Question 1

How to install spartan/ui in an existing Angular project?

Accepted Answer

Use the Spartan CLI included in the libs/cli folder, which allows easy addition to Nx or Angular workspaces. The README outlines this modular approach for integrating brain and helm libraries without the full stack.

Question 2

Spartan vs Angular Material: which should I choose?

Accepted Answer

Spartan is better for teams wanting unstyled, accessible primitives with a shadcn/ui aesthetic and modern full-stack integration, while Angular Material offers more mature, pre-styled Material Design components out of the box. Consider your need for customization versus ready-made styles.

Question 3

Can I use spartan without Supabase?

Accepted Answer

Yes, spartan/ui can be used independently, but spartan/stack relies on Supabase for the database. You can adapt the stack by swapping out Supabase, though the README's example is tightly coupled to it.

Question 4

How to customize styles in spartan/ui components?

Accepted Answer

Styles are in the helm libraries using Tailwind CSS, so you can override Tailwind classes or create custom helm libraries. The modular brain/helm separation makes it easy to adjust styles without modifying core logic.

Question 5

Is spartan suitable for large enterprise apps?

Accepted Answer

While the production-ready stack is promising, the project's early stage might pose stability risks for enterprise use. However, its modularity and testing setup could support scalability as the community grows.

Question 6

What are the performance implications of tRPC with Angular?

Accepted Answer

tRPC adds type-safe API calls but introduces overhead compared to REST. In spartan/stack, it's integrated with Analog for SSR, so performance is optimized for modern full-stack apps, though it may require careful tuning for high-traffic scenarios.
