First impression of Taiga

[Olgagr]

First of all, I would like to thank you for the hard work and extensive library!

I've just started to work with Taiga, and I would like to present my impression. Maybe to improve some things. As a potential user of such a library, I check:

1. Are there all or most of the components that I will need?
2. How easy it is for me to customise components? After all, we rarely need the default look of them.

Referring to the first point, I was delighted. The library supports a wide range of components. They are nicely documented. So it was less than 30 minutes for me to verified that there is almost everything that I would need. Well done!

In terms of the second point (component customisation), I've already had some hard time. For example, I need my input field to have a label outside. First of all, I would expect that I can change that globally. I can't, or I couldn't find that in the docs. There is an input that I can pass [tuiTextfieldLabelOutside]. I can't just add this property to the <tui-input>. First, I need to "Can be expanded with TuiTextfieldController:" (quote from the docs). What the heck? What does it mean? Clicking on TuiTextfieldController link brings me to the first page of the docs. It took me some time that it means I have to import TuiTextfieldControllerModule. It should be documented somewhere as this is unclear what does it mean.

Moreover, I think the idea of styling components through wrapper might be better documented. It would be great if there are more examples of other components customisation. I spend quite a lot of time wrapping my head around this idea :)

You can add following provider to your main module to make labelOutside: true for all controls:

    {
        provide: TUI_TEXTFIELD_LABEL_OUTSIDE,
        useValue: {labelOutside: true},
    },

As for textfield controller, the link is broken, we will fix it. Here's the page about this directive:

Do you have any suggestions as to how to improve customization with wrapper docs?

Hi

I've just discovered this library, and wanted to echo the first point - congratulations on a fantastic set of components. They look great, and the documentation is fantastic. I'm excited to try them out on our project.
