Top 19 AngularJS Frameworks for Web App Development in 2024

NgRx is a popular state management library for Angular, inspired by Redux. It helps predictably manage the application state using reactive patterns and streams. Key features of NgRx include store, reducers, actions, selectors etc. If you have complex state requirements in your Angular app, NgRx is worth considering.

Angular Material is an official UI component library providing a set of reusable UI components based on Google's Material Design spec. It offers components like layout grids, buttons, menus, lists, tabs, cards and more out-of-the-box elements to accelerate Angular development. The theming support allows for customising the look and feel of components.

AngularFire provides official Angular bindings for Firebase. If you are building your Angular app with Firebase as the backend, AngularFire makes it easy to integrate authentication, real-time database, cloud storage, cloud functions etc, with the Angular reactivity system.

Ngxs is another popular state management pattern + library for Angular, offering an easy yet powerful way to manage application state. It uses RxJS-powered actions and selectors to mutate and select state changes like Redux. NGXS also allows plugins for middleware, logging, storage etc.

NativeScript empowers building truly native mobile apps using Angular, TypeScript or JavaScript. By wrapping native UI elements from Android and iOS, it delivers excellent UX without needing expertise in Java or Swift/Objective-C. Capabilities like live sync, vanilla JS access, and CSS/SASS support make it handy for mobile development.

NestJS is a robust NodeJS backend framework allowing enterprise-level application architectures using TypeScript & OOP paradigms. Key features include dependency injection, CLI tooling, Express/Fastify server hooks, GraphQL integration, microservices etc. Perfect for building scalable server-side apps handling Angular frontend.

Jasmine is one of the most popular behaviour-driven development (BDD) frameworks for testing JavaScript code. It provides functions to write tests and expectations in natural language for better readability. Seamless integration with Angular CLI makes it easy to unit test Angular components with spies, mocks etc. using Jasmine.

Though not a framework per se, RxJS is a critical library to discuss here. It powers most async capabilities & reactive patterns across Angular. RxJS allows managing event streams/sequences of asynchronous events using Observables and operators like map, filter, reduce etc.

Angular UI hosts a range of UI-focused components lacking in the core Angular framework like grids, scrollbars, routers, maps, charts and other complex widgets. These advanced components can help accelerate the crafting of beautiful, consistent UIs using Angular.

Ionic framework enables building high-quality hybrid mobile apps using Angular & web technologies like HTML, CSS, and TypeScript. With rich components, simple APIs, and detailed guides - Ionic simplifies mobile app UI design including complex capabilities like push notifications across Android, iOS etc.

NgZorro offers a rich set of UI components, directives and utilities based on the Ant Design system used commonly in products of Alibaba group. Over 100 high-quality NgZorro components featuring forms, graphs, animations, scrollbars etc. help accelerate Angular development.

Kendo UI offers a complete library of UI widgets like grids, charts, buttons, menus, sliders etc. including both free and paid commercial options. It allows building high-performance responsive sites and apps faster with Kendo UI’s quality widgets integrated seamlessly into Angular apps.

As the name suggests, Angular Bootstrap integrates the world's most popular Bootstrap library natively in Angular. This allows leveraging a ton of Bootstrap components like accordions, modals, dropdowns, date pickers etc. in your Angular apps seamlessly supporting responsive design needs.

Nebular comprises a customisable UI Kit and Auth tools with intuitive Angular components enabled using Eva Design System specifications and guidelines. The themed, flexible components help focus more on business needs rather than routine UI tasks during development.

PrimeNG is a collection of rich UI components for Angular with 70+ flexible widgets featuring grids, charts, editors, file uploaders, trees and more. Styling with pre-built free/premium application templates helps prototype apps quickly using this library.

We discussed AngularFire earlier too. Worth reiterating here as it tremendously reduces the integration complexity involved in using Firebase in your Angular apps by providing official bindings. Highly useful for building apps needing authentication, and real-time data syncing capabilities.

Built from the ground up for enterprise Angular applications, the Covalent UI library offers 30+ customisable components designed from popular AngularJS Material framework guidelines. Just like Angular Material, Covalent speeds up development using components like dashboards, editors, data tables etc.

Angular Console offers an instant, integrated environment for building complete Angular applications. With templates for REST APIs, authentication, database connections and more – it allows going from prototype to production seamlessly. Reduces overhead of many eco-system libraries.

Finally, while not directly intended for Angular dev - NativeScript’s Vue framework flavour allows reusing existing web dev skills & even reusing chunks of code between web apps written in VueJS and mobile apps built using NativeScript-Vue i.e. without Java/Swift skills.
