I think this question is best answered by @chrisdholt who leads our components and experiences team. I'll defer to him to provide an explanation about the site and future plans.
In general, I will say that we try to run the open source project as any other open source. So, if the community says "we really need component X", that is something we will listen to. Because we must juggle many competing priorities for our time, sometimes the reason we don't have a specific component is not because we don't want to, but because no one has specifically asked for it, and due to the lack of request, we've prioritized other work (where perhaps we have heard community response).
Definitely, always feel free to request specific components. It's easiest if we have an issue per component, and if you share a few of your use cases for the particular component. We take the component design, extensibility, accessibility, etc. of each component pretty seriously so any scenarios you can provide are very helpful. The best place to request the components is probably on our main FAST monorepo here: https://github.com/microsoft/fast Specifically mention that you want a Fluent version of the component so we know how to prioritize our design system work. Once the component lands in the main library, it's fairly easy for us to add a wrapper here for Blazor developers.
@EisenbergEffect @chrisdholt has this been addressed? If so, may we close this issue?
Command Bar has been added as Toolbar. Avatar and Rating are in development. I think we should close this in lieu of having individual component requests opened on the main repo. That will help us to figure out what to build next.
For future reference, please make requests for individual components here: https://github.com/microsoft/fast If you specifically want it as a FluentUI component, please add that detail to the request (since our team maintains more than one design system). Thank you!
🙋 Feature Request
Hi! So this "fast.design" is more of a generic frontend web framework, which also includes some components from Fluent UI? I'm having problems understanding the difference between fast.design and fluent UI.
https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/fluentui#/
I noticed in the examples, a lot of components are missing in fast.design, for instance, Avatar component, Rating, Command Bar, Ribbon Menu, etc. So I don't know what are we supposed to do with those components? I am using "BlazorFluentUI" and it does work quite well (although it has bugs), with all controls from Fluent UI supported, but I would really prefer to go with the official MS framework.
Can we expect to have additional (all!) components in the future, or shall we treat fast.design framework as something not entirely focused on the Fluent UI (more like a separate, generic "one size fits them all" framework)?
Thank you.
