- I work on several projects
- UI Bootstrap
- UI Router
- ng-bootstrap
- I enjoy learning about all things frontend, and many things in web development
- Primarily interested in easing the pains of development
- Originally created by Pawel Kozlowski
- Core developer on Angular 1 & 2
- Built with many best practices in mind
- Robust library for using common useful widgets
- Built on top of Angular 1.4+ (in master) and Bootstrap 3
- Used by many companies for years, including Fortune 500s
- Currently actively developed
- Over 1000 unit tests ensuring high quality
- Hard working & highly skilled team members from the community
- Stable library
- Avoids making breaking changes without careful consideration
- Documents all changes in an easy-to-read changelog
- Requires only Angular & Bootstrap's CSS
- Went configuration heavy
- Hard to maintain various valid use cases without making breaking changes
- Has resulted in many configuration options for pet cases
- Bloats library
- Harder to understand what is going on
- We got some of the API wrong
- JavaScript dates are hard (datepicker)
- Lack of recognition of common features (accordion, tabs)
- Project was stagnant for 6 months at one point
- Awkward mechanism for passing through content to multiple locations
- Breaks expected contract, causing user issues with angular and forms
- Too much config...
- Does not include popup settings
- 175 lines of markdown
- Most bloated component in library
- Over 900 lines sans optimizations & dateparser
- Does not support plugging moment.js
- Timezones are painful with JS
- Only preserved with new Date(date)
- Only way to set custom timezone is to create new date via Date.parse('Jan 01, 1970 00:00:00 ' + timezone)
- We need better Date API for timezones :(
- Difficult to trace date manipulation in datepicker
- The accordion looks different
- API is awkward to use
- Has weird bugs when removing tabs
- No funky transclusion of header
- Uses Web Components to properly pass through content
- Simple to read & use
- Simple to test
- Built by UI Bootstrap team, assisted by Angular team
- Built from ground up
- Takes advantage of different architecture in ng2
- Help shape best practices
- First third party library to unit test with ng2
- Does not hijack all elements
- No more `progress` element being used for all directives for progressbar
- Namespaced components from the get-go
- Easy to read...for now
- All API is obvious
- via definitions
- via conventions
- Exposes changes via observables
