AWS Amplify UI: Build UI Fast with Amplify on React

AWS Amplify UI is a set of React components that make it easy to build beautiful and responsive user interfaces. The components are built on top of the Amplify framework, which provides a unified way to connect your app to backend services.

Amplify UI is designed to be easy to use, even for beginners. The components are well-documented and there are plenty of examples to help you get started.

In this blog post, we'll show you how to use Amplify UI to build a simple todo app.

Getting Started

The first step is to install Amplify UI. You can do this with the following command:

npm install @aws-amplify/ui

Once Amplify UI is installed, you can start using the components in your app.

Creating a Todo List

To create a todo list, we'll use the following components:

• AmplifyCard: This component is used to create a card that displays a todo item.
• AmplifyInput: This component is used to create a text input field.
• AmplifyButton: This component is used to create a button.

Here's the code for our todo list:

import React from 'react';
import { AmplifyCard, AmplifyInput, AmplifyButton } from '@aws-amplify/ui';

const TodoList = () => {
    const [todos, setTodos] = useState([]);

    const addTodo = () => {
        const newTodo = {
            text: e.target.value
        };

        setTodos([...todos, newTodo]);
    };

    return (
        <div>
            <AmplifyCard>
                <h2>Todo List</h2>
                <ul>
                    {todos.map((todo, index) => (
                        <li key={index}>
                            {todo.text}
                            <AmplifyButton onClick={() => setTodos(todos.filter((t) => t.id !== todo.id))}>
                                Delete
                            </AmplifyButton>
                        </li>
                    ))}
                </ul>
            </AmplifyCard>

            <AmplifyInput placeholder="Enter a new todo" onChange={(e) => addTodo()} />
        </div>
    );
};

export default TodoList;

This code will create a todo list with a text input field and a button. When you enter a todo item in the text input field and click the button, the item will be added to the list.
