ReactJS Chakra-UI Card Component

Introduction

ReactJS is a popular JavaScript library for building web applications. Chakra-UI is a free and open-source UI toolkit built with ReactJS that provides a set of accessible, reusable, and composable components for building modern applications.

One of the most commonly used components in web development is the card component, which is used to display information in a defined layout. Chakra-UI provides a card component that can be easily integrated into your ReactJS web application.

Getting started

To use the Chakra-UI card component in your ReactJS application, you need to first install Chakra-UI. You can do this using npm or yarn. Here's an example of how to install Chakra-UI using npm:

npm install @chakra-ui/react

Once you've installed Chakra-UI in your application, you can import the card component like this:

import { Box, Image, Badge, Heading, Text } from "@chakra-ui/react";

Using the card component

The Chakra-UI card component provides a set of properties that you can use to customize its layout and appearance. Here's an example of how to use the card component to display information about a product:

function ProductCard() {
  return (
    <Box maxW="sm" borderWidth="1px" borderRadius="lg" overflow="hidden">
      <Image src="https://bit.ly/2Z4KKcF" alt="product image" />

      <Box p="6">
        <Box d="flex" alignItems="baseline">
          <Badge borderRadius="full" px="2" colorScheme="teal">
            New
          </Badge>
          <Box
            color="gray.500"
            fontWeight="semibold"
            letterSpacing="wide"
            fontSize="xs"
            ml="2"
          >
            18 SEPTEMBER 2021
          </Box>
        </Box>

        <Box mt="1" fontWeight="semibold" as="h4" lineHeight="tight" isTruncated>
          Beats Solo3 Wireless Headphones
        </Box>

        <Box>
          <Text mt="2" color="gray.600">
            With up to 40 hours of battery life, Beats Solo3 Wireless is your perfect everyday headphone.
          </Text>
        </Box>

        <Box d="flex" mt="2" alignItems="center">
          <Box as="span" ml="2" color="gray.600" fontSize="sm">
            $199
          </Box>
        </Box>
      </Box>
    </Box>
  );
}

In this example, we've used the Box component to create a container for the card. We've set the maxW (maximum width), borderWidth, and borderRadius properties to define the layout of the card.

We've used the Image component to display a product image, and the Box component to create a container for the product information.

We've used the Badge component to display a "New" label, and the Box component to display the date. We've used the fontWeight, fontSize, and color properties to style the text.

We've used the Text component to display the product description, and the Box component to create a container for the price.

Conclusion

The Chakra-UI card component is a powerful tool for displaying information in a defined layout. With its set of customizable properties, you can easily create a beautiful card component for your ReactJS web application.
