Top 5 Projects Compared

storybook
83,960

Storybook is an open-source tool for developing UI components in isolation for React, Vue, Angular, and more.

Code Example

import { Button } from './Button';

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

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

Pros

Storybook offers a more comprehensive development environment for UI components compared to most other projects listed.
It supports multiple frontend frameworks, making it more versatile than framework-specific solutions like Angular UI or Ionic.
Storybook provides powerful addons and integrations, enhancing the development experience beyond basic UI libraries.

Cons

Storybook has a steeper learning curve compared to simpler UI libraries like PrimeNG or NG-ZORRO.
It requires more setup and configuration than ready-to-use UI kits like Nebular or Clarity.
Storybook focuses on component development and doesn't provide pre-built components like many of the listed UI libraries do.

ionic-framework
50,912

Ionic Framework is an open-source UI toolkit for building high-quality mobile and desktop apps using web technologies (HTML, CSS, and JavaScript).

Code Example

<ion-content>
  <ion-button>Click me</ion-button>
  <ion-list>
    <ion-item>Item 1</ion-item>
    <ion-item>Item 2</ion-item>
  </ion-list>
</ion-content>

Pros

Offers a comprehensive set of pre-built UI components and native-like functionality for cross-platform app development.
Provides excellent integration with Angular and supports other frameworks like React and Vue.
Has a large and active community, ensuring regular updates and extensive documentation.

Cons

May have a steeper learning curve compared to some other UI libraries due to its extensive feature set.
Performance can be slightly slower than native apps, especially for complex applications.
Some advanced native functionalities may require additional plugins or custom development.

bootstrap
14,291

Angular UI Bootstrap is a set of native AngularJS directives based on Bootstrap's markup and CSS.

Code Example

<uib-accordion>
  <div uib-accordion-group heading="Section 1">Content 1</div>
  <div uib-accordion-group heading="Section 2">Content 2</div>
</uib-accordion>

Pros

Specifically designed for AngularJS, providing seamless integration with Angular applications.
Offers a comprehensive set of Bootstrap components as Angular directives, reducing the need for additional libraries.
Well-established and mature project with a large community and extensive documentation.

Cons

Limited to AngularJS, not compatible with newer versions of Angular (2+).
Less flexible compared to more modern UI libraries like Storybook or PrimeNG.
May require additional effort to customize styles beyond Bootstrap's default appearance.

ui-router
13,538

UI-Router is a routing framework for AngularJS and Angular, providing powerful state-based routing capabilities.

Code Example

$stateProvider.state('home', {
  url: '/home',
  templateUrl: 'home.html',
  controller: 'HomeController'
});

Pros

Offers more advanced routing features compared to Angular's built-in router, such as nested states and multiple named views.
Provides a more flexible and powerful way to manage application states than most other UI frameworks in the list.
Has a large and active community, ensuring ongoing support and updates.

Cons

Steeper learning curve compared to simpler routing solutions like Angular's default router.
May be overkill for small projects that don't require complex routing capabilities.
Less integrated with full UI component libraries like PrimeNG or NG-ZORRO, requiring additional setup for a complete UI solution.

abp
12,758

ABP Framework is a comprehensive application framework for ASP.NET Core, providing a modular and multi-tenancy architecture for building modern web applications.

Code Example

public class BookAppService : ApplicationService, IBookAppService
{
    public async Task<BookDto> CreateAsync(CreateBookDto input)
    {
        var book = await _bookManager.CreateAsync(input.Name, input.Price);
        return ObjectMapper.Map<Book, BookDto>(book);
    }
}

Pros

Offers a complete, end-to-end solution for building enterprise applications, unlike more focused libraries like UI-Router or PrimeNG.
Provides built-in multi-tenancy support, which is not a common feature in most other frameworks listed.
Includes a powerful module system for better code organization and reusability compared to many other frameworks.

Cons

Has a steeper learning curve compared to simpler UI libraries like Angular UI Bootstrap or Ionic Framework.
Less flexible for small-scale projects or specific UI components compared to libraries like Storybook or NG-ZORRO.
May have more overhead and complexity for projects that don't require all of its features, unlike lightweight alternatives like Searchkit or jQuery WeUI.
