Infragistics, a software company, has made its Ignite UI library open source for Angular, Blazor, React, and Web Components. The library includes over 50 free UI components used by top companies like Intuit and Exxon. This move aims to empower developers to build applications faster and with a consistent look.
Ignite UI components like Data Grid and Combo Box are now available without a commercial license, enabling developers to build full-stack web applications with ease. The transition to open source allows for customization and contribution, streamlining the development process and enhancing collaboration within the developer community.
With the open-source release of Ignite UI, developers gain access to more than 50 UI components under an MIT license, along with popular tools like ApexCharts and App Builder. These tools allow for the creation of powerful, interactive web applications with real-time analytics and data-driven insights, all without leaving the application interface.
Google’s Technical Lead for Web and Multiplatform Frameworks, Minko Gechev, praised Infragistics for making Ignite UI open source, stating it enriches the Angular ecosystem and empowers developers to build robust applications with greater speed and flexibility. This move is expected to lower the barrier to entry for developers.
Infragistics’ decision to make Ignite UI open source reflects its commitment to the developer community, providing free-to-use controls for rapid adoption and evaluation. The company aims to make application development more visual, accessible, and productive by leveraging new engineering investments and open-source contributions.
According to Jason Beres, COO at Infragistics, the open-sourcing of Ignite UI enables developers to build faster, better, and more scalable web applications using enterprise-grade components. This aligns with the company’s mission to empower developers worldwide to create high-performing digital experiences efficiently.
