The True Beauty of Material-UI
Build responsive layouts for 2020 using Hooks and nested grids
Functionality is not everything. Even the most brilliantly coded apps can fall short of their potential without intuitive aesthetic design.

Speed. Quality. Productivity.
If you’re looking to level up and build modern professional layouts with full customization for your application without the time constraints of starting CSS from scratch, then look no further.
Simply put, Material-UI is a powerful open-source library that implements Google’s Material Design into your React components.
Not only that, its documentation is super intuitive and it is very easy to integrate their features into your application. The library is reliable, and clearly popular with widespread use by companies such as Bethesda, JPMorgan and Shutter Stock.
In 2019, neglecting the power of combining a UI library with your front-end framework is like rationalizing bringing a blacksmith shop to a sword fight.
In the following step-by-step tutorial, we will be producing a real-world design by creating a responsive card layout with React and Material-UI.
Our application will implement updated React Hooks and async/await to fetch user data which will be rendered into images, email addresses, and names.
We will demonstrate the power of React and Material-UI’s symbiosis as we observe concepts such as synchronous vs. asynchronous coding with JavaScript.
We will then apply the design method of nested grids from Material-UI’s grid to set up and map out the layout design pattern.
This tutorial will also map and send data into a nested grid that will contain a Card Component pulled…
