primevue VS ant-design-vue

If you use Vue, then check out PrimeVue, a rich set of UI components for all your Vue based applications. The latest update includes some fixes, updates to documentation, and more. This new version is the public release of PrimeVue 4.0.0-rc.3, so you can view all the changes in the RC release notes.

PrimeVue unstyled core and Tailwind CSS would be a perfect toolset if you require to build a custom UI library. The main idea is to create your UI component by wrapping a PrimeVue component, pass your props as fall through and configure the pass-through Tailwind preset locally instead of a global configuration.

Here is a Stackblitz showcasing the useValidation composable in action https://stackblitz.com/edit/vue-use-validation-composable?file=src%2FApp.vue. The form is using components from PrimeVue and includes fields for a user's profile information, featuring nested address details.

PrimeVue has recently announced the new Unstyled mode that removes the default styling and exposes the component internals via pass through props API. With the unstyled mode, components do the hard work by providing the feature set and accessibility out of the box but leaves out the styling to the user.

8. Ant Design Vue Ant Design Vue is the Vue.js implementation of Ant Design, a popular UI library for React. It provides high-quality components and a polished UI experience. Visit the Ant Design Vue website for more details.

Ant Design: A solid option that is been used by a lot of heavy hitters, such as Tencent, Baidu, AliBaba, and more. Supports all modern browsers, SSR, esm, and even Electron. Has also community implementations for Angular, Vue, and more. Does use CSS-in-JS, so expect runtime overhead as well as AntD ways of doing things.

In my experience of building and delivering systems for various clients, depending on their requirements or preferences, it’s inevitable that I may use UI frameworks and libraries like Ant Design and Tailwind. Often, I have to build on top of each components. If you are working alone, it’s not such a big problem. But when working as a team, things get complicated quickly. So, I started looking at different methodologies which can provide development flexibility and system maintainability for the projects I’m leading. I choose Atomic Design methodology and want to share why it works for me.
