It doesn’t often happen that a framework takes over the landscape of web development in just five years, but suppose that you either make something that sticks, or you don’t. Angular — which is Google built — managed to capture the hearts of developers early on, and has since flourished and evolved into one of the best JavaScript frameworks there are. Angular 2 introduces some bold moves that might be surprising to those who aren’t familiar with the mobile web, but Angular 2 is strictly focused as a mobile-first framework, meaning that desktop apps and websites would need to be built in reverse order. Wonderful strategy if you ask us, mobile is already surpassing all expectations, and as billions more get connected, it only makes sense that we build with mobile web in mind first.

If Angular captured your heart as well, you might be interested in grabbing any of the following Angular components, built to support developers with basic and also advanced functionality that would reduce the time it takes to go from a prototype into a full production application. Here is a list the best of the best Angular Components that have been published so far.

Material Design for Angular 2

Google is the official company behind Angular, so it would be ridiculous if they didn’t provide their design standard for Angular 2! So that’s what they’ve done, ported the material design onto Angular 2 components, ready to be used in your existing and future applications. The goal is to create a repository of material design user interface components that would honor the material design specification. All components have been globalized so that they can be used in any language or by any nationality, provide a straight on point API solution that makes developer work less frustrating, have been benchmark tested in common situations to ensure compatibility, has a clean codebase and well-documented functions so developers can enjoy the quality that Angular is known for. The component is gradually being improved as Angular 2 itself is getting more pampered, optimized, and processed.

Charts for Angular2 based on Chart.js

Chart.js is an HTML5 charts library that utilizes the full potential of the HTML5 Canvas element.

It’s a top trending charting library on GitHub, and not a single article online that talks about charting libraries is going to go without mentioning Chart.js! Although limited (is it really?) to only eight chart types, each of the types is impeccably perfected to stand out from the crowd through a meaningful focus on the presented data. And Angular 2 is the perfect framework that can complement the full potential of Chart.js as both share similar design understandings, and put together you can achieve wonders.

Dragula

Right now there’s huge growth happening for drag and drop tools, libraries and frameworks, though usually they fall under the web design layout category, or prototyping. We aren’t seeing THAT much of drag and drop functionality in the traditional design of a website, unless that website is particularly built for the purpose of giving user the access to rearranging the layout of their user interface.

It’s something that people expect these days. Angular 2 File Upload is a great little component, beautifully designed and has an easy to work with interface. Supports multiple, single, and drag file uploads. Users (or you) can watch the progress of the file that’s being uploaded, and once it is done can take any necessary action like cancel or remove the file.
