We’re excited to announce the launch of the Tyler Forge™ MCP Server, a new way to bring the power of Forge directly into your favorite AI coding assistants. Whether you’re using Claude, Codex, or another MCP-compatible tool, you can now give your AI instant access to the full Tyler Forge™ design system and component library documentation — right where you code.
We are excited to announce the release of Forge Extended, a new library of prebuilt Forge patterns as components for Tyler Forge! This new library of components is designed to help you build applications faster and more efficiently by providing extended components that are composed of existing Forge components, and can easily be integrated into your projects. Forge Extended will help to reduce development time and effort, while increasing consistency and quality.
As we move into 2025 and look ahead, we wanted to share what we have planned for Forge in the coming year. We have a lot of exciting updates and features on deck, and we can't wait to share them with you. Let's dive in!
Today we're excited to share the next major version of Tyler Forge™ components! It has been a monumental effort, and we're extremely happy with where the final product ended up. This new version modernizes the library, and opens the door to many new possibilities for developers building applications with Forge. We're looking forward to seeing what you build with it!
As we near completion of development work on Forge 3.0, we wanted to give everyone a brief update about what this next major version is, what you can expect from it, and when you can start using it. We know many of you are eager to get your hands on it, and hopefully this post will help answer any questions you may have.
As we move more and more toward responsive design there has been increasing interest in CSS container queries. For those of us who aren’t on the cutting edge of CSS development, container queries are a new feature that allows us to apply styles based on a containing element’s dimensions. This is conceptually similar to typical media queries, which are based instead on the qualities of the viewport as a whole.
The Angular framework does a "pretty good" job of working with Web Components out of the box, but having to use CUSTOM_ELEMENTS_SCHEMA weakens template type-checking overall, can mask errors, and doesn't provide any autocomplete or IntelliSense. As of v2.1.0 of the @tylertech/forge-angular library, however, released in November 2022, it's no longer necessary to specify the schema, and if you import the associated modules, Forge components can be used as though they were Angular components!
The split view component arrived with Forge 2.9.0 a few months ago, finally giving us a way to develop resizable layouts without relying on third party libraries. This is a powerful tool that's been a long time in the making. It also has the potential to be a little confusing to use up front. This post will be an introduction to the split view, showing how you can use it and some of the thought that went into its development.
Welcome to the new and improved Forge design system website!
This is the first step toward a larger goal of open sourcing the design system so that it is publicly accessible. We are hoping to share the great work that the Forge team has done with the public community, as well as provide a design system to go along with our open source Forge Web Component library.
How to upgrade applications & libraries from TCW (1.x) to Forge 2.x.
Welcome to the TCW/Forge upgrade guide! If you're looking for information about how to upgrade from TCW v1.x to Forge 2.0, you've come to the right place.
With the next generation version of Tyler Components Web (TCW) now being generally available, you probably have a lot of questions about how to upgrade, what is happening with the previous version, what has changed... etc. This guide is intended to walk you through the process of upgrading your applications and libraries, and answer all of the questions above and much more.
Yes, there are breaking changes that come with this upgrade, but we can assure you the process is not as daunting as it may seem.
Please let us know if you run into any problems that are not documented in this guide!
Let's get started!
In order to optimize Forge use, teams should avoid creating libraries from Forge components and should ensure that the components are kept up to date.
It's worth noting that this concept applies to any package that you want as a dependency of your library, but you want to allow for the consumer/dependent to control the version for compatibility with multiple versions of the library in question.
