# Elemental React
> Build UI components once, render to any platform using `react-primitives`. This library abstracts away common UI patterns for you.
[](https://www.npmjs.com/package/elemental-react)
[](https://www.npmjs.com/package/elemental-react)
Abstraction for app presentation to speed up cross-platform UI design and development with code using React/Sketch as a design function. This is an underlying cross-platform abstraction wrapper that allows you to build your own design language
> Based off [`styled-system`]() and [`styled-components`](). API is similar to [`rebass`](https://github.com/rebassjs/rebass), but using React Native style components.
This is an **alpha/preview** release. Please **test** comprehensively before using in **production**.
**Supported React Renderers:**
- `react` - React web
- `react-native` - React Native (WIP)
- `react-sketchapp` - React Sketch.app
- **more** - Post an issue to suggest more! Ideally an API should exist that lets you override the primitives
## Getting Started
```sh
npm install elemental-react
```
```jsx
import React from 'react';
import {
Box, Text, Button,
} from 'elemental-react';
// ...
return (
Hello World
);
```
## Example UI
Quick example of a design created by a coder (me :slightly_smiling_face:), developed with live rendering to `react-sketchapp`:
