Here are the frequently asked questions about Ant Design and antd that you should look up before you ask in community or create new issue. We also maintain a FAQ issues label for common github issues.


Are you going to provide Vue(etc...) edition?

No, but the LICENSE of ant-design is MIT. So, you can try to implement it with ant-design's style, like: ant-design-vue vue-beauty or antue.

Are you going to provide Sass/Stylus(etc...) style file?

No, actually, you can convert Less to Sass/Stylus(etc...) with tools (which you can Google).

How to modify the default theme of Ant Design?

See: https://ant.design/docs/react/customize-theme .

Would you supply other themes?

No, we follow Ant Design specification. https://github.com/ant-design/ant-design/issues/1241

How to modify Menu/Button(etc...)'s style?

You can override its style, but we don't recommend doing so. antd is not only a set of React components but also a design specification.

I just want to use Menu/Button(etc...), but it seems that I have to import the whole antd and its style.

Try babel-plugin-import, or import what you need in this way:

import Menu from 'antd/lib/menu';
import 'antd/lib/menu/style/css';

or (ES6 way with tree shaking):

import { Menu, Breadcrumb, Icon } from 'antd';

How to optimize momentjs bundle size with webpack?

See: https://github.com/jmblog/how-to-optimize-momentjs-with-webpack

It doesn't work when I change defaultValue dynamically.

The defaultXxxx (like defaultValue) of Input/Select(etc...) only works in first render. It is a specification of React; please read React's documentation.

I set the value of Input/Select(etc...), and then, it cannot be changed by user's action.

Try defaultValue or onChange to change value, and please read React's documentation.

antd override my global styles!

Yes, antd is designed to develop a complete background application, we override some global styles for styling convenience, and it can't be removed now. More info trace https://github.com/ant-design/ant-design/issues/4331 .

Or, follow the instructions in How to avoid modifying global styles?

I cannot install antd and antd's dependencies(etc...). FYI, I live in China mainland.

Long live the Girl Friend Wall! And try cnpm.

I set dependencies.antd as git repository in package.json, but it doesn't work.

Yes, please install antd with npm.

message and notification is lower case, but other components are capitalized. Typo?

No, as message is just a function, not a React Component.

antd doesn't work well in mobile.

Please check And Design Mobile for details. antd has not been optimized to do so. You may try react-component, those repositories which start with 'm-' 'rn-' are designed for mobile.

Does antd supply standalone files like 'react' do?

Yep, you can import antd with script tag. But we recommend using npm to import antd, it is simple and easy to maintain.

I can't visit icon in my network environment.

You should deploy the iconfont files to your network by following this example. #1070

After 3.9.x we are using svg icon, so you don't need to deploy iconfont locally anymore!
