Umi is a framework in the React community — you build a web app on top of it instead of assembling React tooling yourself. This repo is the framework's source, developed as a pnpm + Turborepo monorepo.

This repo is the framework's source, developed as a pnpm + Turborepo monorepo.Is it a framework or a component library?It's a framework, not a component kit: the repo holds the framework's own packages, managed with pnpm workspaces and Turborepo, and day-to-day usage is taught in its dedicated docs rather than on the repo page.

To work on umi's source itself, bootstrap the repo with pnpm (Node >= 14, pnpm ^8.15.9).

No other stacks like Python or Go are involved.

Feature docs live behind the 'Learn Umi' and launch-post links, so judge umi by its docs.
