# Introducing Syncfusion’s Pure React Components: Built from the Ground Up for React

[Piramanayagam Ramakrishnan](https://www.syncfusion.com/blogs/author/piramanayagamr)

![Introducing Syncfusion®’s Pure React Components Built from the Ground Up for React](https://www.syncfusion.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Introducing-Syncfusion%C2%AEs-Pure-React-Components-Built-from-the-Ground-Up-for-React.jpg)


**TL;DR:** Syncfusion has launched Pure React Components, crafted natively for React using hooks and functional components. These components boost app performance, offer smoother UI interactions, and ensure seamless integration with the React ecosystem. Try them now for a faster, modern React experience.

## Introduction

React has revolutionized the way developers build user interfaces, offering a component-based architecture that emphasizes reusability, performance, and developer experience. With over 200,000 websites using React in production and millions of developers worldwide, it has become the most popular JavaScript library for building modern web applications.

Today, we’re excited to introduce [Syncfusion®‘s Pure React Components](https://react.syncfusion.com/react-ui/overview/introduction/)
: a complete set of UI components built from ground up specifically for React. Unlike wrapper components that adapt existing JavaScript libraries, our Pure React components are designed to leverage React’s core principles and ecosystem, providing a truly native React experience.

Let’s dive into the key features of these components:

## What are Pure React components

[Pure React components](https://react.syncfusion.com/react-ui/overview/introduction/)
 are built from scratch using React’s functional components and hooks, free from wrappers or non-React libraries. This approach delivers clean, idiomatic React code that integrates seamlessly with modern React applications.

## Why choose the Pure React components?

Pure React components, crafted without reliance on non-React libraries like **jQuery, JavaScript-based DOM manipulation,** offer distinct advantages:

- Provides better integration with the React ecosystem.
- Enhances performance predictability by minimizing overhead.
- Ensure cleaner, more maintainable code through modular hooks and functional patterns.
- Avoids lifecycle mismatch that arises from wrapping non-React libraries.
- Improve the developer experience.

## Advantages of the Pure React components

The Pure React components offer the following benefits:

### Fully reactive

Our React components are fully reactive, responding quickly and consistently to changes in state or props. They update only the necessary parts of the UI, ensuring efficient rendering.

Each component’s behavior, appearance, and DOM output remain synchronized with React’s state and prop changes, eliminating the need for manual refresh calls or forced updates.

### Optimized state updates

State updates are now more efficient. Components avoid full re-renders by updating only the affected parts, resulting in faster response times and smoother user experiences.

### Preserved active states

Components now maintain active states, such as focused inputs or active selections, during state change in parent or sibling components. This ensures seamless user interaction without disruptions.

### Streamlined template rendering

We’ve replaced our previous portal-based template rendering approach with a Pure React implementation. Template elements are now rendered the React way, making it easier for developers to pass JSX elements directly and components and ensuring the rendering logic stays fully in sync with React’s lifecycle.

### Improved performance

From component rendering to user interactions, everything feels snappier. By eliminating unnecessary re-renders and refining our component architecture, we’ve dramatically improved performance so that every interaction is smooth and responsive.

### Enhanced themes

Our component themes seamlessly adapt to major design ecosystems including [Material Design 3](https://react.syncfusion.com/react-ui/themes/material/?theme=material)
, [Tailwind CSS](https://react.syncfusion.com/react-ui/themes/tailwind/?theme=material)
, and [Bootstrap](https://react.syncfusion.com/react-ui/themes/bootstrap/?theme=material)
 standards, delivering modern, consistent, and intuitive user experience. We have integrated scalable, customizable utility-first presets and structural styles for sharp visuals at any resolution and improved accessibility. These optimized, compiled themes help your apps load faster while maintaining a polished, elegant appearance with minimal overhead.

## Step-by-step tutorial: Getting started with React components

### Step 1: Create a new Vite project with TypeScript

To begin, [create a new Vite project](https://react.syncfusion.com/react-ui/getting-started/vite/?theme=material#create-a-vite-project)
 configured for React and TypeScript:

.NET CLI

```
npm create vite@latest
```

### Step 2: Install the Syncfusion React Grid component and material theme packages

Once your Vite project is ready, install the Syncfusion React Grid package:

.NET CLI

```
npm install @syncfusion/react-grid
```

For installing material theme, use the command below.

