Why angular?
- 2. There is no “One size fits all" - not exists framework that will fit any situation - in this slides outlined subjective opinion about frontend framework selection that will fit next needs - should work fast on wide range of devices - should have strong architecture to force proper development and reduce cost of changes
- 3. A few words about competitors: React - React - simple enough solution with low learning curve - seems best fit for one-man or just little teams - probably can be built good enough solution with it, but it will have frontendish smell, not OOP, SOLID and so on
- 4. A few words about competitors: Vue.js - Vue.js - “fork” of angularJS (first version of Angular), first release 02.2014 - have very similar architecture to angular but more loose - again in pluses low learning curve but more robust solution than on React - team size 30 https://github.com/orgs/vuejs/people - supported by enthusiasts - sites that use https://madewithvuejs.com/ - Other - maybe exists other but this seems most prominent
- 5. A few words about competitors: Others - maybe exists other but this seems most prominent
- 6. Angular overview - Angular is rebuilt from ground up version of AngularJs, firstsecond release 09.2016 - current version is 6, and Google promise 2 versions per year - robust solution but with higher learning curver than competitors because of that - supported by ~60 team members - https://github.com/orgs/angular/people - supported by Google - https://www.madewithangular.com/
- 7. Speed - angular has modular system that allow loading only needed modules - at septemberoctober in plan release of angular 7 that besides others changes should bring new rendering engine that should increase speed - Ivy has been engineered with Tree shaking in mind, which means that application bundles will only include the parts of Angular source code that is actually used by the application.
- 8. Documentation - like Code Complete, it not just solve issues it enforce and suggest best software engineering practices - link with live examples where you can debug without spending time for setup locally anything
- 9. Top Notch SEO - really native seossr support done by guys that actually do the search
- 10. DI - inbuilt dependency injections system that helps code organization, and enforce speed
- 11. Two Way Data Binding - no code to populate input with data, just set this and model will be loaded to display and changed
- 12. Styles organization - have one global on app level and import it and separate on component level
- 13. Project folder structure example - https://medium.com/@motcowley/angular-folder-structure- d1809be95542 - great solution for really big projects
- 14. Architecture - live example:https://angular.io/generated/live-examples/toh-pt3/stackblitz.html - all decision is done, needed to force and follow, no discussions about this
- 15. Conclusion - for me this is no brainer that Angular is best frontend framework - it is fast - enforce best practices by design - no discussions about how and so just focus on implementation of the tasks, like with Symfony, in doubts link to doc
