Getting started

Welcome to the NextUI documentation!

NextUI allows you to make beautiful, modern, and fast websites/applications regardless of your design experience, created with React.js and Stitches, based on React Aria and inspired by Vuesax.

Installation

Inside your React project directory, install NextUI by running either of the following:

yarn add @nextui-org/react

npm i @nextui-org/react

Setup

For NextUI to work correctly, you need to set up the NextUIProvider at the root of your application.

React

Go to the root of your application and do this:

import * as React from 'react';

// 1. import `NextUIProvider` component
import { NextUIProvider } from '@nextui-org/react';

function App({ Component }) {
  // 2. Use at the root of your app
  return (
    <NextUIProvider>
      <Component />
    </NextUIProvider>
  );
}

Next.js

Go to pages/_app.js or pages/_app.tsx (create it if it doesn't exist) and add this:

// 1. import `NextUIProvider` component
import { NextUIProvider } from '@nextui-org/react';

function MyApp({ Component, pageProps }) {
  return (
    // 2. Use at the root of your app
    <NextUIProvider>
      <Component {...pageProps} />
    </NextUIProvider>
  );
}

export default MyApp;

Go to pages/_document.js or pages/_document.tsx (create if it doesn't exist) and add this:

import React from 'react';
import Document, { Html, Head, Main, NextScript } from 'next/document';
import { CssBaseline } from '@nextui-org/react';

class MyDocument extends Document {
  static async getInitialProps(ctx) {
    const initialProps = await Document.getInitialProps(ctx);
    return {
      ...initialProps,
      styles: React.Children.toArray([initialProps.styles])
    };
  }

  render() {
    return (
      <Html lang="en">
        <Head>{CssBaseline.flush()}</Head>
        <body>
          <Main />
          <NextScript />
        </body>
      </Html>
    );
  }
}

export default MyDocument;

For more information about Next.js + NextUI SSR check out the documentation.

Once NextUI is installed you can use any of the components as follows. NextUI uses tree-shaking so the unused modules will not be included in the bundle during the build process and each component is exported separately.

import { Button } from '@nextui-org/react';

const Component = () => <Button>Click me</Button>;

Individual components import

import Button from '@nextui-org/react/button';

const Component = () => <Button>Click me</Button>;
