Top 5 Projects Compared

storybook
84,938

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

Provides a comprehensive development environment for UI components, unlike more specialized libraries like tsparticles or ngx-bootstrap.
Supports multiple frontend frameworks, making it more versatile than Angular-specific libraries like angular/components or ng-zorro-antd.
Offers extensive documentation and a large community, surpassing smaller projects like BuilderIO/mitosis or component-party.dev.

Cons

Has a steeper learning curve compared to simpler component libraries like PrimeNG or OnsenUI.
Requires more setup and configuration than lightweight alternatives like ngReact or angular-ui-tree.
May be overkill for small projects or teams that don't need extensive component isolation and testing capabilities.

components
24,427

Angular Material is the official component library for Angular, providing a suite of high-quality UI components.

Code Example

import { MatButtonModule } from '@angular/material/button';

@NgModule({
  imports: [MatButtonModule],
})

Pros

Seamless integration with Angular, ensuring optimal performance and compatibility
Comprehensive set of components covering most common UI needs
Backed by Google, ensuring long-term support and regular updates

Cons

Steeper learning curve compared to some other UI libraries
Opinionated design system may require more customization for unique visual styles
Larger bundle size compared to lightweight alternatives like Stencil or Mitosis

mitosis
12,635

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

Framework-agnostic: Allows developers to write components once and use them across multiple frameworks.
Simplified development: Reduces the need to maintain separate codebases for different frameworks.
Compiler-based approach: Generates optimized code for each target framework.

Cons

Learning curve: Requires developers to learn Mitosis-specific syntax and concepts.
Limited ecosystem: Has fewer resources and community support compared to established framework-specific libraries.
Potential limitations: May not support all advanced features of individual frameworks.

stencil
12,623

Stencil is a compiler for building fast, reusable UI components and Progressive Web Apps.

Code Example

@Component({
  tag: 'my-component',
  styleUrl: 'my-component.css',
  shadow: true
})
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 Angular-specific libraries.
Less suitable for full applications: Primarily focused on component creation rather than full application development.

primeng
10,774

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';

@NgModule({
  imports: [ButtonModule]
})

Pros

Extensive component library: PrimeNG offers a vast collection of UI components, covering most common use cases in web development.
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 configuration options can be overwhelming for beginners.
Bundle size: Including the entire library can lead to larger bundle sizes, potentially impacting initial load times.
Angular-specific: Unlike some other projects like Storybook or Stencil, PrimeNG is specifically designed for Angular, limiting its use in other frameworks.
