Infragistics, the software company responsible for the UI and UX solutions, announced that Ignite UI—its library of enterprise-ready data charts, grids, and user interface (UI) components—is now open source across Angular, Blazor, React and Web Components.
Now, developers will have access to more than 50 free, open source Ignite UI controls built on decades of experience creating solutions for some of the world’s largest companies, the company said.
This is the first time that Infragistics has made its enterprise-grade Ignite UI components open to the wider developer community. Ignite UI controls including Data Grid, Combo Box, Tile Manager, Tree, and Stepper are now available to developers without a commercial license to build full-stack web applications.
By making its component library open source across the most widely used web frameworks, Infragistics empowers developers to build applications quicker, maintain a consistent look across platforms and customize, extend, and contribute to publicly visible code.
Ignite UI, available across Angular, Blazor, React, and Web Components, integrates with Infragistics’ core product line and unlocks the full power of ApexCharts, App Builder, and Reveal to streamline the creation of interactive web applications, the company said.
With Infragistics’ transition to open source, developers additionally gain access to platforms and capabilities, including:
- Ignite UI: More than 50 open-source UI components are available under an MIT license, plus a free MIT-licensed data grid.
- ApexCharts: One of the web’s most popular charting libraries, with over 1.5 million weekly NPM installs. With ApexCharts, developers can seamlessly add powerful, interactive charts to their apps, combining high-performance data visualization with modern .NET–JavaScript interoperability.
- App Builder: The easiest way to build an app, faster. Developers can visually build apps and accelerate screen development and then generate clean, usable, production-ready code. App Builder empowers developers of any skill level to visually build apps with a WYSIWYG drag and drop interface, including a complete toolbox of 65-plus UI components.
- Reveal: Developers can embed interactive dashboards and analytics directly within their applications for real-time, data-driven insights. Reveal allows end-users to analyze data, extract actionable insights, and make data-driven decisions without ever leaving their application.
The launch of Ignite UI open-source controls reflects Infragistics’ growing commitment to the developer community by providing free-to-use controls designed for fast adoption across development teams and enabling rapid proof of concepts (POCs) and risk-free evaluation, the company said.
Through new engineering investments and open-source contributions, Infragistics aims to make application development more visual, accessible, and productive. The new open source components also gain the visibility and community collaboration of GitHub.
“By making Ignite UI open source we’re enabling developers to build faster, better and more scalable web applications, powered by enterprise-grade components and backed by Infragistics' 35+ year legacy,” said Jason Beres, COO at Infragistics. “This further expands on our mission to empower every developer, everywhere, to create high-performing digital experiences with the right tools.”
