Mantine UI: A Complete Guide to Building Modern Web Interfaces

Mantine UI is a comprehensive React component library designed to help developers build feature-rich and responsive web applications with minimal effort. In this blog, we will explore the core features of Mantine UI, how it compares to other libraries, and how you can use it to improve your web development projects.

Why Consider Using Mantine UI?

Speed Up Development: With over 123 responsive components, Mantine UI allows you to build websites quickly using pre-made, customizable elements.
Flexibility: All components are built with the Mantine theme in mind, making it easy to change colors, fonts, shadows, and other properties to match your design needs.
Light and Dark Mode Support: Most components come with built-in support for both light and dark themes, so you don’t need to make any additional adjustments to accommodate different color schemes.
Free and Open Source: Mantine UI is free, open-source, and licensed under MIT, meaning you can use it in any project, including commercial ones, without any restrictions.

Types of Components Available in Mantine UI

Mantine UI provides a rich selection of components tailored for different use cases, allowing developers to quickly build modern and responsive interfaces. Here, we break down three major categories of components—Application UI, Page Sections, and Blog UI. Each category includes multiple sub-types, designed to address specific parts of your web project.

1. Application UI

Application UI components are the building blocks for creating feature-rich user interfaces. These components include everything from navigational elements to interactive forms.

• Example: Navbar With Nested Links

Code: NavbarNested.tsx

import { Group, Code, ScrollArea, rem } from '@mantine/core';
import {
  IconNotes,
  IconCalendarStats,
  IconGauge,
  IconPresentationAnalytics,
  IconFileAnalytics,
  IconAdjustments,
  IconLock,
} from '@tabler/icons-react';
import { UserButton } from '../UserButton/UserButton';
import { LinksGroup } from '../NavbarLinksGroup/NavbarLinksGroup';
import { Logo } from './Logo';
import classes from './NavbarNested.module.css';


const mockdata = [
  { label: 'Dashboard', icon: IconGauge },
  {
    label: 'Market news',
    icon: IconNotes,
    initiallyOpened: true,
    links: [
      { label: 'Overview', link: '/' },
      { label: 'Forecasts', link: '/' },
      { label: 'Outlook', link: '/' },
      { label: 'Real time', link: '/' },
    ],
  },
  {
    label: 'Releases',
    icon: IconCalendarStats,
    links: [
      { label: 'Upcoming releases', link: '/' },
      { label: 'Previous releases', link: '/' },
      { label: 'Releases schedule', link: '/' },
    ],
  },
  { label: 'Analytics', icon: IconPresentationAnalytics },
  { label: 'Contracts', icon: IconFileAnalytics },
  { label: 'Settings', icon: IconAdjustments },
  {
    label: 'Security',
    icon: IconLock,
    links: [
      { label: 'Enable 2FA', link: '/' },
      { label: 'Change password', link: '/' },
      { label: 'Recovery codes', link: '/' },
    ],
  },
];


export function NavbarNested() {
  const links = mockdata.map((item) => <LinksGroup {...item} key={item.label} />);


  return (
    <nav className={classes.navbar}>
      <div className={classes.header}>
        <Group justify="space-between">
          <Logo style={{ width: rem(120) }} />
          <Code fw={700}>v3.1.2</Code>
        </Group>
      </div>


      <ScrollArea className={classes.links}>
        <div className={classes.linksInner}>{links}</div>
      </ScrollArea>


      <div className={classes.footer}>
        <UserButton />
      </div>
    </nav>
  );
}

Code: NavbarNested.module.css

2. Page Sections

Page sections allow you to create distinct, structured parts of a webpage such as headers, footers, and hero sections.

