Core Features & Use Cases

  • Layout primitives: Box, Flex, Stack, Grid, Center, SimpleGrid for rapid, responsive layouts.
  • Common components: Button, Input, FormControl, Text, Heading, Badge, Alert, Modal/Dialog, Toast, and accessible controls.
  • Theming and tokens: Centralized theming with tokens for colors, spacing, borders, and radii, enabling easy global styling and dark-mode support.
  • Accessibility: Built-in ARIA patterns, proper focus management, and keyboard-friendly interactions.

Quick Start

Wrap your app with ChakraProvider and start building interfaces using Box, Flex, and Text with a theme.
