Ant Design

This is Ant Design's internal standard for evaluating design quality. Based on the assumption that "everyone is pursuing happiness at work", we have added the two values of "Meaningfulness" and "Growth" on the basis of "Certainty" and "Naturalness" to guide each designer towards better judgment and decision-making. Ant Design React is dedicated to providing a good development experience for programmers. Before starting, it is recommended to learn React and ES2015 first, and correctly install and configure Node.js v8 or above. The official guide also assumes that you have intermediate knowledge about HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and React. If you are just starting to learn front-end or React, it may not be the best idea to use the UI framework as your first step.