• Example: Hero Section With Background Image

Code: HeroContent.tsx

import { Overlay, Container, Title, Button, Text } from '@mantine/core';
import classes from './HeroContentLeft.module.css';


export function HeroContentLeft() {
  return (
    <div className={classes.hero}>
      <Overlay
        gradient="linear-gradient(180deg, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.25) 0%, rgba(0, 0, 0, .65) 40%)"
        opacity={1}
        zIndex={0}
      />
      <Container className={classes.container} size="md">
        <Title className={classes.title}>A fully featured React components library</Title>
        <Text className={classes.description} size="xl" mt="xl">
          Build fully functional accessible web applications faster than ever – Mantine includes
          more than 120 customizable components and hooks to cover you in any situation
        </Text>


        <Button variant="gradient" size="xl" radius="xl" className={classes.control}>
          Get started
        </Button>
      </Container>
    </div>
  );
}

Code: HeroContent.module.css

.hero {
  position: relative;
  background-image: url(https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1519389950473-47ba0277781c?ixlib=rb-1.2.1&ixid=MnwxMjA3fDB8MHxwaG90by1wYWdlfHx8fGVufDB8fHx8&auto=format&fit=crop&w=1770&q=80);
  background-size: cover;
  background-position: center;
}


.container {
  height: rem(700px);
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
  justify-content: flex-end;
  align-items: flex-start;
  padding-bottom: calc(var(--mantine-spacing-xl) * 6);
  z-index: 1;
  position: relative;


  @media (max-width: $mantine-breakpoint-sm) {
    height: rem(500px);
    padding-bottom: calc(var(--mantine-spacing-xl) * 3);
  }
}


.title {
  color: var(--mantine-color-white);
  font-size: rem(60px);
  font-weight: 900;
  line-height: 1.1;


  @media (max-width: $mantine-breakpoint-sm) {
    font-size: rem(40px);
    line-height: 1.2;
  }


  @media (max-width: $mantine-breakpoint-xs) {
    font-size: rem(28px);
    line-height: 1.3;
  }
}


.description {
  color: var(--mantine-color-white);
  max-width: rem(600px);


  @media (max-width: $mantine-breakpoint-sm) {
    max-width: 100%;
    font-size: var(--mantine-font-size-sm);
  }
}


.control {
  margin-top: calc(var(--mantine-spacing-xl) * 1.5);


  @media (max-width: $mantine-breakpoint-sm) {
    width: 100%;
  }
}

• Example: Authentication Form

Code: AuthForm.tsx

import { useToggle, upperFirst } from '@mantine/hooks';

      password: '',
      terms: true,
    },


    validate: {
      email: (val) => (/^\S+@\S+$/.test(val) ? null : 'Invalid email'),
      password: (val) => (val.length <= 6 ? 'Password should include at least 6 characters' : null),
    },
  });


  return (
    <Paper radius="md" p="xl" withBorder {...props}>
      <Text size="lg" fw={500}>

Mantine UI vs Other Component Libraries: Why Choose Mantine?

When comparing Mantine UI to other popular libraries such as Material UI, Chakra UI, and Bootstrap, each has its strengths. Here’s a straightforward comparison to help you decide which fits your project best:

1. Mantine UI vs Material UI

Customization: Mantine UI offers extensive customization options with its sx prop, allowing easy changes to styles. Material UI follows strict Material Design guidelines, which ensures consistency but can limit flexibility.
Performance: Mantine UI is known for its smaller bundle sizes, potentially improving performance in large applications. Material UI, while feature-rich, can result in larger bundle sizes.

2. Mantine UI vs Chakra UI

Component Variety: Mantine UI has a larger number of pre-built components, covering more advanced UI elements such as notifications and modals. Chakra UI focuses on simplicity and ease of use with a more minimal set of components.
Responsiveness: Both libraries are highly responsive, but Mantine UI includes light and dark mode support for most components, while Chakra UI offers similar functionality but may require additional configuration.

3. Mantine UI vs Bootstrap

Design Flexibility: Mantine UI offers a more modern design with more flexible customization options. Bootstrap follows a grid-based, utility-first design system, which is more opinionated but widely adopted for traditional layouts.
Component Modernity: Mantine UI includes more modern, React-focused components like modals, notifications, and rich text editors, while Bootstrap is primarily focused on general-purpose UI components, suitable for both static and dynamic websites.

Conclusion

Mantine UI offers a flexible and modern solution for building responsive web applications with its extensive component library, easy customization, and built-in support for theming. Compared to other popular libraries like Material UI, Chakra UI, and Bootstrap, Mantine stands out for its smaller bundle sizes, broader component variety, and more developer-friendly styling options. However, each library has its strengths, and the choice ultimately depends on your project’s specific requirements for design flexibility, performance, and ease of use.
