Intro

What Ant Design Does

  • 60+ components — Button, Table, Form, Modal, Drawer, DatePicker, Upload, Tree, Transfer
  • Pro Components — advanced patterns (ProForm, ProTable, ProList)
  • Design tokens — seed, map, alias token hierarchy
  • Theming — customize via ConfigProvider or CSS variables (v5)
  • i18n — 30+ locales built in
  • Forms — integrated form engine with validation
  • Tables — sorting, filtering, pagination, fixed columns, virtual scrolling
  • Charts — Ant Design Charts companion library

Architecture

v5 dropped Less for a token-based runtime theming engine (powered by @ant-design/cssinjs). This lets you customize themes at runtime without rebuild. Components consume design tokens; ConfigProvider cascades theme, locale, and direction.

Self-Hosting

Client library.

常见问题 FAQ

Q: v5 主题怎么定制？ A: ConfigProvider 的 theme 属性接受 token（颜色/圆角/字体）和 components（覆盖单组件）。运行时生效无需重 build。

Q: 包体积问题？ A: v5 默认按需加载，配合 tree-shaking 只打包用到的组件。Pro Components 是独立包。

Q: 和 Arco Design 怎么选？ A: Ant Design 生态最大、国际化完善；Arco 设计更现代、字节内部打磨，API 更精简。看团队偏好。
