Dependencies

Majority of PrimeReact components (95%) are native and there are some exceptions having 3rd party dependencies such as Google Maps for GMap.

In addition, components require PrimeIcons for icons and react-transition-group for animations. The react-transition-group is available as dependencies in the npm package of PrimeReact.

dependencies: {
    "react": "^17.0.0 || ^18.0.0",
    "react-dom": "^17.0.0 || ^18.0.0",
    "primeicons": "^5.0.0 || ^6.0.0"
}

Optional

Here is the list of components with 3rd party dependencies.

Component	Dependency
Charts	Charts.js 3.x
GMap	Google Maps
Editor	Quill.js
DataView	PrimeFlex

Styles

The css dependencies are as follows, note that you may change the theme with another one of your choice.

primereact/resources/themes/lara-light-indigo/theme.css
primereact/resources/primereact.min.css
primeicons/primeicons.css

If you are using a bundler such as webpack with a css loader you may also import them to your main application component, an example from create-react-app would be.

import 'primereact/resources/themes/lara-light-indigo/theme.css';
import 'primereact/resources/primereact.min.css';
import 'primeicons/primeicons.css';

QuickStart

Example applications based on create-react-app and Next.js are available at github.

TypeScript

Typescript is fully supported as type definition files are provided in the npm package of PrimeReact. A sample typescript-primereact application is available as well at github.
