Building responsive components in Chakra UI
Blog post from LogRocket
Chakra UI is a versatile and user-friendly component library that facilitates the creation of responsive web applications by providing customizable, accessible, and reusable components. It employs a mobile-first approach with default breakpoints to simplify responsive design, allowing developers to easily write CSS using array and object syntax for responsive styling. The framework's useMediaQuery and useDisclosure hooks enable dynamic interactions, such as toggling sidebars on different screen sizes. A dashboard application built using Chakra UI illustrates these capabilities through components like a Header and Sidebar, which adapt to both mobile and desktop environments. The article emphasizes the ease and efficiency of using Chakra UI to handle complex media queries and improve the developer experience in building front-end applications.
