Which is the best React component library and what do you use it for?

Hello people! :wave:

I’m new to React myself and diving into the world of component libraries. There are tons out there, and while there’s probably no single “best” one, I’d love to hear what others are using and why.

I’ve only tried Material UI so far, which I’ve really liked. But I’d love to know what else is popular or underrated out there! Whether you’re a beginner or experienced dev, share what’s worked for you and in what context — dashboards, landing pages, admin tools, etc.

Thank you in advance for the help!

Hi @sndhu.rani,you’re indeed right, there are so many options! But personally, I use Chakra UI a lot—it’s a breeze to work with, and I love that you can style components using props directly in JSX. It’s fully accessible by default and great for teams who want consistency without writing custom styles from scratch.

I’ve used it mainly for building admin dashboards and internal tools, and it’s been fantastic for those contexts.

Well, thanks for reading. Happy coding! :raised_hands:

The best React component library is MUI (Material UI). It’s popular, well-documented, and great for building responsive, modern UIs fast.

I have used MUI @anitashah but for me, Ant Design has been my go-to for enterprise-style apps. It has a polished, professional feel and tons of prebuilt components like tables, forms, and modals. The downside is that it can feel heavy sometimes, but if you’re building something data-intensive, it’s solid.

Hey @sndhu.rani I recently tried using Radix UI together with Tailwind, and I really enjoyed the flexibility it offers.

Radix provides just the behavior, no styling, so if you like building your own design system or prefer utility-first CSS, it’s a perfect fit.

It does require a bit more setup upfront, but once you get going, it’s incredibly powerful.
