title: Ant Design of React
---

Following Ant Design specification, We develop a React UI library `antd` that contains a set of high quality components and demos for building rich interactive desktop applications.

<div class="pic-plus">
  <img width="150" src="https://t.alipayobjects.com/images/rmsweb/T11aVgXc4eXXXXXXXX.svg">
  <span>+</span>
  <img width="160" src="https://t.alipayobjects.com/images/rmsweb/T16xRhXkxbXXXXXXXX.svg">
</div>

<style>
.pic-plus > * {
  display: inline-block!important;
  vertical-align: middle;
}
.pic-plus span {
  font-size: 30px;
  color: #aaa;
  margin: 0 20px;
}
</style>

## Installation

### Using npm or yarn

**We recommend using npm or yarn to install**，it not only makes development easier，but you can also take advantage of the whole ecosystem.

```bash
$ npm install antd --save
```

```bash
$ yarn add antd
```

If you are in a bad network enviornment，you can try other registers and tools like [cnpm](https://github.com/cnpm/cnpm).

### Import in Browser

Add `script` and `link` tag in your browser and use global variable `antd`.

We provide `antd.js` `antd.css` and `antd.min.js` `antd.min.css` under `antd/dist` in antd's npm package. Also you can download from [![CDNJS](https://img.shields.io/cdnjs/v/antd.svg?style=flat-square)](https://cdnjs.com/libraries/antd) or [unpkg](https://unpkg.com/).

> **We are strongly not recommended to use these built files**, that make you import all components with large size, and you cannot get bugfixes from the dependencies of antd.

## Usage

```jsx
import { DatePicker } from 'antd';
ReactDOM.render(<DatePicker />, mountNode);
```

And import style manually:

```jsx
import 'antd/dist/antd.css';  // or 'antd/dist/antd.less'
```

### Use modularized antd

- Use [babel-plugin-import](https://github.com/ant-design/babel-plugin-import) (Recommended)

   ```js
   // .babelrc or babel-loader option
   {
     "plugins": [
       ["import", { libraryName: "antd", style: "css" }] // `style: true` for less
     ]
   }
   ```

   Then you can import components from antd, equivalent to import manually below.

   ```jsx
   // import js and css modularly, parsed by babel-plugin-import
   import { DatePicker } from 'antd';
   ```

- Manually import

   ```jsx
   import DatePicker from 'antd/lib/date-picker';  // for js
   import 'antd/lib/date-picker/style/css';        // for css
   // import 'antd/lib/date-picker/style';         // that will import less
   ```

### TypeScript

```js
// tsconfig.json
{
 "compilerOptions": {
   "moduleResolution": "node",
   "jsx": "preserve",
   "allowSyntheticDefaultImports": true
 }
}
```

> Note: set `allowSyntheticDefaultImports` to prevent `error TS1192: Module 'react' has no default export`.

> Note: Don't use @types/antd, antd provide a built-in ts definition already.
