The Angular JavaScript framework has been around the corner for some time now and has been growing rigorously.
Among other use cases, Angular surely makes the list of technology options for the development of Single Page Applications. There are many aspects to the decision in selecting an efficient, suitable framework that will meet the application requirements.
Angular framework has proven its eminence for several types of applications across various domains.
There are different angles to look at Angular; different perceptions from different roles.
Do you Wonder What a Developer Thinks?
It is a good idea to explore Angular before start developing your applications in it. To start with, you might want to take a look at TypeScript, as Angular is built, in its entirety, in TypeScript.
It uses TypeScript as a primary language.
“But isn’t it a JavaScript Framework?”
Well, the answer to that….. is a little tricky.
Not really. To put it simply, TypeScript is compiled into JavaScript, which then gets executed.
You write your code using TypeScript in Angular but at the time of execution, it is JavaScript that gets executed.
Angular provides a strong CLI tool which is invigorating for Angular developers.
Think about e2e (end to end) testing using tools like Jasmine, Karma, creating a production build, creating a component or service, or simply serving your application in the development environment; this CLI tool can do it all!
Unlike AngularJS, Angular is structured in a component-based architecture. These components act as small atomic units which can be reused at several places.
This architecture triumphs over the old MVC structure on which legacy AngularJS was based on. The reusable components heavily contribute in refined architected application. They certainly reduce the cost for development over a period of time.
Angular community has been highly active and growing by the day.Look at this StackoverFlow Trend
Considering the elevated spirit of the Angular Community & bustling out new versions every now and then with new and enhanced features, we can say that Angular is here to stay and still has a huge potential to evolve.
