Hi, I start building an admin dashboard with next.js and looking for a frontend framework ( components ready ). So I end up with Ant Design and Material-UI, but I never built a project with these two.
Here is a list of my requirements.
- Good documentation.
- easy CRUD ( date picker and date range picker bundled )
- built-in multi-lang feature or Great 3rd library support
- Admin dashboard template
- well code maintenance
Which is better for the long run?
I'm using both of them. But If you want to create admin dashboard, You should try AntDesign. They (Alibaba / Taobao) created a group of UI libaries to create admin dashboard. It's production ready. https://procomponents.ant.design/en-US/components/table https://pro.ant.design/docs/layout In my opinion, If you want to create a dashboard with mobile first / simple dashboard, you can choice material ui. otherwise, antdesign is better (if you want focus on desktop /tablet ui). Some of skeleton has built with material ui such as react-admin is good point to start. But if you want to create admin site with antdesign, I think you should build with umijs (it is alternative and compatible with nextjs and antd support directlly)
https://github.com/uber/baseweb I highly recommend you baseweb, it's easy and very customizable and also beautiful.
