Fluent UI React
An ecosystem for building highly customizable enterprise class user interfaces.
Overview
The transition of the Fluent UI React library to the OfficeDev repository marks a significant evolutionary step for Microsoft's design framework. By consolidating various UI projects under the Fluent UI name, Microsoft aims to create a more cohesive development experience. This shift promises enhanced performance and broader interoperability across their platforms, which is exciting news for developers who rely on consistent and efficient UI components.
The Fluent UI React package will continue to receive updates and support, particularly for applications like Teams, ensuring that developers can build applications with assurance. The move is indicative of Microsoft's commitment to refining its design tools, which can ultimately lead to richer user experiences.

- React
React is a widely used JavaScript library for building user interfaces and single-page applications. It follows a component-based architecture and uses a virtual DOM to efficiently update and render UI components
- GitHub Pages
Gridsome is a Vue.js-based static site generator that makes it easy to build fast and flexible websites and applications by leveraging modern web technologies like GraphQL, Webpack, and hot reloading
- Gulp
Gulp.js is an old but popular site building tool that automates various repetitive development tasks in web development, such as compiling Sass, minifying JavaScript, and optimizing images.
- Typescript
TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript, providing optional static typing, classes, interfaces, and other features that help developers write more maintainable and scalable code. TypeScript's static typing system can catch errors at compile-time, making it easier to build and maintain large applications.
