Using Fluent UI React

$3

To create a simple React app using Create React App, install Node.js, then run:

``sh
npx create-react-app my-app
cd my-app
npm install @fluentui/react
npm start
`

See the next section for some starter code using Fluent UI React controls.

$3

`sh
npm i @fluentui/react

Or, use yarn


yarn add @fluentui/react
`

This will add the package as a dependency in your package.json file and download it under node_modules/@fluentui/react.

The library includes ES2015 module entry points under the lib folder (use lib-amd if you need AMD, or lib-commonjs if you need commonjs). To use a control, import it and then use it in your render method:

`jsx
import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import { PrimaryButton } from '@fluentui/react/lib/Button';

ReactDOM.render(I am a button., document.getElementById('root'));
`

$3

Fluent UI React adheres to semantic versioning. However, we only consider constructs directly importable at the package level or from files at the root (e.g. @fluentui/react/lib/Utilities or @fluentui/react/lib-amd/Styling) to be part of our API surface. Everything else is considered package-internal and may be subject to changes, moves, renames, etc.

$3

Fluent UI React supports all evergreen browsers, with IE 11 as the min-bar version of Internet Explorer. See the browser support doc for more information.

$3

All components can render in LTR or RTL, depending on the dir attribute set on the html element (dir="rtl" will flip the direction of everything). You can also use the setRTL API if you don't have control over the html element's rendering. Example:

`tsx
import { setRTL } from '@fluentui/react/lib/Utilities';

setRTL(true);
`

$3

Fluent UI React components can be rendered in a server-side Node environment (or used in tests which run in an SSR-like environment), but it requires customizing how styles and SCSS files are loaded. See the server-side rendering documentation for examples of how to handle this.

For info about advanced usage including module- vs. path-based imports, using an AMD bundler like RequireJS, and deployment features, see our advanced documentation.

Building the repo

Before you get started, make sure you have read the Git branch setup instructions

To view the documentation including examples, contracts, component status, and to add functionality or fix issues locally, you can:

1. git clone https://github.com/microsoft/fluentui.git
2. cd fluentui
3. yarn
4. yarn builddemo
5. yarn start

This will start a demo page from the office-ui-fabric-react package folder, which will open a web browser with the example page. You can make changes to the code which will automatically build and refresh the page using live-reload.

To build and run tests for all packages in the repo, run yarn build from the root.

To build individual packages within the packages/ or apps/ folders, cd to the relevant folder and run yarn build. Note that because the packages are symlinked together, you must manage building dependencies in the right order, or use the yarn buildto script to build to the specific package you want.

#### Advanced build commands

There are more advanced build commands listed in the Build Commands wiki page.

For info about testing, see our testing documentation.

Fluent UI React

The React-based front-end framework for building experiences for Microsoft 365.

Fluent UI React (formerly Office UI Fabric React) is a collection of robust React-based components designed to make it simple for you to create consistent web experiences using the Fluent Design Language.

For information about available controls, see the Fluent UI website.

To get started using or contributing to Fluent UI React, see the full readme.

Moving to @fluentui/react

Going forward, the office-ui-fabric-package will be renamed to @fluentui/react. The @fluentui/react package exists today as a mirror of office-ui-fabric-react's public API surface. (Updates will still be published under both names for at least the duration of version 7.)

If you'd like to start using @fluentui/react now, you can do so by changing your dependency and imports.

Imports in either of these formats can be directly renamed:

`ts
// Old
import { TextField } from 'office-ui-fabric-react';
import { TextField } from 'office-ui-fabric-react/lib/TextField';

// New
import { TextField } from '@fluentui/react';
import { TextField } from '@fluentui/react/lib/TextField';
`

However, deeper imports from internal files will not work with @fluentui/react. (These types of imports are also unsupported today, as internal file paths are considered private APIs and therefore subject to change without notice.)

`ts
// Not supported currently; won't work with @fluentui/react
import { TextField } from 'office-ui-fabric-react/lib/components/TextField/index';

// Use instead
import { TextField } from '@fluentui/react';
import { TextField } from '@fluentui/react/lib/TextField';
``

If you're currently depending on an API which you think should be public but is not exported from the top level of the package, please file an issue to discuss.
