention in it's documentation, materialize has these differences :
1- Materialize supports a wider range of browsers than Material-UI does, for instance, they support IE 10 while we only support IE 11. Only supporting IE 11 allows us to take full advantage of the flexbox layout. IE 10 has many issues with flexbox.
2- Materialize uses SCSS, a styling architecture Material-UI moved away from 2 years ago.
(https://material-ui.com/getting-started/comparison/#materialize)
Although material UI is the most popular React component library because it has a large set of React components.
Some communities like gem, meteor and ember have ability to include Materialize their projects.
I had experience with using materialize with angularjs. materialize provides directives for using materializecss features in angularjs (https://krescruz.github.io/angular-materialize/). most of them work properly but input-field directive cause problem in application performance.
I jumped into React recently, so I'm very confused about many things. One of them is about how most of people design UI in React.
Before jumping in, I used Bootstrap to design UI of my website by using pre-made components such as buttons, modal views, navigations, and so on. But, figured out I can't use it anymore in React, but I can use React-Bootstrap instead. Is React-Bootstrap still the most popular UI framework in React as well? I'm asking that because I found some other UI frameworks such as Semantic UI or Material UI for React.
Also, I found styled-components. However, styled-components makes me feel like I need to make every component by myself to use which sounds like taking too long time.
As a very beginner, I'm curious about how people usually work on UI in React?
Firstly, There is no clear answer for the problem. In general purpose of styled-components not mean don't use another ui framework. And the companies solve the problems which is spesific with their Engineering Team. They have their own architecture though. But the alone programmers are choose some open source solutions.
Well, Some people use together or alone. It's totally about your project or your style of architecture. But still i would say some stuffs for giving point of view.
In the other hand; the UI Frameworks are solve modular problems. An example: You cannot create a modal with only css even styled-components. you know, you need JavaScript for that.
To use both:
You can use on Elements Semantic-UI(ReactJS or direct element with the className),
You can use styled-components instead of css file for spesific part of your project. As e.g: Main, Aside, Article, Post, TopNavigation etc.
If you prefer to use the styled-components, also you can use same components in React Native. (There is no css file support for React Native. You'll need inline CSS)
To use only div instead of the spesific component, you'll confused after project being bigger. I would recommended you to create for each meaningful Element.
You can combine the open source community UI parts with your own CSS.
You won't need a CSS(Less, Sass) file when you use styled-components. That's mean, you'll work only on your JS files instead CSS files, so you can do dynamic things in your components. styled-components supports almost all CSS features.
To use standalone Semantic-UI:
I prefer Semantic-UI-React instead of ReactJS bootstrap frameworks.
You cannot use the CSS of Semantic-UI-React in React Native. You should choose which is another solution or actually make your own your components architecture.
You are ready to go with every project with Semantic-UI-React for web/mobile site.
You have to learn basics of less-lang.
You can change everything from your theme files which variables.
Lastly,
If you have big project or goal though; nevertheless, i think you should use a UI Framework in learning and adaptive process.
If you are still not sure what you should do you then, you have to try all of them to find your own architecture.
I think in learning process, you have to concern about ReactJS needs(Redux, Router etc.) before CSS.
It's my first answer at Stackoverflow. Hopefully, the answer will help you for your concern.
I find that there are 2 UI components for React Native which are mostly used. I want to use one of them. Which one of them is more easy to use and customizable ?
Currently, there are 3 main UI libraries:
Shoutem UI Components
React Native Elements
Native Base components
Shoutem UI components are actually only one part of Shoutem UI Toolkit, which includes:
UI components - customizable set of components for RN applications
Theme - style your RN components on one place
Animation - set of declarative animations
UI components come with the predefined beautiful design, so creating good looking applications is as easy as simply c/p-ing the component's code. However, they can be fully customized with a theme from one place, so you can achieve the separation of concerns for your components. Animations can be used in similar matter, too.
To see which kind of UI components are there, include <Examples> components in your screen, as described here.
React Native Elements simplify the usage of common components in React Native. Native Base does that too, allows you to customize them and has a better documentation than React Native Elements.

All the above three libraries are good and serve their own purposes. It totally depends once after you use all of these.
NativeBase is a mobile application development framework; builds a layer on top of React Native that provides you with basic set of components for mobile application development which helps you to develop world-class application experiences on native platforms.
NativeBase gives you the potential of building applications that run on iOS and Android using a single codebase. It eases out your development.
Since NativeBase is built on top of React Native, hence with any component you can pass the style property which will be merged to the default style of that component. This also goes with the callback events. Highly customizable with the theme from one place.
All this is neatly documented by NativeBase. Docs of NativeBase gives you complete information about its usage with sample output, its replacing React Native element, how to style each component, how to customize theme for each component, many more.
Also that NativeBase is being rewritten to enhance its ease of use. To be released very soon.
Go ahead and try NativeBase!
Checkout the working demonstration of NativeBase components in one single kit NativeBase-KitchenSink.

Both are excellent. Shoutem has some pretty cool animation transitions. You can't go wrong with either. My advice is to review each and pick the one that either feels more right or matches your requirements best.
And don't forget to check out React Native Elements too
You can either use NativeBase or Shoutem UI. Both are slightly different than each other. NativeBase is designed over platform recommendations and inspired by Ionic whereas Shoutem has it's own fluent and clean design.
I've played around with native-base and Shoutem UI. Both of them fully customized.
I like Shoutem than the other because it has more feature, animation, extension, builder, etc. But unfortunately, Shoutem UI currently doesn't support the latest react-native (>0.40) and expo(> 15.0). So I hold my plan to use this for production.
I think this is because the latest RN deprecated NavigationExperimental and
Expo SDK use react-native-svg >= 5.2.0. CMIIW
