Background: NG-ZORRO is an Angular UI library that is based on the Ant Design System used by Alibaba. I have heard about this library so many times, but I have never used it in the past.

I am a developer in Toronto right now and I mostly use Angular Material. I think NG-ZORRO is definitely popular in China. I always want to try it out so I have created a simple project using this library. This blog describes my developer experience using NG-ZORRO for the first time.

NG-ZORRO vs Angular Material

Since I came from an Angular Material background, it is hard for me to not compare this library with Angular Material.
