S1 E22 - Component Libraries

The Angular Plus Show

One of Angular's core tenants is building reusable, testable, and maintainable pieces of code known as components. While most applications have varied features and components, there are some common threads among web and mobile applications. While you can build out these common elements, or components, for your application, it's often easier and faster to rely on a component library that provides these elements or widgets. For example, imagine building a cross-browser compatible and accessible tooltip component, or perhaps a date picker. What do you think? Do you want to ship your app or do you want to build out a date picker? I'm guessing the app.
In this episode of the Angular Show we invited our friends from Progress (Alyssa Nicoll and Carl Bergenhem), VMWare (Jeremy Wilkin), GrapeCity (Joel Parks), and UI Bakery (Nikita Poltoratsky) to share their insights into component libraries and tooling that's available to Angular developers. Progress provides the popular Kendo UI component library for Angular, VMWare's Project Clarity is an open-source component library, GrapeCity provides the Wijmo component library for Angular, and UI Bakery is an open-source tool for building Angular application visually.
Join us as we explore the rich and vast ecosystem of component libraries for Angular!
