Will Blazor have its own UI controls ?

Question

Its a good news that Blazor Framework is coming out. But I would like to ask you that will it have its own UI controls included such as angular,react etc., that could be used for front end development. Or else developers will have to rely on third party controls.

There are many ways to beautify UI's and there's no need to pay anything for it. You can create your own custom UI components using C#, HTML and CSS or use jQuery UI or Bootstrap. They are all free, tested and used by thousands of developers. I don't work for Microsoft but here's my opinion why they aren't building any UI components for Blazor. First of all, it's not Web Forms and second, there are already a bunch of options that you can use to build UI components and they designed it to be more flexible which gives the developers to choose whatever flavor they want to integrate in their app. This is also true for ASP.NET MVC. MVC doesn't have a built-in UI components. So you might want to ask yourself this: "Why reinvent the wheel"?

Though it's a server-side spa framework but for building beautiful web apps a good uI controls are needed and relying on third party uI controls is not so good since third party controls provided by telerik or dev Express are not free. Microsoft should include controls in blazor. What's your opinion guys.

Blazor is server-side SPA framework. The concept of it is same as Angular, React, Knockout or any other SPA frameworks. The difference is just that it's a server-side framework that runs on web assembly. Blazor lets you build interactive web UI using C# (Razor) instead of JavaScript. You can build reusbale web UIs using C# HTML, HTML5, CSS and as well as third-party UI controls such as Telerik, DevExpress and etc...
