Install Chakra UI In React
Run below command to install chakra-ui in react.
npm i @chakra-ui/react @emotion/react @emotion/styled framer-motion
# or
yarn add @chakra-ui/react @emotion/react @emotion/styled framer-motion
# or
pnpm add @chakra-ui/react @emotion/react @emotion/styled framer-motion
After installing Chakra UI, you need to set up the ChakraProvider at the root of your application.
Go to the src directory and inside main.tsx, wrap ChakraProvider around App:
src/main.tsx
import React from "react";
import ReactDOM from "react-dom/client";
import { ChakraProvider } from "@chakra-ui/react";
import App from "./App";
ReactDOM.createRoot(document.getElementById("root") as HTMLElement).render(
<React.StrictMode>
<ChakraProvider>
<App />
</ChakraProvider>
</React.StrictMode>
);
Now Test Chakra UI components.
App.tsx
import { Heading, Flex } from "@chakra-ui/react";
export default function App() {
return (
<>
<Flex height="100vh" alignItems="center" justifyContent="center">
<Heading>Install Chakra UI In React JS</Heading>
</Flex>
</>
);
}
