Application development with Angular is always exciting and holds a lot of possibilities and scope. After all, it is maintained and constantly improved by a dedicated team of engineers at Google. This is a framework that seriously simplifies the development process allowing Angular developers to create more robust applications easily. Although there are many such factors that contribute to this efficiency, the range of frameworks that support Angular is a prime reason.

The UI of an application is incredibly important since it is the primary customer touch point that helps the user decide whether they want to continue using it or not. Creating an amazing and seamless User Interface can be a difficult task. However, the frameworks given below can make it incredibly simple for Angular based applications.

Ionic

Ionic is a front-end framework that is optimized to create native and progressive web apps with Angular. It equips web developers with an app stack that allows them to create mobile applications for all platforms using a single code base.

Ionic apps are built using components that allow you to quickly construct an interface for the app. Ionic is equipped with a number of such components including modals, alerts, cards gestures. etc.

If you plan on making HTML 5 mobile apps, then the best UI framework for you is Mobile Angular UI. Developers with the knowledge of Twitter bootstrap and Angular will find it incredibly easy to use since you won't require any more knowledge.

The Mobile Angular UI framework provides developers with a lot of mobile-based components like sidebars, scroll-able areas, segmented navigation, tabs etc. All of these make mobile app development really straightforward.

Angular Material

Angular Material is one of the most popular front-end UI frameworks that provides components that work very well across mobile, web and desktop applications. Angular Material ensures that all modern design principles are adhered to during application development.

This framework provides a number of important components that used in user applications like buttons, date-pickers, form fields, inputs etc.

LumX

LumX is one of the first responsive front-end frameworks that follow the Google Material Design guidelines during its development. LumX is dependent on Angular to carry out the application development based on its MVC architecture.

The component list of this responsive front-end framework is similar to that of Angular Material. It too includes a number of components like buttons, cards, dropdowns, notifications, cards etc.

Angular UI bootstrap

As the name suggests, the Angular UI bootstrap is built on top of the front-end framework, Bootstrap. The Bootstrap based components of this framework are written in pure Angular.
