Why choose Angular for Development in 2020

Why choose Angular for Development in 2020

It is unanimously accepted that companies have today become more digital to facilitate growth. Everyone wants to have fun with the part of the income generated through a digital presence and wants to be on the Internet. With a large number of websites already on the web, each day that goes by puts only additional websites online.

With such intense competition, the need for user-friendly and interactive web applications becomes very crucial to foster business success. Angular has served as the perfect framework to lead the industry for the production of scalable solutions that meet people's needs.

Angular is known as an open-source Javascript framework that was first developed in 2009 by Google developer Misko Hevery. The structure based on CSS, HTML, and JS in order to facilitate front end development.

Angular JSAngular web applications have been so successful that about 8,400 websites support this framework. Some of these companies also include Upwork, PayPal and Netflix.

Here are the Reasons why Angular is the most popular

There are many reasons why Angular technology has become so popular among people-

It is very easy to use

Angular has many features that allow web application development professionals to design websites with minimal coding. The requirement to write setters and getters in different data models is removed. Less coding saves a lot of time and effort.

It has Model view controller architecture

There are many frameworks on the market for developing mobile applications. None of them, however, divide these MVC architecture applications other than Angular. It carefully uses this functionality and Angular JS also comes with lots of potentials for combining the application code. Much time is saved at the development stage and also decreases the time it takes for an application to enter the market.

The benefit of Client-side compatibility

Angular operations are on the client-side. Client-side compatibility makes the app easy to use for mobile browsers and websites. The framework is also very versatile, allowing you to develop the front end of any mobile application without making any changes to the back end.

Dual Data Binding

One of the most amazing features of Angular is the double data link. This means that any changes that take place in the application have a direct impact on the user interface. The same also applies to the other side. With this framework, user actions and module changes take place together.

Modular Advantage

This is another great feature offered by Angular. Developers can create certain modules in the context of a single application. Since modules depend on each other, they can also be combined to run an entire application. Angular Js understands the need to automatically create a new module so that it can then be combined with the other application modules already developed.

Ease of Filters

The filters offered by Angular provide a lot of help when you need to modify the data stored in the responsive design of Angular. This directory gives developers a number of filters for lowercase, uppercase, numbers, currency, date, and more. Angular also has the option of creating an entirely new filter with the registration of a new filter factory.

Very Good Community Support

Because Google is considered with the development of Angular Js, there is a large Angular community that involves fairly expert Angular developers. Expert developers are qualified enough to make improvements with the open-source network of Angular. They also host Angular conferences while inviting IT companies from around the world to provide them with information about changes and new developments in technology.

Very Easy Testing Process

The test becomes a simple procedure when it comes to the Angular Js framework. The measurement becomes easy because the manipulation of different parts of the application placed in Angular is a simple process. In addition, the module separation function allows developers to load the required services and run automated tests with enormous ease.

It has Single Page Application (SPA) feature

SPA is the abbreviation for Single Page Application. It is closely related to the angular Js. Together, they help provide the form validation capability. This means that if a page uses forms, the form controller monitors their performance status. With this data, developers can easily change the behavior of HTML elements in the user interface. Angular comes with built-in controls that help manage errors. You also have the freedom to create a set of your own confirmations. You can also display error messages throughout the form or in separate fields.

Anyone starting out as a beginner wants to have a general idea of how easy it is to build web applications with Angular or not. In response to this, if there is a little command on Js, HTML, and CSS, it becomes simple to develop a single page application. However, even people with a lesser understanding of Angular can create pure SPA due to a large number of solutions ready for web applications.

Conclusion

The above points will give you a fair idea of why Angular Js is and will be the most popular choice for web application development. When working for Web development using the Javascript framework, nothing even comes close to Angular. Even single-page apps for online businesses are a breeze with Angular.

Hi Sanjith! I thanks so much for your article, but I believe you should change it a little bit to talk about Angular (2,4,5,6,7,8,9) and not AngularJS. Angular is not the same of AngularJS. Angular came to replace AngularJS and AngularJS won't be supported by Google starting June next year.

At this point, I don't even know which is the best. Angular surely implement new features but I had such a hard time configuring that I wound mind going back do AngularJS. With AngularJS you can get up and running quickly.

The new angular seems like a bit much at first. After spending some time with it the configuration part gets a lot easier. If you use the CLI to generate new modules and components it's really not difficult at all. Once you're familiar with typescript it just feels like writing code

Also, if you're looking for something easier to configure at your own pace - I would suggest React or Vue over angularjs. Since angularjs is getting deprecated, will be no longer supported, getting less popular. Vue and react are only increasing in their popularity so there's a lot of resources out there

Yes, I agree. I loved angularJS and have worked with it for years. However, since the long term support will run out in less than 2 years, it certainly does not make sense to start a project with it. Additionally, what was so revolutionary about it is now part of many frameworks.
In order to play nice with various implementation scenarios I avoid built scenarios that are potentially a problem for certain backends (would take too long to go into it, but angular2+ would be very annoying for my development cycle). I would therefore highly recommend Vue. You will feel at home within a day as data-binding and directives are very similar in nature.

Thanks for sharing informative article. Choosing the right front-end technology for your project could be truly a daunting task. From a business perspective, you would rather focus on a framework that helps you develop intuitive UI and deliver excellent UX to your customers.With Angular, you don't have to incorporate third-party libraries in your tech-stack for creating basic functionality for your digital product, this reduces the app development cost and time, an advantage of Angular that businesses. There are many reason to choose Angular, Found one blog check out here bit.ly/3dUuvlT
