Top 5 Projects Compared

storybook
86,218

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 better documentation and testing capabilities for components than many of the listed 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 some of the more lightweight solutions in the list.
Storybook focuses on component development and doesn't provide ready-made UI components like some of the other projects (e.g., Nebular, Clarity).

ionic-framework
51,555

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

Code Example

import { IonicModule } from '@ionic/angular';

@NgModule({
  imports: [IonicModule.forRoot()]
})
export class AppModule {}

Pros

Offers a comprehensive set of pre-built UI components and native-like functionality specifically designed for mobile app development.
Provides excellent cross-platform compatibility, allowing developers to build apps for iOS, Android, and web from a single codebase.
Integrates well with Angular, making it a popular choice for Angular developers looking to build mobile applications.

Cons

Has a steeper learning curve compared to some other UI frameworks due to its mobile-first approach and specific conventions.
May have performance limitations for complex, data-intensive applications compared to native development.
While versatile, it may not be the best choice for projects that don't require a mobile-first approach or cross-platform compatibility.

bootstrap
14,251

Angular UI Bootstrap is a set of native AngularJS directives based on Bootstrap's markup and CSS for creating responsive web applications.

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 UI components based on Bootstrap, 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 Angular versions (2+) unlike some other projects.
Less flexible compared to more modern UI libraries like Storybook or PrimeNG.
May require more manual configuration compared to full-featured frameworks like Ionic or ABP.

ui-router
13,514

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 compared to simpler routing solutions like those in angular-ui/bootstrap or OnsenUI/OnsenUI.
Has a large and active community, ensuring ongoing support and updates.

Cons

May have a steeper learning curve compared to simpler routing solutions like those in ionic-team/ionic-framework or angular/flex-layout.
Focuses solely on routing, unlike more comprehensive UI frameworks like PrimeNG or NG-ZORRO, which offer a wide range of UI components.
Can be overkill for smaller projects that don't require complex routing, where simpler alternatives might suffice.

abp
13,324

ABP Framework is a comprehensive application framework for ASP.NET Core, providing a modular and layered 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, modular architecture for building enterprise-level applications, unlike many of the other UI-focused libraries.
Provides built-in features like multi-tenancy, identity management, and localization, which are not present in most other listed projects.
Integrates well with the .NET ecosystem, making it a strong choice for .NET developers compared to JavaScript-based alternatives.

Cons

Has a steeper learning curve compared to simpler UI libraries like PrimeNG or NG-ZORRO.
Less flexible for front-end development compared to UI-specific frameworks like Ionic or Onsen UI.
May be overkill for smaller projects or those not requiring its full feature set, unlike more lightweight options in the list.
