ej2ft

ej2ft is an open-source JavaScript framework intended for building modern web front-ends. It offers a modular collection of reusable user interface components, data visualization widgets, and a lightweight runtime designed for performance, accessibility, and internationalization. The project is framework-agnostic and aims to integrate smoothly with various development stacks, including native web components and popular frontend frameworks.

Architecture and features

ej2ft is built in TypeScript and organized as a set of modular packages. Its core runtime provides rendering, state management helpers, and lifecycle coordination, while individual packages supply UI controls, charts, forms, grids, and schedulers. The framework emphasizes accessibility conformance, responsive design, and themeability through CSS variables. It supports internationalization, lazy loading of components, and a plugin mechanism that enables extensions without altering core code. Web components compatibility is a core design goal, enabling interoperability across different frameworks and environments.

Development and ecosystem

The project originated in the early 2020s as a continuation of earlier frontend tooling in the same family, and it is developed by a global community of contributors. It follows a semantic versioning scheme and maintains a public roadmap, issue tracker, and contribution guidelines. releases are typically distributed via package managers and include comprehensive documentation, examples, and test suites. The ecosystem includes reference wrappers and adapters to facilitate use with popular frameworks, as well as a growing catalog of third-party add-ons and themes.

Usage and applications

ej2ft is used to build enterprise-grade dashboards, admin panels, analytics interfaces, and data-heavy web applications. Developers install it via package managers, import needed modules, and integrate components into their apps. Its design supports both client-side rendering and server-side rendering workflows, with emphasis on performance and accessibility across devices.
