Question 1

How do I customize styling in GUI with Angular Material?

Accepted Answer

Use Angular Material's theming system by defining a theme and including GUI's control themes via SCSS, as detailed in the setup section. Override styles with custom CSS classes or SCSS variables integrated into the JSON configuration.

Question 2

Is GUI better than using Reactive Forms directly in Angular?

Accepted Answer

GUI reduces boilerplate for standard forms through JSON abstraction, but Reactive Forms offer more control for custom logic. Choose GUI for rapid development of configurable forms; use Reactive Forms for highly unique behaviors.

Question 3

Can GUI handle complex form validations?

Accepted Answer

Yes, validation rules can be defined directly in the JSON configuration using built-in properties. For advanced cases, extend the control set with custom validators via the extensible API.

Question 4

What's the performance impact of JSON config in large apps?

Accepted Answer

Dynamic rendering from JSON can introduce parsing overhead with many fields. Optimize by lazy loading configurations and minimizing frequent updates to maintain performance in large-scale applications.

Question 5

Does GUI work with Angular Universal for server-side rendering?

Accepted Answer

Since GUI is built on Angular, it should support SSR with Angular Universal, but dynamic JSON rendering may require careful state hydration. Check the documentation for specific SSR guidelines.

Question 6

How to extend GUI with custom components?

Accepted Answer

Use the extensible control set to add custom components by defining new types in the JSON schema and integrating them with Angular's component system, though this requires additional development effort.
