What’s new in Grommet v2
Blog post from LogRocket
Grommet is a React-based library designed for building minimalist and accessible user interfaces, offering extensive customization and responsive design. With the release of Grommet v2, significant updates included cleaner UI, changes in technical dependencies, and modifications to component usage, such as replacing the App component with the Grommet component and introducing theme support via a theme prop. Grommet's design language emphasizes minimalism with ample white space and a limited color palette, and its components are styled using props instead of explicit CSS. The library includes novel components like Stack, Markdown, RangeSelector, FileInput, and WorldMap, which distinguish it from other frameworks like Material or Ant Design. Grommet v2 also brought technical changes such as import sanitization with babel-grommet-plugin and the removal of certain utilities like react-intl and REST, which now need external handling. With its unique aesthetic and feature set, Grommet v2 is positioned as an attractive option for developers seeking an elegant, feature-rich framework for management dashboard interfaces.
