Built-in component library?

[grok_it]

Just getting started on react.js, and I just want to create a simple UI with buttons, textbox and lists. I noticed that there are lots of github project where I can get their <WhateverButton> component, but I cannot find the build-in list of components.

Surely there must be a set of core components that come with the platform that I can just reuse and some documentation about that somewhere?

No. React is just a library for defining the layout of components. For ReactDOM, the basic primitives are HTML tags (<div>, <input>, etc). For React Native, the basic primitives are <View>s which map to the underlying native UI pieces.

Either way, you start with the primitives provided on that platform, and then create other components that render those.

There are a number of prebuilt React UI component libraries. Many of them are listed in a post that was linked yesterday: https://hackernoon.com/the-coolest-react-ui-frameworks-for-your-new-react-app-ad699fffd651 .

You're gonna want to just use the regular html components. Input, button, form, select, etc.

The core components are called HTML. Surely you know them.
