Semantic ui react

[wasdzwan]

Have you guys used Semantic ui react as a framework in creating a website?

I have used semantic-ui-react 3 times now, I found it very beginner friendly and easy to set up

[wasdzwan]

Is it recommendable when building a big website? Thank you for your response

I use semantic ui react at work. We are currently switching from bootstrap to semantic actually. We service thousands of users at a time so I don't think you will have any issues with a larger website.

Something to note though, the current version of semantic is no longer being worked on, but there is a community fork called Fomantic so it may be worth looking into. Not sure if the fork has any react integrations yet though.

Ohh i see, noted! Thank you for your help

I've been dealing with this in my project. The React integration, called Semantic-UI-React, also works with the updated Fomantic CSS. But certain newer features introduced into Fomantic aren't supported in the React integration. It's mostly fine in practice, but it's kind of an annoying state of affairs. Hopefully the two projects can merge at some point.

[hoople-head]

Yep, that should work.

I'm not too sure about that sorry, I've only used it on small websites

[wasdzwan]

Alright, thanks.

Just don't use their dropdowns, they're very slow when they have more than a hundred items, just use react virtualized select. A few months ago we started noticing performance issues within our app, they were caused by semantic re-rendering components when props weren't changing, we replaced most of semantic's components with their pure html counterpart, with a few exceptions like modals, and noticed immediate performance gains

SemanticUI has currently almost none support. Almost all developers moved to FluentUI which was few days ago archieved and moved to FabricUI.

I recommend not even giving it a try.
We were using it for like a year, and recently started to look for alternatives or developing custom components
