Component libraries integration in Remix - Mini Project: Build & Apply

Component libraries integration

📖 Scenario: You are building a simple Remix app page that uses a component library to show styled buttons.This helps you learn how to add and use components from external libraries in Remix.

🎯 Goal: Create a Remix component that imports a button from a component library and renders it with a label.

📋 What You'll Learn

Create a Remix component file with a default export function

Import the Button component from the @chakra-ui/react library

Render the Button component with the text 'Click Me'

Add a color scheme prop colorScheme='blue' to the Button

💡 Why This Matters

🌍 Real World

Using component libraries like Chakra UI in Remix helps build beautiful, consistent user interfaces quickly without writing all styles yourself.

💼 Career

Many web developer jobs require integrating UI component libraries into frameworks like Remix to speed up development and maintain design consistency.

1

Create the Remix component file

Create a default export function called ButtonDemo in a file. Inside it, return a div with the text 'Button Demo'.

Remix

export default function ButtonDemo() {
  // Your code here
}

Hint

Use a function named ButtonDemo and return a simple div with text inside.

2

Import the Button component from Chakra UI

Add an import statement to import Button from @chakra-ui/react at the top of the file.

Remix

import { Button } from '@chakra-ui/react';

export default function ButtonDemo() {
  return Button Demo;
  // Your code here
}

Hint

Use curly braces to import Button from the package @chakra-ui/react.

3

Render the Button component with label

Replace the div inside the ButtonDemo function to render the Button component with the text 'Click Me'.

Remix

import { Button } from '@chakra-ui/react';

export default function ButtonDemo() {
  return (
    // Your code here
  );
}

Hint

Use the Button component as a JSX tag and put 'Click Me' inside it.

4

Add a color scheme to the Button

Add the prop colorScheme='blue' to the Button component to style it with a blue color.

Remix

import { Button } from '@chakra-ui/react';

export default function ButtonDemo() {
  return Click Me;
  // Your code here
}

Hint

Add the colorScheme attribute inside the Button tag with value 'blue'.
