# Can I use Mantine with Astro?
No, Astro does not support React context

## If you need Astro, you do not need a component library

[Astro](https://astro.build/) is designed to minimize
the amount of JavaScript required to build a website. All component
libraries require quite a bit of JavaScript to work, so if you are
planning to use Astro, the best option is to build your own components
that do not have a large footprint.

## I need Mantine, what should I use instead?

In case you need Mantine and an SSG application, you can use [Next.js](https://nextjs.org/)
or [TanStack Start](https://tanstack.com/start). Both of them support all React features
that are required for Mantine to work.

## No! I need Astro and Mantine!

Not a chance, according to [Astro documentation](https://docs.astro.build/en/core-concepts/sharing-state/),
Astro does not support React context, which is required for Mantine to work.

> **From Astro documentation:**
>
> UI frameworks like React or Vue may encourage “context” providers for other components to consume.
> But when partially hydrating components within Astro or Markdown, you can’t use these context wrappers.
