Formly is a dynamic, JSON-powered form library for Angular built on top of Angular Reactive Forms. It automatically generates forms from field configurations or JSON Schema, with theming support for Bootstrap, Material, Ionic, PrimeNG, Kendo, NG-ZORRO, and NativeScript.

Use cases

• generate angular forms from configuration
• build dynamic forms without writing templates
• render forms from schema
• create forms with material design or bootstrap styling
• auto-generate form ui from a data model
• maintain large form-heavy angular applications
• build forms for ionic mobile apps

When to choose

• you use Angular and want configuration-driven forms
• forms must be generated dynamically from JSON or JSON Schema at runtime
• you need consistent forms across multiple UI libraries like Material or Bootstrap
• you want to reduce boilerplate in form-heavy applications

When to avoid

• you use React, Vue, or a non-Angular framework
• you need pixel-perfect custom form layouts that configuration-driven rendering can't express
• your project uses AngularJS 1.x rather than modern Angular
• you prefer hand-written templates with full control over each field
