Library Overviews

Material UI

Material UI is a popular React UI framework that implements Google's Material Design. It provides a comprehensive set of pre-built components and tools for building elegant, consistent, and accessible user interfaces.

Components used:

  1. Rating - Documentation
  2. Table with Pagination - Documentation
  3. CircularProgress - Documentation

Example component (Rating):

import React from 'react';
import Rating from '@mui/material/Rating';

  const [value, setValue] = React.useState(2);

  return (
    <Rating
      name="simple-controlled"
      value={value}
      onChange={(event, newValue) => {
        setValue(newValue);
      }}
    />
  );
}

Customized component (Rating with precision):

import React from 'react';
import Rating from '@mui/material/Rating';

function CustomRatingExample() {
  const [value, setValue] = React.useState(2.5);

  return (
    <Rating
      name="custom-rating"
      value={value}
      precision={0.5}
      onChange={(event, newValue) => {
        setValue(newValue);
      }}
    />
