Telerik, Sencha and a few other companies sell RAD solutions or components for frameworks like Angular and co. There are also plenty of free JS toolkits

Angular and co, they don't come with components like Delphi or Winforms, although they might have some official libraries(Material design,Bootstrap...) or widget collections that are separated from the frameworks.
But most of them will only deal with UI/data binding and it will be up to you to build components on top of that.
IMHO if your goal is to build desktop like apps and LOB on the web, don't bother with Angular,Vuejs,React and co, this is not the right abstraction. If you are looking for complex data grids widgets, have a look at the link I provided.
This is the exact same reasoning for charts. If you are looking for charts to use in your apps, don't use D3.js, use a library that actually comes with charts.
