7 Most Popular Angular Component Libraries

Tuesday, February 22, 2022

Angular is an open-source framework managed by Google (Google’s Angular team). It is a complete framework that includes all the necessary technologies and best practices. As with React and Vue, Angular supports the usage of modules, dividing your UI into distinct and reusable components. If you are looking for a reliable partner for your Angular projects, consider collaborating with an experienced Angular Development Company.

To get us started, here are some notable and helpful Angular component libraries to explore when building your upcoming Angular applications. 

1. What is a Component Library?

A component library is a compilation of pre-constructed web components or pre-programmed system components. Developers can easily integrate these components into their mobile or web applications, reducing the necessity to write code from scratch.

When implemented successfully, it enables developers to operate consistently and becomes extremely time-productive. Numerous UI component libraries also have customizability options, empowering programmers to innovate, customize, or create new components.

Additionally, component libraries will aid in group communication. When working on a large product with a large number of team workers, a component library will allow to manage several editions and maintain consistency all across the program.

2. Best Angular Component Libraries:

Here we have listed some of the most useful component libraries used in Angular development. 

2.1 Angular Material

Angular Material components (previously referred as Material2), is the  official Angular component library that adheres to Google’s Material Design guidelines. It is built on the Typescript and Angular frameworks. The library includes a variety of features and enables developers to include them into web apps. This solution includes tools that enable any programmer to create custom components that make use of well-known styles of interaction.

Angular Material is among the most popular libraries for Angular components. Through the command line templates, users can easily integrate new features as well as create tailor-made components using common interaction patterns. It contributes to the uniformity and fluidity of the user experience across several displays and operating systems, including MacOS, Windows, Android, Apple, and Chrome OS. It is a well-organized and well-presented library that is frequently used by programmers worldwide.

Features of Angular Material:

  • Responsive design 
  • A comprehensive suite of UI components 
  • Conventional CSS 
  • Dynamic theming capabilities 

Angular Material UI Components:

  • Autocomplete
  • Checkbox
  • Datepicker
  • Snackbar

2.2 NG-BootStrap

In 2015, there was an introduction to NG-bootstrap as a new UI, which later became one of the best Angular UI libraries. NG Bootstrap delivers Angular widgets with advanced input components developed from scratch using Bootstrap 4 CSS. These widgets are simple to use and require no further knowledge other than Angular and Bootstrap. Their component package is also easy to manage and has no third-party js dependencies. This Angular library has garnered support from a  large development community.

There is a similar UI called NGX- bootstrap. What makes them different from each other is the type of versioning and support of native angular components. 

NG Bootstrap Features:

  • Lightweight footprint 
  • A suite of directives designed specifically for Bootstrap’s components 
  • Advanced components 
  • Bootstrap UI elements

NG Bootstrap Components:

  • Dropdown
  • Modals 
  • Navigation menus 
  • Badges 
  • Carousel 
  • Forms 
  • Alerts

Installation:

You can execute the following commands in Yarn or NPM for installing NG Bootstrap;

// with npm
npm i @ng-bootstrap/ng-bootstrap 

// with yarn
yarn add @ng-bootstrap/ng-bootstrap

2.3 NGX- Bootstrap

Valor is the company that has introduced NGX bootstrap software, which is another popular Angular UI component library. It includes all of the essential Bootstrap components where Angular plays a major role. So you no longer need to add original JS components; instead, you can rely on markup and CSS in Bootstrap. It is the best and most straightforward method to quickly integrate Bootstrap 3 and 4 components with Angular.

Because all of the Bootstrap components are developed using Angular, they deliver responsive web design or responsive UI and improve performance across all platforms. It is one of the quickest approaches to incorporate Bootstrap 3 or Bootstrap 4. The major distinct factors between NG and NGX bootstrap are built-in animation support and better support like nested modals, modal as a service, and a sortable component with other types of drag-and-drop features. Also, the community of Angular developers has given 5.5K stars on GitHub.

NGX Bootstrap Features:

  • Numerous bootstrap components 
  • Carousel component
  • Tooltips 
  • Popovers 
  • Accordion component

NGX Bootstrap Components:

  • Accordion
  • Pagination 
  • Popover 
  • Buttons 
  • Tooltip

Installation:

For the installation of NGX Bootstrap, implement the code given below in NPM or Yarn.

// with npm
npm i ngx-bootstrap

// with yarn
yarn add ngx-bootstrap

Usage of NGX Bootstrap:
