Angular UI Bootstrap vs Riot: What are the differences?
Developers describe Angular UI Bootstrap as "Bootstrap components written in pure AngularJS". It adds many components to extend Angular. It doesn't use jQuery and are directives built from the ground up for each of the Bootstrap JS components. On the other hand, Riot is detailed as "A React-like user interface micro-library". Riot brings custom tags to all browsers. Think React + Polymer but with enjoyable syntax and a small learning curve.
Angular UI Bootstrap and Riot can be categorized as "Javascript UI Libraries" tools.
Some of the features offered by Angular UI Bootstrap are:
- carousel
- datepicker
- datepickerPopup
On the other hand, Riot provides the following key features:
- Absolutely the smallest possible amount of DOM updates and reflows.
- One way data flow: updates and unmounts are propagated downwards from parent to children.
- Expressions are pre-compiled and cached for high performance.
Angular UI Bootstrap and Riot are both open source tools. It seems that Angular UI Bootstrap with 14.7K GitHub stars and 7.3K forks on GitHub has more adoption than Riot with 13.8K GitHub stars and 1.02K GitHub forks.
