import ReactDOM from 'react-dom/client';
import App from './App';
import './index.css';
import { NextUIProvider } from '@nextui-org/react';

ReactDOM.createRoot(document.getElementById('root') as HTMLElement).render(
  <React.StrictMode>
    <NextUIProvider>
      <App />
    </NextUIProvider>
  </React.StrictMode>
);

Import nextui button in react js.
src/App.tsx

import { useState } from 'react';
import reactLogo from './assets/react.svg';
import './App.css';
import { Button } from '@nextui-org/react';

function App() {
  const [count, setCount] = useState(0);

  return (
    <div className="App">
      <div>
        <a href="https://vitejs.dev" target="_blank">
