Using Fabric React

Here is a step-by-step tutorial on how to build a simple React app with office-ui-fabric-react components.

How to integrate components into your project depends heavily on your setup. The recommended setup is to use a bundler such as Webpack which can resolve NPM package imports in your code and bundle only the specific things you import.

Within an npm project, you should install the package and save it as a dependency:

npm install --save office-ui-fabric-react

This will add the package as a dependency in your package.json file and download it under node_modules/office-ui-fabric-react.

The library includes ES2015 module entry points under the lib folder (use lib-amd if you need AMD, or lib-commonjs if you need commonjs). To use a control, import it and then use it in your render method:

import * as React from 'react';
import * as ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import { PrimaryButton } from 'office-ui-fabric-react/lib/Button';

ReactDOM.render(<PrimaryButton>I am a button.</PrimaryButton>, document.body.firstChild);

Version policy

Fabric React adheres to semantic versioning. However, we only consider constructs directly importable at the package level or from files at the root (e.g. office-ui-fabric-react/lib/Utilities or office-ui-fabric-react/lib-amd/Styling) to be part of our API surface. Everything else is considered package-internal and may be subject to changes, moves, renames, etc.

Browser support

Fabric React supports all evergreen browsers, with IE 11 as the min-bar version of Internet Explorer. See the browser support doc for more information.

Right-to-left support

All components can render in LTR or RTL, depending on the dir attribute set on the html element (dir="rtl" will flip the direction of everything). You can also use the setRTL API if you don't have control over the html element's rendering. Example:

import { setRTL } from 'office-ui-fabric-react/lib/Utilities';

setRTL(true);

Server-side rendering

Fabric components can be rendered in a server-side Node environment (or used in tests which run in an SSR-like environment), but it requires customizing how styles and SCSS files are loaded. See the server-side rendering documentation for examples of how to handle this.

Advanced usage

For info about advanced usage including module- vs. path-based imports, using an AMD bundler like RequireJS, and deployment features, see our advanced documentation.

Building the repo

Before you get started, make sure you have read the Git branch setup instructions

To view the documentation including examples, contracts, component status, and to add functionality or fix issues locally, you can:

  1. git clone https://github.com/OfficeDev/office-ui-fabric-react.git
  2. cd office-ui-fabric-react
  3. npm install
  4. npm start

This will start a demo page from the office-ui-fabric-react package folder, which will open a web browser with the example page. You can make changes to the code which will automatically build and refresh the page using live-reload.

To build and run tests for all packages in the repo, run npm run build from the root.

To build individual packages within the packages/* or apps/* folders, cd to the relevant folder and run npm run build. Note that because the packages are symlinked together, you must manage building dependencies in the right order, or use the rush tool to build to the specific package you want. (See advanced tips below.)

Testing

For info about testing, see our testing documentation.

Advanced building tips

The repo contains many packages, each which may have dependencies on each other. You can use Rush to build projects in the correct order, if you have it globally installed.

npm install -g @microsoft/rush

To use Rush to build, you can run rush build, which will incrementally build the entire repo (only build what has changed since the last build). If you don't have Rush globally installed, you can use the command npm run buildfast, which abstracts rush build.

To build up to a specific project, use the --to <package> argument. For example, to build up to office-ui-fabric-react, run:

rush build --to office-ui-fabric-react
