Progress bars are a common UI component used to display the progress of a task, such as file uploads, form submissions, or loading data. Chakra UI, a popular React component library, provides an easy and customizable way to work with progress bars in your applications.

Installing Chakra UI

To get started, you’ll need to install Chakra UI in your React project. Run the following command in your terminal:

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

Creating a basic progress bar

Chakra UI provides a Progress component that can be used to create a basic progress bar. Here’s an example of how to use it:

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

function App() {
  return (
    <Progress value={60} size="md" colorScheme="teal" />
  );
}

export default App;

In the example above, we import the Progress component from Chakra UI and render it with a value prop set to 60. This will display a progress bar that is 60% complete. We also specify the size and colorScheme props to customize the appearance of the progress bar.

Customizing the progress bar

Chakra UI provides several props that allow you to customize the appearance and behavior of the progress bar. Here are a few examples:

Changing the color

You can change the color of the progress bar by setting the colorScheme prop to a valid color scheme from the Chakra UI theme. For example:

<Progress value={75} colorScheme="blue" />

Adjusting the size

You can adjust the size of the progress bar by setting the size prop to one of the available sizes: sm, md, or lg. For example:

<Progress value={50} size="lg" />

Adding a label

You can add a label to the progress bar by setting the hasStripe prop to true. This will display the progress percentage as a text label on the progress bar. For example:

<Progress value={80} hasStripe />

Conclusion

Chakra UI makes it easy to work with progress bars in your React applications. By using the Progress component and customizing its props, you can create visually appealing and functional progress bars to enhance the user experience. So go ahead, give it a try, and make your applications more informative and engaging with progress bars!
