Chakra UI is a popular UI component library for React that allows you to easily style your applications. In this blog post, we will explore how to use Chakra UI to style tags and enhance the overall look and feel of your website.

Installation

To get started with Chakra UI, you need to install it in your React project. Open your terminal and run the following command:

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

After the installation is complete, you can import Chakra UI components into your project.

Styling Tags

Tags are an essential part of many websites, allowing users to filter and categorize content. Chakra UI offers a Tag component that makes it easy to style and customize these tags.

Here’s an example of how you can use the Tag component:

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

function MyComponent() {
  return (
    <>
      <Tag size="lg" variant="solid" colorScheme="teal">
        Technology
      </Tag>

      <Tag size="md" variant="subtle" colorScheme="purple">
        Design
      </Tag>

      <Tag size="sm" variant="outline" colorScheme="blue">
        Development
      </Tag>
    </>
  );
}

In the above example, we have used different sizes, variants, and color schemes for the Tag component. You can customize these properties according to your requirements.

Chakra UI provides a wide range of customization options for the Tag component. You can adjust the size, shape, colors, and typography to match your application’s visual style.

Customizing Tags

If you want to go beyond the pre-defined styles provided by Chakra UI, you can easily customize tags further using the chakra prop. This prop allows you to add custom CSS properties to the component.

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

function MyComponent() {
  return (
    <>
      <Tag
        size="lg"
        bg="purple.500"
        color="white"
        borderRadius="md"
        _hover=
      >
        Custom Tag
      </Tag>
    </>
  );
}

In the above example, we are using the chakra prop to add custom styles to the Tag component. We have changed the background color, text color, and added hover effects using the _hover pseudo-selector.

By using Chakra UI’s Tag component, you can easily style tags in your React applications. With its customizable options, you can achieve a consistent and visually appealing design.
