Material UI

As explained in Build Financial Software with Generative AI (From Scratch)

MUI is a React component library implementing Material Design-based user-interface components and layout utilities.

Material UI (MUI) is a React component library for building interfaces with Material Design-based components and layout utilities. A dashboard template provides a practical starting point for a financial application that lets users load files and review related data. section 6.1

A practical setup combines MUI with:

  • MUI 5.x and its TypeScript template. section 6.1
  • Next.js for the application project and Recharts for visualizations. section 6.1

Dashboard starting point

Create a Next.js project, install the MUI dependencies, and customize the MUI dashboard template into a file-loading and data-review interface. section 6.1
