React and Amplify UI
Amplify UI is designed to integrate seamlessly with the React framework so you can get started in no time.
Installation
If you haven't already, install @aws-amplify/ui-react
with npm or yarn:
npm install @aws-amplify/ui-react aws-amplify
yarn add @aws-amplify/ui-react aws-amplify
Quick start
Here's all you need to get up and running:
import * as React from 'react';
import { Button } from '@aws-amplify/ui-react';
import '@aws-amplify/ui-react/styles.css';
function App() {
return <Button variation="primary">Hello world</Button>;
}
export default App;
Copy/paste the code above into your React app, start the app, and look at that lovely Button!
Components
You can use all of Amplify UI's primitive components (e.g., Button
, Tabs
, Flex
) right out-of-the-box. These are the same components we use to build our connected components such as the Authenticator. Please refer to each component's documentation to see how they should be imported, configured and styled.
import * as React from 'react';
import { Button } from '@aws-amplify/ui-react';
import '@aws-amplify/ui-react/styles.css';
function App() {
return (
<Button
ariaLabel="Add item to cart"
backgroundColor="#ffd811"
borderRadius="1rem"
color="black"
fontWeight="normal"
onClick={() => alert('Added to cart! ✅')}
size="small"
width="8rem"
>
Add to Cart
</Button>
);
}
export default App;
Theming
Amplify UI ships with a default theme that you can customize to match the look and feel of your project. Remember to load the default styling by importing our CSS at the entry-point to your application (e.g., src/App.js
).
import '@aws-amplify/ui-react/styles.css';
To learn how to customize the appearance of all components in your application with a theme, see theming.
import { Button, ThemeProvider } from '@aws-amplify/ui-react';
import '@aws-amplify/ui-react/styles.css'; // default theme
const theme = {
name: 'custom-button-theme',
tokens: {
components: {
button: {
// this will affect the font weight of all Buttons
fontWeight: { value: '{fontWeights.black.value}' },
// this will only style Buttons which are the "primary" variation
primary: {
backgroundColor: { value: 'rebeccapurple' },
_hover: {
backgroundColor: { value: 'hotpink' },
},
},
},
},
},
};
function App() {
return (
<ThemeProvider theme={theme}>
<Button variation="primary">Custom button</Button>
</ThemeProvider>
);
}
export default App;
