Curated List of React Components & Libraries.

🚀 Absolutely Awesome React Components & Libraries

This is a list of AWESOME components. Nope, it's NOT a comprehensive list of every React component under the sun. So, what does "awesome" mean? Well:

  • It solves a real problem
  • It does so in a 🦄 unique, 🦋 beautiful, or 🏆 exceptional way. (And it's not super popular and well-known... no point in listing those.)
  • It has recent code commits!

Look for a 🚀 for truly amazing projects. And look for quickie maintainer commentary and reviews in (italic parens) after some listings of note.

See also: Awesome React Frameworks.

Maintainers:

  • @petebray, author of Fluxguard — monitor PROD website changes.
  • @brillout, author of Vike — a fast Vite-based React framework that is flexible, lean, community-driven and dependable.

Contributing

Please review our contributing guidelines. We keep this list fresh by requiring all PRs to remove one or more non-awesome entries

Vitesse - Opinionated Vite Starter Template

Mocking up web app with Vitesse(speed)

Live Demo

Note: This template is created during the early transition of Vue 3 and Vite. At this moment, if you are seeking for better Vue developer experience and more consistent maintenance, we recommend using Nuxt 3 instead (it also works perfectly with SPA or SSG as needed). This template still serves as a reference, but expect slower updates.

Do more with less JavaScript. Microsite is a smarter, performance-obsessed static site generator powered by Preact and Snowpack.



microsite


microsite is a fast, opinionated static-site generator (SSG) built on top of Snowpack. It outputs extremely minimal clientside code using automatic partial hydration.

npm init microsite
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Microsite's public API is quite stable, but I caution professional users to consider this a WIP! There are plenty of quirks and bugs (especially with dev mode) that are being ironed out until Microsite reaches a more stable v2.0.0!


Microsite is an ESM node package, so it needs to run in a Node environment which supports ESM. We support the latest version of node v12.x LTS (Erbium) — see Engines for more details.

Ensure that your project includes "type": "module" in package.json, which will allow you to use ESM in your project's node scripts.

Microsite uses the file-system to generate your static site, meaning each component in…
