Unitycatalog Explorer Legacy
Unity Catalog Explorer is a TypeScript + Next.js based Web UI for the Unity Catalog OSS.
Overview
Unity Catalog Explorer represents an innovative approach to managing UI components with a powerful blend of TypeScript, Next.js, and Chakra UI. As a mockup project, it lays the groundwork for developing an efficient web interface for the Unity Catalog OSS. Designed with a focus on component hierarchy, the Explorer aims to provide a structured and intuitive user experience, making it easier for developers and users alike to navigate and manage their catalogs.
The project embraces the Atomic Design methodology, ensuring a cohesive architecture for UI components. With emphasis on modular design, Unity Catalog Explorer makes it easier to build, maintain, and scale, catering to the needs of modern web applications while ensuring compatibility with existing systems.

- Next.js
Next.js is a React-based web framework that enables server-side rendering, static site generation, and other powerful features for building modern web applications.
- 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
- Chakra UI
Chakra UI is a popular open-source React component library that provides a set of accessible and customizable UI components to help developers create modern web applications.
- Eslint
ESLint is a linter for JavaScript that analyzes code to detect and report on potential problems and errors, as well as enforce consistent code style and best practices, helping developers to write cleaner, more maintainable code.
- Framer Motion
Alpine.js is a lightweight JavaScript framework that simplifies the process of creating dynamic, reactive user interfaces on the web. It uses a declarative syntax that offers a higher level of abstraction compared to vanilla JavaScript, while being more performant and easier to use than jQuery.
- Storybook
Storybook is a tool for developing and testing UI components in isolation. It provides a sandbox environment where you can experiment with different props and states to see how your component responds.
- 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.
