Ignite UI for Angular — UI Components

Prerequisites

• An Angular project on the major version matching the installed igniteui-angular package (igniteui-angular majors track Angular majors)
• @angular/cli installed
• igniteui-angular or @infragistics/igniteui-angular added to the project via ng add igniteui-angular (or the @infragistics variant) or npm install — see Package Variants below.
• A theme applied to the application (see igniteui-angular-theming).
• provideAnimations() in app.config.ts — required before using any overlay or animated component

Ignite UI CLI MCP Server (recommended, not required)

The igniteui-cli MCP server provides list_components, get_doc, search_docs, search_api, and get_api_reference. Its full component docs cover a subset of components (the catalog grows over releases — call list_components once to see what exists; e.g. Combo, Simple Combo, Chat, Tooltip, and grid toolbar/export docs). Where a get_doc doc exists, prefer it over the reference files below. search_api/get_api_reference cover API members (inputs, outputs, methods) for all components — use them for member-level lookups. For everything else, the reference files below are the primary guidance.

If the tools are not available, do not block the task — use the reference files. Suggest that the user run npx -y igniteui-cli ai-config from the project root (it configures both the igniteui-cli and igniteui-theming MCP servers and copies the agent skill files) and reload the editor. MCP servers cannot be started mid-session; the configuration takes effect on the next session. Editor-specific details are in references/mcp-setup.md.

Required Workflow

This file is a routing hub only. It contains no code examples and no API details. Component APIs change between releases, so never write component selectors, import paths, input/output names, or directive names from memory — read the relevant reference files first.
