About Elastic UI Framework
Overview
Elastic UI Framework (EUI) is the open-source component library and design system that powers the Elastic Stack. It supplies a consistent set of UI building blocks for building responsive, accessible web interfaces.
The framework organizes its offering into component and design resources. Developers get reusable components and a getting-started guide, while designers use tokens, patterns, content guidance, and icons to keep products visually consistent.
Key Benefits
- Flex layout components let you build responsive page layouts from groups, grids, panels, and items
- Tables provide sorting, pagination, selection, and actions out of the box
- Forms bundle inputs with validation inside a flexible form layout
- Design tokens let teams speed up work by using and customizing a shared style foundation
- A wide icon set and content guidance keep product copy and visuals consistent
- Buttons and button groups come in varied styles and colors to match interface needs
How It Works
Developers install the framework and make initial adjustments, then compose components such as panels, callouts, cards, tooltips, and links to build pages. Designers apply tokens, patterns, and icons to ensure their work aligns with the shared system. Contributors can help EUI improve even faster by contributing to the project.
