about ui components

[rraammiinn]

why do it doesn't have any ui components libraries like vue .
it's biggest discouragement .
can be any way to translate components libraries of react or vue to imba components ?

Imba is quite compatible with web components. So it works quite well with web-component UI kits. Example: https://shoelace.style/

We have a work in progress at https://github.com/imba/imba/tree/master/packages/imba-ui

I think the reason we haven't made a comprehensive component library yet is because it's often just faster to make your own components, that's just the nature of Imba.

Which components are you looking for exactly?

for someone like me who doesn't know css they're essential and some components like switch and more complex ones are very hard to create .
I like imba so much that I don't understand why it isn't more popular than typescript but because of components libraries I'm using vue .
I even can't make a dark theme for my existing app if the library doesn't provide it .
I can use css frameworks but they are limited to existing html elements .
