What's inside Amplify UI

  1. What is Amplify UI?

    main

    Amplify UI is an open-source UI library designed for simplicity and extensibility. It provides three main layers of UI building blocks:

    1. Connected Components: High-level components that abstract complex workflows like authentication and dynamic data. They are built on top of primitive components and Amplify Libraries.
    2. Primitive Components: The fundamental building blocks of a UI. They sit between 'headless' frameworks (like Radix) and 'batteries-included' frameworks (like MUI), offering a customizable base.
    3. Themes: Tools to ensure Amplify UI fits any brand identity.

    The library focuses on accessibility (WCAG/WAI-ARIA compliance), cloud connectivity, and providing 'escape hatches' so developers can customize any aspect of the components without ejecting from the library.

  2. Overview of Amplify UI React

    main

    Amplify UI React is a package providing a collection of pre-built components and utilities designed to help developers build Amplify-connected applications. The library is categorized into three main types of building blocks:

    1. Connected Components: High-level components that handle complex logic, such as Authentication components and data-bound components for displaying dynamic data.
    2. Primitive Components: Low-level UI building blocks like Button, Badge, and other standard interface elements.
    3. Theming: A system for customizing the visual appearance and brand identity of all Amplify UI components.
  3. Overview of Auth with Federated backend

    main

    The Auth with Federated backend environment is configured for use with Amplify Admin UI and supports both native and social authentication.

    Authentication Configuration:

    • Email: A required attribute for users who are not using a social provider to sign in.
    • Social Providers: Supports signing in via Amazon, Facebook, and Google.

    Note: Visual documentation (screenshots) is omitted to protect secret IDs for the web applications.

  4. Overview of @aws-amplify/ui (Core)

    main

    The @aws-amplify/ui package provides the low-level logic and styles required for Amplify UI components. It is designed to be framework-agnostic, making it suitable for stand-alone usage or as the foundation for framework-specific implementations (such as Angular or React bindings).

    Key capabilities include:

    • Framework-agnostic core functionality: Logic that works independently of a specific UI framework.
    • Reusable state management: State machines and utilities for managing component lifecycles.
    • Internationalization (I18n): Utilities to support multiple languages.
    • Theming: Tools for configuring and applying styles.
    • Utility functions: Helpers and type definitions used across the Amplify UI ecosystem.
  5. Overview of Amplify UI components and capabilities

    main

    Amplify UI is an open-source UI library providing cloud-connected, primitive, and data-bound components designed to be customizable and accessible. It is categorized into four main types:

    1. Connected components: Simplify complex cloud-connected workflows (e.g., Authenticator).
    2. Primitive components: Ensure consistency and allow building brand-aligned applications (e.g., Button, Badge).
    3. Data-bound components: Facilitate displaying dynamic data (e.g., DataStoreCollections).
    4. Theming capabilities: Enable full customization of the UI appearance to match your brand.

    Amplify UI is designed to integrate with other frameworks; for example, you can use Tailwind classes to style components or use Chakra components within Amplify connected components.
