Every business can benefit from JavaScript frameworks such as Angular and the ones that aren’t keeping up have a lot to lose. Designed and maintained by Google, the framework is primarily used develop and run web applications on the client machine. The framework acts as one seamlessly integrated package that is specially built to overcome a wide range of limitations of existing technologies like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Moreover, it is the only framework that doesn’t make MVC seem like putting lipstick on a pig. The following posy emphasizes on why Angularjs should be among your top considerations while choosing a JS Framework.

We all know that JavaScript is a well-established technology used to render hot digital properties. Clubbed with HTML and CSS, the dynamic client-side programming language thoroughly aims to extend and improve web functionality. AngularJS was born as an open source web application framework in 2009 and since its inception, it is created some ripples in the market. The framework which allows creating hip and handy single page applications (SPAs) is not going to lose its ground.

Now I am sure you must have stumbled upon tons and tons of write-ups or posts that emphasize on features of the framework, for example, it offers Two-way data binding, DOM manipulation, improved server performance, faster application prototyping and so more. Well, I won’t discuss those, in fact, the post sums up everything that I have been hearing about AngularJS – A better choice.

Opinionated

Right from making decisions about product features to the technology decisions that will affect future agility of the codebase, there are thousands of decisions to be taken into account. I find Angular quite opinionated as it keeps on providing developers defaults for things like network connectivity, state management, language choice, build toolchain. The following tools are tested and validated on the continuous basis in order to make sure that the Angular platform moves forward at a steady and reliable pace. Besides, every organization has a different need, due to which Angular lets you swap out these defaults whenever appropriate. For example, Material Design was built to take advantage of the latest and greatest of Angular, but Angular allows companies to build or pick any UI Library that meets their needs.

Scaled

Created at Google to solve Google-scale problems, the platform enables one to build and manage shared code and to divide work among appropriate roles. If we have a close look at the structure of a trustworthy Angularjs development company in India, you will come across teams comprising of separate designers, engineers, quality assurance, and other roles. It may quite interest you to know that in order to separate these concerns and to allow developers to collaborate smoothly, the Component model was designed.

Maintenance is another concern of course for developers. The framework addresses this concern in two ways. First, by making use of TypeScript in order to find bugs and mistakes earlier in the process. TypeScript even allows professionals especially the amateur ones to a codebase to more quickly get up to speed due to their ability to more quickly see the types of data moving through the application.

Trustworthy

Without a shadow of a doubt, Angularjs allows companies to understand and plan for future changes to the platform. Being a Google product, the framework is capable enough to take advantage of Google’s testing infrastructure. Each and every change you make in Angular is validated against every Angular project within Google. Which means before any public release, the framework is already in use across hundred projects maximizing the chances of credibility.

Familiar

Programmers making use of Angular mostly come from one of two backgrounds. One where developers are familiar with declarative templates, dependency injection, pipes, services, and many of the concepts that are core to Angular. Other background includes developers coming from Java or C#.NET. Angular applications, in general, are broken into modules and components due to which programmers require to have the ability to import and export subparts of their application as needed.

Strong Ecosystem

You will come across a wide range of reusable tools, libraries and code sample out of which few have either updated to work with Angular, or are already in the process of being updated. Companies providing public and corporate training like Oasis Digital, Thinkster, Galvanize, and Thoughtram are part of the Angular ecosystem also includes

Conclusion

By now I hope you know why Angular is so powerful and popular. And the aforementioned reasons should be more than enough to convince you to make the switch to the newer, more agile platform. However, not all web apps should use Angular. For example- if you are writing a game or a computationally intensive math program, there is no reason why Angular would fit your particular problem domain. But for generic web apps, it should serve as a viable framework to build upon.

So that’s all for now! Keep watching the space to get a better perspective!

  1. I personally work on angularjs so its a good expreience and i like to use it in program.
    As i would like to mention this point so that every javascript programmer can use it
    1.Two-way data binding that enables singular behavior for the app which minimized risks of possible errors.
    2.MVVM (Model-View-ViewModel) that allows developers to work separately on the same app section using the same set of data.

  2. As angular js is the best javascript frame work. It used for single page application projects and widely used by programmers as its a open source,completely free and it also extends the html DOM with extra attribute so it will make the user more responsive.
