The UI company Infragistics has announced that it is open sourcing over 50 of its Ignite UI components, spanning Angular, React, Blazor, and Web Components.
According to the company, many of its components were already free to use, but making them open source provides developers with the opportunity to freely modify and extend them. It will also allow development teams to start off using the open source components and then move to the premium ones as needed.
“We’ve been in the developer tools market for more than 35 years, and our UI components have powered applications across every industry. Open source allows us to give more back our growing community. With this transition, we aim to equip everyone ready to innovate, build beautiful user experiences, and provide custom solutions. Solutions that integrate seamlessly into enterprise environments, reduce development overhead, and ensure long-term stability,” the company wrote in a blog post.
Some of the components that are now open source include Grid Lite, Accordion, Avatar, Badge, Banner, Button, Button Group, Calendar, Card, Carousel, Chat, Checkbox, Chip, Circular Progress, Combo, Date Picker, Drop Down, Dialog, Input, List, Tile Manager, Snackbar, and Stepper.
Some of the more advanced UI components will remain premium, including Data Grid, Hierarchical Grid, Tree Grid, Pivot Grid, Charting Library, Gauges, Maps, Dock Manager, Excel Library, Spreadsheet, and Query Builder.
“This dual approach ensures that every developer gets a powerful foundation for free, while teams building high-performance, enterprise-grade solutions retain access to advanced, professionally supported components,” Infragistics explained.
