Progress indicators are a common UI element used to show the progress of a task or process. In this tutorial, we’ll learn how to create progress indicators using Chakra UI, a popular UI component library for React.

Chakra UI provides a simple and flexible API for creating UI components, including progress indicators. To get started, make sure you have Chakra UI installed in your project. You can install Chakra UI using npm or yarn:

npm install @chakra-ui/react @emotion/react @emotion/styled framer-motion

Once you have Chakra UI installed, you can import the necessary components to create a progress indicator. Chakra UI provides a Progress component that allows you to easily create progress bars with customizable styles and options.

Here’s an example of how to create a basic progress indicator using Chakra UI:

import { Progress } from "@chakra-ui/react";

function MyComponent() {
  return (
    <Progress value={50} />
  );
}

In the example above, we import the Progress component from Chakra UI and render it with a value prop set to 50. This will create a progress bar that is 50% filled.

Chakra UI provides various customization options for the Progress component. You can set the color of the progress bar, change the size, and even add additional text to the indicator. Here’s an example:

import { Progress } from "@chakra-ui/react";

function MyComponent() {
  return (
    <Progress value={75} colorScheme="green" size="lg">
      75%
    </Progress>
  );
}

In the above example, we set the value prop to 75, which makes the progress bar fill to 75%. We also set the colorScheme prop to “green” to change the color of the progress bar, and size prop to “lg” to increase its size.

You can further customize the appearance of the progress bar by using Chakra UI’s theme or applying CSS styles to the component.

Creating progress indicators with Chakra UI is a straightforward process that allows you to easily create visually appealing and customizable progress bars in your React applications. With its flexible API and extensive customization options, Chakra UI makes it easy to create progress indicators that fit the design and functionality of your application.
