What do you like best about JQuery UI?

On the jQuery UI site, you can create a custom build for your own purposes depending on what components and features you actually need. So if you just need a modal pop up window, you can include just that feature and not have the bloat of the rest of the package. While there are front-end frameworks that are slowly introducing some of the components that are found in jQuery, the majority of them are not. For a website or app that needs to include a modern user interface, jQuery UI is a useful tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about JQuery UI?

Many components and features jQuery UI provides is being included in the latest front-end frameworks (Foundation, Bootstrap, etc.) using native browser functionality. This can make jQuery UI seem seem bulky or outdated by doing things the 'old' way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering JQuery UI:

jQuery UI is used all over the web. It can help you bring additional functionality and ease-of-use to your website or application. It will save you time from having to reinvent the wheel and build some components yourself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is JQuery UI solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use jQuery UI in some select projects depending on what kind of solution I'm building. It provides some features that aren't quite available in browsers natively yet, or makes those features easier to use with the jQuery UI implementation. Like the datepicker component - not standard across browsers natively and haven't seen it in a front-end framework... so if I need a datepicker sometimes I will use jQuery UI.

What do you like best about JQuery UI?

The easiest way to integrate the JQuery user interface with an existing application. Download the library and use the APIs to convert the standard user interface with a rich user interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about JQuery UI?

Still waiting for an API on the table object. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering JQuery UI:

This is the most stable APIs we found. JQuery API and the online theme generator reduced the development time from 3 months per application to 2 weeks development and testing time. The online examples are very helpful for the functional users to understand what UI components to be used for which requirement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is JQuery UI solving and how is that benefiting you?

Opening a dialog box was the biggest problem for most of our applications. It was always slow because the application used to open an instance of the web browser. JQuery dialog gave a lighter and rich user interface for the end users. We changed the Menu and Accordion for several applications which simplified the user screen. We saved lot of money of rewriting the whole application. JQuery UI ready to use theme helped us to convert all the page object colors to match our organization branding theme. We created a coustomer and vendor ranking screen using the Sortable API. This was the game changer for the organization when for the 1st time we decided to use JQuery UI. There were lot of information on the web page and we did not have an option to organize it. Accordion UI object helped us to group together the information for the users.

What do you like best about JQuery UI?

My favorite thing about jQuery UI is obviously it's integration with the already popular jQuery. It makes a seamless integration between both and offers various UI components. So if you're trying to build a concept, or just something quick, I think jQuery UI is the perfect solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about JQuery UI?

jQuery UI is kind of clunky, heavy, and out of date with all the new frameworks that have came out in recent years/months. Also with the release of HTML 5 it really isn't as necessary anymore as HTML 5 has brought a lot of the features offered by jQuery UI into native. Obviously, native is always better when you're want to build something that's fast, light weight, and works across devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering JQuery UI:

If you're looking to test a concept and are already using jQuery, then go right ahead. If you're developing something for production, I would suggest using another framework or working with what HTML5 already natively provides. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is JQuery UI solving and how is that benefiting you?

Before the release of all these new frameworks and native HTML 5, I would use jQuery UI to quickly build applications, interactive websites, or build concepts as it's really quick to get set up with jQuery UI, specially if you already have jQuery in your environment.

What do you like best about JQuery UI?

jQuery UI is a drop-in JS based UI kit. Incredibly easy to use (even for a monkey with a hammer). Very customizable. Used pretty much everywhere. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about JQuery UI?

It's old. Even in its more or less modern incarnation, it's a UI framework that had a good run - but is now simply replaced with much more modern and robust solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering JQuery UI:

If you're considering it for a new project? Don't. There are better solutions out there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is JQuery UI solving and how is that benefiting you?

I've used jQuery UI extensively in the last decade (mostly at the beginning of it) in a wide variety of projects. It was instrumental in creating JavaScript based UIs quickly and efficiently. As it turns out, I'm still kind of stuck with it on one major platform for collaboration and it does the job... Although it's clunky. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about JQuery UI?

Much like M.R.E food, that needs only hot water, JQuery UI's provide ready to use widgets that can be directly pasted into any composer including codepen.

JQuery UI is easy to use and customize, especially with bootstrap widgets, and themes are easy to add.

It reduces production time to less than a tenth.

It is directly amenable to zero-code development, though I still like to intimidate people with code, as Linus says stop the cheap talk, show us the code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about JQuery UI?

It is not customizable to many newer CSS libraries and themes, including support for reactive programming. I am sure stream based UI's will be added soon. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering JQuery UI:

It is a great way to write JS, reduces development time by a tenth, if the themes are suitable to you,

You can always contribute more themes and open publish it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is JQuery UI solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use embeddable JQuery objects in my I.F UI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about JQuery UI?

I like jquery UI but sometimes I don't just because of conflict the code sometime I purchase a theme from the website there is own custom build jquery functions and if you want to include your code you have to make sure the plugin file is already not embedded.

What do you like best about JQuery UI?

It has been around for awhile and a number of older applications use it... so most of the bugs have been worked out and there is a fair amount of help you can find online. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about JQuery UI?

It modifies the DOM directly, which means that if you are using it with any framework that does DOM caching then it will invalidate your cache and cause your application to slow down. This may be a little subjective, but the controls look a little dated at this point. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering JQuery UI:

If you are working with an older framework, like ASP MVC, or ASP Webforms then I think that this is a fine solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is JQuery UI solving and how is that benefiting you?

We utilized this as an alternative to basic html controls. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about JQuery UI?

It is simple to get around with most of the features out of the box. It has many plugins that are simple to integrate with the main library. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about JQuery UI?

It feels a bit outdated now that there are many frameworks and libraries available, but when you need to do something that does not require a full framework implementation it works ok.

Changing the design styles can be a PITA. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering JQuery UI:

For simple tasks, this can get you a long way in the path. Most of the plugins can be used with newer frameworks but then there are many newer alternatives when considering the use of a framework. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is JQuery UI solving and how is that benefiting you?

it is a simple tool most developers are familiar with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
