Ant Design (antd)

Overview​

Ant Design is a React UI library from Ant Group with enterprise-grade tables, forms, date pickers, and layouts. It emphasizes density, internationalization, and design tokens (Ant Design 5+ CSS-in-JS theming) for large admin dashboards and internal tools.

Key concepts​

  • Components over utilities — Batteries-included widgets vs utility CSS.
  • Form + validation — Integrated with controlled fields and async rules.
  • Table — Sorting, filtering, virtualization patterns for big datasets.
  • Theming — ConfigProvider + token customization.
  • Icons & locale — @ant-design/icons, i18n bundles.

Typical admin layout​

Sample: button + table stub​

import { Button, Table, ConfigProvider } from 'antd';

const columns = [
  { title: 'Name', dataIndex: 'name', key: 'name' },
  { title: 'Role', dataIndex: 'role', key: 'role' },
];

export function Users({ data }: { data: { key: string; name: string; role: string }[] }) {
  return (
    <ConfigProvider theme={{ token: { colorPrimary: '#1677ff' } }}>
      <Button type="primary">Add user</Button>
      <Table style={{ marginTop: 16 }} columns={columns} dataSource={data} />
    </ConfigProvider>
  );
}
