Mastering React Development with the React Suite Library
Written on
Chapter 1: Introduction to React Suite
React Suite is a powerful UI library designed to streamline the integration of various components into your React applications. In this article, we will explore how to effectively utilize this library to enrich your app with essential components.
Section 1.1: Adding Dividers
One of the primary components you can introduce is the Divider. This allows you to create visual separation in your app. For example, you can implement a simple divider between two text elements using the following code:
import React from "react";
import { Divider } from "rsuite";
import "rsuite/dist/styles/rsuite-default.css";
export default function App() {
return (
<>
hello
<Divider />
world
</>
);
}
You can also enhance the divider by adding text within it. Here's how:
import React from "react";
import { Divider } from "rsuite";
import "rsuite/dist/styles/rsuite-default.css";
export default function App() {
return (
<>
<Divider>Divider</Divider></>
);
}
For vertical dividers, simply use the vertical prop as shown below:
import React from "react";
import { Divider } from "rsuite";
import "rsuite/dist/styles/rsuite-default.css";
export default function App() {
return (
<>
<Divider vertical>Edit</Divider>
<Divider vertical>Update</Divider>
<Divider vertical>Save</Divider>
</>
);
}
The video titled "React Suite Introduction" provides an overview of the library and its capabilities, helping you get started quickly.
Section 1.2: Implementing Progress Bars
You can also incorporate progress indicators using the Progress module. Here's an example of how to add a progress bar:
import React from "react";
import { Progress } from "rsuite";
import "rsuite/dist/styles/rsuite-default.css";
export default function App() {
return (
<Progress percent={60} status="active" />);
}
The percent prop determines the completion percentage, while the status prop sets the color of the progress bar. To hide the percentage label, simply set showInfo to false:
import React from "react";
import { Progress } from "rsuite";
import "rsuite/dist/styles/rsuite-default.css";
export default function App() {
return (
<Progress percent={60} showInfo={false} />);
}
Additionally, you can create a circular progress indicator using the Progress.Circle component:
import React from "react";
import { Progress } from "rsuite";
import "rsuite/dist/styles/rsuite-default.css";
export default function App() {
return (
<Progress.Circle percent={75} />);
}
The second video titled "React Suite #2 | Installation" guides you through the installation process, ensuring you have everything set up correctly.
Section 1.3: Utilizing Placeholders
Placeholders can also be integrated into your application using the Placeholder module. To create a basic paragraph placeholder, you might write:
import React from "react";
import { Placeholder } from "rsuite";
import "rsuite/dist/styles/rsuite-default.css";
export default function App() {
return (
<Placeholder.Paragraph />);
}
You can add a circular graph to the left side of the placeholder by setting the graph prop to 'circle':
import React from "react";
import { Placeholder } from "rsuite";
import "rsuite/dist/styles/rsuite-default.css";
export default function App() {
return (
<Placeholder.Paragraph graph="circle" />);
}
You can also create grid-based placeholders using the Placeholder.Grid component:
import React from "react";
import { Placeholder } from "rsuite";
import "rsuite/dist/styles/rsuite-default.css";
export default function App() {
return (
<Placeholder.Grid />);
}
For a more detailed graph placeholder, you can use Placeholder.Graph:
import React from "react";
import { Placeholder } from "rsuite";
import "rsuite/dist/styles/rsuite-default.css";
export default function App() {
return (
<Placeholder.Graph />);
}
Chapter 2: Conclusion
With the React Suite library, you can effortlessly integrate dividers, progress bars, and placeholders into your applications, greatly enhancing the user interface.
