MUI is a UI component library specifically designed for React applications. It provides a vast array of ready-to-use React components for building user interfaces, following React's declarative programming paradigm.
Material Design Style
At its core, MUI adheres to Google's Material Design system. This means all components share a consistent visual style, animations, and interactive behaviors, providing users with a familiar yet modern experience.
Rich Component Collection
MUI offers a very comprehensive collection of components, covering almost all common UI elements in web and application development, including buttons, input fields, forms, navigation bars, cards, dialogs, data grids, menus, tooltips, icons, and more.
High Customizability
Despite following Material Design, MUI still offers extremely high customizability. Users can easily modify component styles such as colors, spacing, typography, shadows, etc., through its powerful theming system, the sx prop, or the styled utility, to match their brand or design requirements.
Performance Optimization
MUI is committed to delivering high-performance components. It employs optimization techniques, such as on-demand component loading, to ensure rapid application responsiveness.
Responsive Design
All MUI components come with built-in responsive design capabilities, automatically adapting to different screen sizes and devices, ensuring a good user experience on desktops, tablets, and mobile devices.
Accessibility
MUI places great emphasis on accessibility. All components are meticulously designed to follow WAI-ARIA best practices, supporting keyboard navigation, focus management, and semantic HTML structures, allowing users of assistive technologies to access applications smoothly.
Professional Extension Products
In addition to the core open-source component library, MUI also offers professional paid products, such as:
- MUI X: Includes advanced Data Grid, Date Pickers, Tree View, and other complex components, providing more powerful functionalities and performance.
- MUI Templates: Pre-built, out-of-the-box React templates that can accelerate project kick-off and development.
