Usage with create-react-app

create-react-app is one of the best React application development tools, This article will try to use create-react-app to create a TypeScript project, and introduce antd.

We build antd based on latest stable version of TypeScript (>=5.0.0), please make sure your project dependency matches it.

Install and Initialization

Before all start, you may need install yarn or pnpm or bun.

The tool will create and initialize environment and dependencies automatically, please try config your proxy setting or use another npm registry if any network errors happen during it.

Then we go inside project and start it.

$ cd antd-demo
$ npm run start

Open the browser at http://localhost:3000/. It renders a header saying Welcome to React on the page.

Import antd

Below is the default directory structure.

├── README.md
├── package.json
├── public
│   ├── favicon.ico
│   └── index.html
├── src
│   ├── App.css
│   ├── App.js
│   ├── App.test.js
│   ├── index.css
│   ├── index.js
│   └── logo.svg
└── yarn.lock

Now we install antd from yarn or npm or pnpm.

Modify src/App.js, import Button component from antd.

import React from 'react';
import { Button } from 'antd';

const App: React.FC = () => (
  <div className="App">
    <Button type="primary">Button</Button>
  </div>
);

export default App;

OK, you should now see a blue primary button displayed on the page. Next you can choose any components of antd to develop your application. Visit other workflows of create-react-app at its User Guide.

Customize Theme

Ref to the Customize Theme documentation. Modify theme with ConfigProvider:

import React from 'react';
import { ConfigProvider } from 'antd';

const App: React.FC = () => (
  <ConfigProvider theme={{ token: { colorPrimary: '#00b96b' } }}>
    <MyApp />
  </ConfigProvider>
);

export default App;

antd is written in TypeScript with complete definitions, try out and enjoy the property suggestion and typing check.

Don't install @types/antd.

We are successfully running antd components now, go build your own application!
