Introduction
FlashUI (here (opens in a new tab)) is an open-source library of user interface (UI) components developed using BOS components . This library provides a diverse collection of UI components readily available for you to use in production right away.
FlashUI is beautifully designed by default and comes with a range of customizability options to easily implement your own custom design system based on its components.
Advantages of FlashUI
Accelerated Development
With contributions from thousands of open-source contributors, FlashUI has undergone many hours of collaborative development to build these components. This allows you to focus on your core application logic instead of building UI components from scratch - we've got the UI covered for you.
Beautiful by Default
We pay meticulous attention to implementing BOS components carefully, ensuring that every component in FlashUI meets the highest standards of form and function. However, FlashUI also allows you to customize the design to meet your specific preferences.
Customizability
FlashUI includes a wide range of user-friendly customization features. The templates in our store illustrate how far you can go in customizing your interface design.
Cross-Team Collaboration
The intuitive development experience of FlashUI minimizes barriers between backend developers and less technical designers, enabling teams to collaborate more effectively. Design kits streamline your workflow and promote consistency between designers and developers.
FlashUI vs. BOS component
FlashUI and BOS components offer many similar UI components. However, there are some key differences between them:
- FlashUI is a comprehensive library that comes with default styling and is optimized to work with Emotion or styled-components.
- BOS components can be considered as the "bare-bones" or "unstyled" counterpart to FlashUI. In fact, future versions of FlashUI will use BOS components and hooks for its foundational structure.
