Overview
Tamagui is a complete universal UI kit built for both web and native apps. It includes @tamagui/core, which is a universal style system, and @tamagui/static, an optimizing compiler that works with core and tamagui. The goal of Tamagui is to allow developers to share more code between web and native apps while maintaining a high level of performance and code maintainability. It achieves this through an optimizing compiler that generates platform-specific optimizations and a "CSS-in-JS" style system that can flatten even inline styles with logic into flattened nodes. This results in significant runtime performance improvements.
Features
- Universal style system: Tamagui includes @tamagui/core, which is a style system that can be used for both web and native apps.
- Optimizing compiler: Tamagui also includes @tamagui/static, an optimizing compiler that works with core and tamagui. This compiler generates platform-specific optimizations and improves runtime performance.
- Flattening of styled components: The optimizing compiler can flatten a large percentage of styled components in your app, resulting in improved performance. It understands a rich "CSS-in-JS" style system and can flatten even inline styles with logic into flattened nodes.
- Atomic CSS and partially evaluated code: The compiler generates atomic CSS and partially evaluated code, which further enhances runtime performance.
- Easy contribution: Tamagui is a monorepo that makes it easy to contribute to the project.
- 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
- React Native
React Native is a framework for building mobile applications using React and JavaScript. It enables developers to write once and deploy to multiple platforms, including iOS, Android, and the web, while providing a native app-like experience to users.
- Vite
Vite is a build tool that aims to provide a faster and leaner development experience for modern web projects
- Tailwind
Tailwind CSS is a utility-first CSS framework that provides pre-defined classes for building responsive and customizable user interfaces.
- UI Kits & Components
A UI kit provides developers with a set of reusable components that can be easily integrated into a website or application. These components are pre-designed with consistent styling and functionality, allowing developers to save time and effort in the design and development process. UI kits can be either custom-built or third-party, and often include components for buttons, forms, typography, icons, and more.
- 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.
- Webpack
Webpack is a popular open-source module bundler for JavaScript applications that bundles and optimizes the code and its dependencies for production-ready deployment. It can also be used to transform other types of assets such as CSS, images, and fonts.
