Overview
Mantine is a comprehensive React component library with over 100 components, 50+ hooks, and extensions for forms, dates, charts, rich text editing, and more. It provides everything you need to build modern web applications with accessible, customizable components.
Mantine v7 moved from emotion-based CSS-in-JS to CSS Modules, eliminating runtime styling overhead. The library offers deep theming capabilities with CSS custom properties, dark mode support, and a consistent design language. Its hook library (@mantine/hooks) provides useful utilities like useDisclosure, useClipboard, and useDebouncedValue.
