Should I use Angular Material or Bootstrap Material for my Angular 6 app?


I decided to create a new Angular 6 application with Material Design. The question is what material library to use?

As I see other Bootstrap Material library has their own version for Angular to avoid using JQuery. (https://mdbootstrap.com/angular/)

Why do you need to avoid it? Is it buggy or just hard for development?

MDBootstrap for Angular has free and payed version. I didnt like the free version and cannot use the payed one.

Should I really use Material Design for Bootstrap with JQuery in my new Angular app?


Solution

  • This is an interesting question, but I think it is above all a matter of taste and personal use.

    I consider Bootstrap is modern and Material is elegant, but those are my personal view.

    As for use, I find Bootstrap more easily customizable and complete.

    I also point out other libraries more or less similar, I got along well with NgBootstrap for Angular: https://ng-bootstrap.github.io/#/home
