React Chakra UI Gradient

Last Updated : 24 Apr, 2025

React Chakra UI Gradients allow you to add stylish and visually appealing backgrounds. Gradients are a blend of two or more colors that transition smoothly from one to another. In this article, we will learn about the implementation of the Gradients in Chakra UI.

Prerequisites:

Approach:

We have used the ChakraProvider wrapper component that ensures the availability of Chakra UI styles and theming throughout the application. We have created a text gradient and different styles of box gradient by using the bgGradient and bgClip properties. bgGradient property is used to create a background gradient effect and bgClip property is used to create a text gradient.

You can use different types of CSS gradient such as Linear, Radial, Conic etc.. inside bgGradient property. It also support different directions such as to-t(to top), to-tr(to top right), to-r(to right), to-br(to bottom right), to-b(to bottom) etc...

Steps to Create React Application And Installing Module:

Step 1: Create a React application using the following command:

npx create-react-app gfg

Step 2: After creating your project folder(i.e. gfg), move to it by using the following command:

cd gfg

Step 3: After creating the React application, Install the required package using the following command:

npm i @chakra-ui/react @emotion/react @emotion/styled framer-motion

Project Structure:

Example: The below example is demonstrating the use of Gradient in Chakra UI.

JavaScript

//File path: src/App.js
import {
  ChakraProvider,
  Box, Heading
}
from '@chakra-ui/react';

function App() {

  return (
    <>
      <ChakraProvider>
        <Box textAlign="center">
          <Heading
            bgClip="text"
            bgGradient="linear(to-r, #ff005a, #0a60eb)">

          </Heading>
        </Box>

        <Box display='flex' justifyContent='center'
          mx='50px' my='20px' gap='15px'>

          <Box height='200px' width='200px'
            bgGradient='linear(red 15%, green 35%, blue 50%)'>
          </Box>

          <Box height='200px' width='200px'
            bgGradient='linear(to-t, red, green, blue)'>
          </Box>

          <Box height='200px' width='200px'
            bgGradient='linear(to-tr, red, green, blue)'>
          </Box>

          <Box height='200px' width='200px'
            bgGradient='linear(to-b, red, green, blue)'>
          </Box>

          <Box height='200px' width='200px'
            bgGradient='linear(to-br, red, green, blue)'>
          </Box>

          <Box height='200px' width='200px'
            bgGradient='linear(to-l, red, green, blue)'>
          </Box>
        </Box>
      </ChakraProvider>
    </>
  );
}

export default App;