.NET CLI

```
npm install @syncfusion/react-material-theme
```

### Step 3: Import required CSS references

To apply the correct style for the Grid component, import the necessary CSS files in the **src/App.css** file.

App.css

```
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/react-material-theme/styles/base/material.css";
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/react-material-theme/styles/inputs/material.css";
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/react-material-theme/styles/buttons/material.css";
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/react-material-theme/styles/dropdowns/material.css";
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/react-material-theme/styles/calendars/material.css";
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/react-material-theme/styles/navigations/material.css";
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/react-material-theme/styles/popups/material.css";
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/react-material-theme/styles/pager/material.css";
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/react-material-theme/styles/grid/material.css";
```

### Step 4: Render React Grid component

Create a data source file say `employee-data.ts` to include the required data to load in the Grid component.

data.js

```
export const employeeInformation = [
    {
        EmployeeID: 'EMP-101',
        Name: 'John Smith',
        Designation: 'Software Engineer',
        DateOfJoining: new Date(2020, 5, 12),
        Location: 'WFH',
        isLocked: false,
        EmployeeStatus: 'Available',
        Email: '[email protected]',
        PhoneNumber: '555-123-4567',
        Department: 'Web Development',
        EmploymentType: 'Full-Time',
        ReportingPerson: 'David Thompson',
        ReportingManager: 'James Wilson'
    }, 
    {
        EmployeeID: 'EMP-102',
        Name: 'James Miller',
        Designation: 'UI/UX Designer',
        DateOfJoining: new Date(2019, 3, 8),
        Location: 'Alpha Office',
        isLocked: false,
        EmployeeStatus: 'Available',
        Email: '[email protected]',
        PhoneNumber: '555-123-4567',
        Department: 'Design',
        EmploymentType: 'Full-Time',
        ReportingPerson: 'Emily Johnson',
        ReportingManager: 'James Wilson'
    },
    {
        EmployeeID: 'EMP-103',
        Name: 'Michael Brown',
        Designation: 'QA Engineer',
        DateOfJoining: new Date(2021, 1, 15),
        Location: 'Beta Office',
        isLocked: true,
        EmployeeStatus: 'Available',
        Email: '[email protected]',
        PhoneNumber: '555-123-4567',
        Department: 'Testing',
        EmploymentType: 'Full-Time',
        ReportingPerson: 'Ella Martin',
        ReportingManager: 'James Wilson'
    },
    {
        EmployeeID: 'EMP-104',
        Name: 'Sarah Davis',
        Designation: 'HR Specialist',
        DateOfJoining: new Date(2018, 10, 20),
        Location: 'WFH',
        isLocked: false,
        EmployeeStatus: 'Available',
        Email: '[email protected]',
        PhoneNumber: '555-123-4567',
        Department: 'HR',
        EmploymentType: 'Full-Time',
        ReportingPerson: 'William Clark',
        ReportingManager: 'James Wilson'
    },
    {
        EmployeeID: 'EMP-105',
        Name: 'James Wilson',
        Designation: 'Software Engineer',
        DateOfJoining: new Date(2017, 7, 5),
        Location: 'Alpha Office',
        isLocked: false,
        EmployeeStatus: 'Available',
        Email: '[email protected]',
        PhoneNumber: '555-123-4567',
        Department: 'UI and UX',
        EmploymentType: 'Full-Time',
        ReportingPerson: 'David Thompson',
        ReportingManager: 'David Thompson'
    }
];
```

Next, import and use the Grid component in your application.

App.tsx

```
import { Grid, Columns, Column } from '@syncfusion/react-grid';
import { employeeInformation } from './employee-data.ts';
import './App.css';
export default function App() {
    return (
        <Grid dataSource={employeeInformation}>
            <Columns>
                <Column field="EmployeeID" headerText="Employee ID" />
                <Column field="Name" headerText="Name" />
                <Column field='Designation' headerText='Designation' />
                <Column field="Department" headerText="Department" />
                <Column field="ReportingPerson" headerText="Reports To" />
                <Column field="Location" headerText="Location" />
            </Columns>
        </Grid>
    );
};
```

### Step 5: Run the application

To view your sample app, run the below command:

.NET CLI

```
npm run dev
```

The output is displayed below.
