Ecosystem

Help us make this page better!

React boasts a vast ecosystem of open-source libraries, plugins, and features that can help your team rapidly develop UIs and applications.

Generally, to make our list below, the library in question needs to have support and active development/maintenance. The rules are not strict, something like 100K+ weekly downloads on npm and a release within the last 6-12 months.

Premade Hooks

Utility Libraries

Utility libraries typically bring an array of functions at your disposal, either all around a single domain (such as dates/timezones) or more generic (array sorting, object cloning, deep comparisons, etc.)

Forms & Inputs

The form libraries below can help you build complex forms, and the input components can bring non-standard browser input types (such as datepickers, multi-select dropdowns, etc.) into your application.

react-hook-form
react-final-form
rc-field-form
formik
We recommend zod or yup for form validation

Form UI & Inputs

For basic form elements like dropdowns, radio groups, checkboxes, we recommend headless UI libraries (read about them on our UI / Styling page).
