Top Angular Components Libraries
Top 5 Projects Compared
Storybook is an open-source tool for building UI components and pages in isolation, making it easier to develop, test, and document UI components.
Code Example
import { Button } from './Button';
export default {
component: Button,
title: 'Components/Button',
};
export const Primary = () => <Button primary>Button</Button>;
Pros
- Storybook provides a comprehensive development environment for UI components, unlike more specialized libraries like tsparticles or angular-calendar.
- It supports multiple frontend frameworks, making it more versatile than framework-specific solutions like angular/components or ng-zorro-antd.
- Storybook offers extensive documentation and testing capabilities, surpassing many of the listed projects in this aspect.
Cons
- Storybook has a steeper learning curve compared to simpler component libraries like ngx-bootstrap or ng-select.
- It requires more setup and configuration than lightweight alternatives such as tagify or selecto.
- Storybook may be overkill for small projects or teams that don't need its full range of features, unlike more focused tools like angular-google-maps or ngx-quill.
Angular Material is a UI component library for Angular applications, providing a set of reusable, well-tested, and accessible components.
Code Example
import { MatButtonModule } from '@angular/material/button';
@NgModule({
imports: [MatButtonModule],
})
Pros
- Seamless integration with Angular, offering a cohesive development experience
- Extensive set of pre-built, customizable components following Material Design principles
- Strong focus on accessibility and performance optimization
Cons
- Steeper learning curve compared to some lightweight alternatives like ng-select or ngx-bootstrap
- Less flexibility in design customization compared to more generic libraries like Storybook or Bit
- Larger bundle size than minimal libraries like Stencil or Mitosis
Bit is a platform for component-driven software development, enabling teams to build and collaborate on components across projects and applications.
Code Example
import { createComponent } from '@teambit/react';
export const MyComponent = createComponent({
name: 'MyComponent',
render: () => <div>Hello, Bit!</div>
});
Pros
- Offers a comprehensive component management system, unlike many other projects that focus solely on UI components
- Provides a collaborative platform for sharing and reusing components across projects and teams
- Supports multiple frameworks and languages, making it more versatile than framework-specific solutions
Cons
- Has a steeper learning curve compared to simpler component libraries or UI frameworks
- Requires more setup and infrastructure compared to standalone component libraries
- May be overkill for smaller projects or teams that don't need extensive component management
BuilderIO/mitosis is a tool for writing components once and compiling them to multiple frameworks.
Code Example
import { useState } from '@builder.io/mitosis';
export default function Counter() {
const [count, setCount] = useState(0);
return <button onClick={() => setCount(count + 1)}>Count: {count}</button>;
}
Pros
- Enables writing components once and generating code for multiple frameworks, reducing development time and effort.
- Supports a wide range of popular frameworks, including React, Vue, Angular, and Svelte.
- Provides a unified API for state management and component lifecycle across different frameworks.
Cons
- May introduce an additional layer of abstraction, potentially making debugging more challenging.
- Limited ecosystem compared to framework-specific solutions like Angular Components or PrimeNG.
- Learning curve for developers who are already proficient in specific frameworks.
StencilJS is a compiler for building fast, reusable web components and progressive web apps.
Code Example
@Component({
tag: 'my-component',
styleUrl: 'my-component.css'
})
export class MyComponent {
@Prop() name: string;
render() {
return <div>Hello, {this.name}</div>;
}
}
Pros
- Framework-agnostic: StencilJS components can be used with any major framework or no framework at all.
- Performance-focused: StencilJS generates highly optimized components with a small footprint.
- TypeScript support: Built-in TypeScript support enhances developer experience and code quality.
Cons
- Learning curve: Developers may need to learn StencilJS-specific concepts and syntax.
- Limited ecosystem: Compared to some other projects, StencilJS has a smaller ecosystem of pre-built components and plugins.
- Build complexity: Setting up and configuring StencilJS projects can be more complex than some alternatives.
