Top 5 Projects Compared

storybook
83,959

Storybook is an open-source tool for developing UI components in isolation, supporting various frontend frameworks.

Code Example

import { Button } from './Button';

export default {
  component: Button,
  title: 'Components/Button',
};

export const Primary = () => <Button primary>Click me</Button>;

Pros

Supports multiple frontend frameworks, unlike Angular-specific libraries like angular/components or ng-zorro-antd
Provides a powerful development environment for UI components, which is not the focus of build tools like Stencil or Mitosis
Offers extensive documentation and a large community, surpassing many smaller projects in the list

Cons

Has a steeper learning curve compared to simpler UI libraries like PrimeNG or Onsen UI
Requires additional setup and configuration, unlike drop-in solutions such as ngx-bootstrap or ng-select
Focuses on component development and testing, lacking the full application structure provided by projects like angular-example-app

components
24,318

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],
})
export class AppModule { }

Pros

Seamless integration with Angular, providing a consistent development experience
Extensive set of high-quality, accessible components following Material Design guidelines
Strong community support and regular updates from the Angular team

Cons

Steeper learning curve compared to some other UI libraries
Opinionated design style may not fit all project aesthetics
Larger bundle size compared to lightweight alternatives like Stencil or Mitosis

stencil
12,500

Stencil is a compiler for building fast, reusable UI 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: Stencil components can be used with any major framework or no framework at all.
Performance-focused: Stencil generates highly optimized components with a small footprint.
Web standards-based: Utilizes Web Components, making it future-proof and widely compatible.

Cons

Learning curve: Requires understanding of Web Components and TypeScript.
Limited ecosystem: Smaller community and fewer ready-made components compared to some other projects.
Less suitable for full applications: Primarily focused on component creation rather than full application development.

mitosis
12,262

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 compiling to multiple frameworks, reducing code duplication
Supports a wide range of popular frameworks, including React, Vue, Angular, and Svelte
Provides a unified API for creating components, simplifying the development process

Cons

May have a steeper learning curve compared to framework-specific solutions like angular/components or ionic-team/stencil
Less mature and potentially less stable than well-established projects like storybookjs/storybook or primefaces/primeng
May not offer as comprehensive a set of pre-built components as some other libraries in the list

primeng
10,176

PrimeNG is a comprehensive UI component library for Angular applications, offering a wide range of customizable and feature-rich components.

Code Example

import { ButtonModule } from 'primeng/button';
import { TableModule } from 'primeng/table';

@NgModule({
  imports: [ButtonModule, TableModule]
})

Pros

Extensive component library: PrimeNG offers a vast collection of UI components, more than most other Angular-specific libraries.
Consistent theming: Provides a robust theming system with pre-built themes and easy customization options.
Active development: Regularly updated with new features and improvements, ensuring compatibility with the latest Angular versions.

Cons

Learning curve: The extensive API and numerous configuration options can be overwhelming for beginners.
Bundle size: Including many components can lead to larger bundle sizes compared to more focused libraries.
Angular-specific: Unlike some other projects (e.g., Storybook or Stencil), PrimeNG is not framework-agnostic and is limited to Angular applications.
