title: Getting Started
---
Ant Design React is dedicated to providing a **good development experience** for programmers. Make sure that you had installed [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/)(> v6.5) correctly.
---
Before delving into Ant Design React, a good knowledge of [React](http://facebook.github.io/react/) and [JavaScript ES2015](http://babeljs.io/docs/learn-es2015/) is needed.
## First Example
2017-11-29 20:27:52 +08:00
The following CodeSandbox demo is the simplest use case, and it's also a good habit to fork this demo to provide a re-producible demo while reporting a bug. Please don't use this demo as a scaffold in production.
2017-11-29 20:27:52 +08:00
- [antd CodeSandbox](https://u.ant.design/codesandbox-repro)
## Standard Development Flow
During development, you may need to compile and debug JSX and ES2015 code, and even proxy some of the requests to mock data or other external services. All of these can be done with quick feedback provided through hot reloading of changes.
Such features, together with packaging the production version, are covered in this work flow.
### 1. Installation
2017-02-19 18:20:56 +08:00
[antd-init](https://github.com/ant-design/antd-init/) is a demo only scaffold tool. If you want to create real world projects, [dva-cli](https://github.com/dvajs/dva-cli) is our recommendation.
```bash
$ npm install antd-init -g
```
Read [the documentation of `antd-init`](https://github.com/ant-design/antd-init/) and [the documentation of `ant-tool`](http://ant-tool.github.io/) to explore more features.
> Also, you can use scaffold/demo which is provided by community:

### 2. Create a New Project
A new project can be created using CLI tools.
```bash
$ mkdir antd-demo && cd antd-demo
$ antd-init
```
`antd-init` will run `npm install` after a project is created. If it fails, you can run `npm install` by yourself.
### 3. Use antd's Components
By default, besides the scaffolding needed to start the development, a fully working Todo application is created.
You may study this example later. For now, just follow this guide in order to get some experience working with the result of `antd-init`.
Replace the content of `index.js` with the following code.
As you can see, there is no difference between antd's components and usual React components.
```jsx
import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import { LocaleProvider, DatePicker, message } from 'antd';
// The default locale is en-US, but we can change it to other language
import frFR from 'antd/lib/locale-provider/fr_FR';
import moment from 'moment';
import 'moment/locale/fr';
2017-12-07 15:42:47 +08:00
moment.locale('fr');
class App extends React.Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = {
date: '',
};
}
handleChange(date) {
message.info('Selected Date: ' + date.toString());
this.setState({ date });
}
render() {
return (
<LocaleProvider locale={frFR}>
<div style={{ width: 400, margin: '100px auto' }}>
<DatePicker onChange={value => this.handleChange(value)} />
<div style={{ marginTop: 20 }}>Date: {this.state.date.toString()}</div>
</div>
</LocaleProvider>
);
}
}
ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById('root'));
```
> All the components in antd are listed in the sidebar.
### 4. Development & Debugging
2017-09-25 16:59:40 +08:00
Run your project and visit http://127.0.0.1:8001
```bash
$ npm start
```
### 5. Building & Deployment
```bash
$ npm run build
```
Entry files will be built and generated in `dist` directory, where we can deploy it to different environments.
> This guide is designed to help you to understand how to use antd, so it may not be similar to what you do in the real world.
> But you can use those tools in your project, depending on your context and needs.
## Compatibility
2016-09-28 00:07:31 +08:00
Ant Design React supports all the modern browsers and IE9+.
You need to provide [es5-shim](https://github.com/es-shims/es5-shim) and [es6-shim](https://github.com/paulmillr/es6-shim) and other polyfills for IE browsers.
If you are using babel, we strongly recommend using [babel-polyfill](https://babeljs.io/docs/usage/polyfill/) and [babel-plugin-transform-runtime](https://babeljs.io/docs/plugins/transform-runtime/) instead of those two shims.
> Please avoid using both the babel and shim methods at the same time.
> If you run into problems with [startsWith ](https://github.com/ant-design/ant-design/issues/3400#issuecomment-253181445), you should import [es6-shim](https://github.com/paulmillr/es6-shim) or [babel-polyfill](https://babeljs.io/docs/usage/polyfill/) as a workaround.

#### IE8 note
2016-10-15 17:26:39 +08:00
> We don't support IE8 after `antd@2.0`.
You may encounter problems like [#28](https://github.com/ant-tool/atool-build/issues/28) and [#858](https://github.com/ant-design/ant-design/issues/858), since `babel@6.x` doesn't support IE8. You can refer to this [webpack config](https://github.com/ant-design/antd-init/blob/f5fb9479ca973fade51fd6754e50f8b3fafbb1df/boilerplate/webpack.config.js#L4-L8).
> More about how to use React in IE8: https://github.com/xcatliu/react-ie8
## Customized Work Flow
If you want to customize your work flow, we recommend using [webpack](http://webpack.github.io/) to build and debug code.
Also, you can use any [scaffold](https://github.com/enaqx/awesome-react#boilerplates) available in the React ecosystem. If you encounter problems, you can use our [webpack config](https://github.com/ant-tool/atool-build/blob/master/src/getWebpackCommonConfig.js) and [modify it](http://ant-tool.github.io/webpack-config.html).
There are some [scaffolds](https://github.com/ant-design/ant-design/issues/129) which have already integrated antd, so you can try and start with one of these, and even contribute.
## Import on Demand
2017-10-06 16:08:56 +08:00
If you see logs like below screenshot, you might be importing all components by writing `import { Button } from 'antd';`. This will affect your app's network performance.
2017-01-09 21:03:12 +08:00
2017-04-12 20:56:47 +08:00
```
You are using a whole package of antd, please use https://www.npmjs.com/package/babel-plugin-import to reduce app bundle size.
```
> ![](https://zos.alipayobjects.com/rmsportal/GHIRszVcmjccgZRakJDQ.png)
2017-01-09 21:03:12 +08:00
2017-04-12 20:56:47 +08:00
However, we can import individual components on demand:
```jsx
import Button from 'antd/lib/button';
2017-02-22 14:04:40 +08:00
import 'antd/lib/button/style'; // or antd/lib/button/style/css for css format file
```
We strongly recommend using [babel-plugin-import](https://github.com/ant-design/babel-plugin-import), which can convert the following code to the 'antd/lib/xxx' way:
```jsx
import { Button } from 'antd';
```
2017-01-14 22:49:40 +08:00
And this plugin can load styles too, read [usage](https://github.com/ant-design/babel-plugin-import#usage) for more details.
> FYI, babel-plugin-import's `style` option will importing some global reset styles, don't use it if you don't need those styles. You can import styles manually via `import 'antd/dist/antd.css'` and override the global reset styles.
## Customization
2016-11-26 16:07:01 +08:00
- [Customize Theme](/docs/react/customize-theme)
- [Local Iconfont](https://github.com/ant-design/antd-init/tree/master/examples/local-iconfont)
## Tips
- You can use any `npm` modules.
- We recommend writing code in [ES2015](http://babeljs.io/blog/2015/06/07/react-on-es6-plus) as `babel` has been integrated into our work flow.
