The best place to start with Onsen UI is our Getting Started page.
We just released the RC of Onsen UI 2. The new version includes Material Design, React components, Angular 2 components and much more. Check out all the new features here!
Onsen UI is:
-
Open source, free and open for all. It's designed and implemented to deliver unprecedented user interface and user experience for your mobile and hybrid apps. Onsen UI is built on top of Web Components so applications can be built using HTML tags web developers already know and love.
-
Framework agnostic. This means that it can be used with whatever front-end framework you prefer. However, it also provides a binding library for Angular 1 & 2 which makes it easy to integrate our custom tags with these frameworks. React Components for Onsen UI are also available and they play really well with React tooling such as React Hot Loader, Redux or MobX.
-
Completely integrated with Monaca kit, a complete set of tools that makes PhoneGap/Cordova development super simple. Monaca CLI provides Onsen UI templates, device debugger, remote building and any service you might need directly from your terminal. We also have GUI and cloud alternatives if you prefer that over CLI.
-
Beautifully made with flat (iOS) and Material Design (Android) flavors. It automatically styles your app depending on the platform and gives you control to customize it. Check out our Automatic Styling in action. It also includes Onsen CSS Components, a free resource of UI templates with "theme roller" functionality. Developers can pick and choose, grab the code they need, and they're off and running. And they can create their own templates and submit to Onsen UI to be included with other templates available.
-
Fully documented. And if you want even more, we provide an Interactive Tutorial where you can try and modify examples, export your code online and even generate Cordova projects.
-
Community based. Check out our blog, forum and chat to get the latest updates and directly contact the dev team. We are always very active answering questions so you don't get stuck with your apps.

The distribution repository is located here. React Components for Onsen UI are distributed separately in this other repo.
Onsen UI is available with npm, bower or jspm. Example:
$ npm install onsenui
For React:
$ npm install react-onsenui
For an example that uses React, Redux and Webpack you can check out our Weather app sample. Try the demo here.
For Angular2:
$ npm install angular2-onsenui
A new build is generated every time the code changes. It can be downloaded on this page.
Please use this with caution. However, we are very grateful if people try it out so we can find bugs and things to improve before the sharp releases.
Clone this repository and run the following commands to build the project:
$ npm install
$ gulp build
The files will be built and copied into build folder.
$ gulp serve
- Then navigate your browser to http://0.0.0.0:3000/examples/index.html
Onsen UI has unit tests for the Web Components as well as end-to-end testing of the AngularJS directives using Protractor.
Use the following commands to run the unit tests:
$ npm install
$ gulp core-test
or these commands for the protractor tests:
$ npm install
$ gulp e2e-test
It will take some time the because it will download a stand-alone Selenium Server and a Chrome webdriver the first time it's executed.
To run a single test or a group of tests use the --specs
parameter and provide a comma-separated list of spec files:
$ gulp e2e-test --specs test/e2e/lazyRepeat/scenarios.js
In order to run both the unit tests and the end-to-end tests use the following command:
$ gulp test
