The PrimeReactProvider component is used to wrap the application and the PrimeReactContext is used to access the configuration options.
// _app.js

export default function MyApp({ Component, pageProps }) {
return (
<PrimeReactProvider>
<Component {...pageProps} />
</PrimeReactProvider>
);

Usage#
Each component can be imported individually so that you only bundle what you use. Import path is available in the documentation of the corresponding component.
Check
import { Button } from 'primereact/button';

Theming#
PrimeReact has two theming modes; styled or unstyled.
Styled mode is based on pre-skinned components with opinionated themes like Material, Bootstrap or PrimeOne themes. Theme is the required css file to be imported, visit the Themes section for the complete list of available themes to choose from.
import "primereact/resources/themes/lara-light-cyan/theme.css";
Copy
Unstyled mode is disabled by default for all components. Using the PrimeReactContext during installation, set unstyled as true to enable it globally. Visit the Unstyled mode documentation for more information and examples.
import { PrimeReactProvider } from "primereact/api";
...
return(
<PrimeReactProvider value={{ unstyled: true }}>
<App />
</PrimeReactProvider>
