What is AngularJS?
Angular.JS
is a JavaScript framework created by Google. It is most commonly used in web
and mobile app development. AngularJS is a structural framework for dynamic web applications.
Features:
DEVELOP
ACROSS ALL PLATFORMS: Learn one way to build applications with Angular and
reuse code and abilities to build applications for any deployment target. For
web, mobile web, native mobile and native desktop.
SPEED
& PERFORMANCE: Achieve the maximum speed possible on the Web Platform,
and take it further, via Web Workers and server-side rendering.
INCREDIBLE
TOOLING: Build features quickly with simple, declarative templates. Extend
the template language with your own components and use a wide array of existing
components. Get immediate Angular-specific help and feedback with nearly every
IDE and editor. All this comes together so you can focus on building amazing
apps rather than trying to make the code work.
Advantages of AngularJS:
Capability
to create Single Page Application in a very clean and maintainable way.
AngularJS
provides data binding capability to HTML thus giving user a rich and responsive
experience.
Unit
testable.
Dependency
injection and make use of separation of concerns.
Reusable
components.
Less
code and get more functionality.
Views
are pure html pages, and controllers written in JavaScript do the business
processing.
Latest version :
5.0.0 LTS
(Release Date : 2017-10-23)
Major differences between Angular 1 vs Angular 2 vs Angular
4 :
Architecture:
Angular
2.0 shows a substantial change in the structure as compared to version 1.0. The
architecture of Angular v1 is based on MVC whereas the architecture of Angular
v2 is based on service/controller. There is very less possibility to upgrade
the Angular v1 to v2, mainly developers have to rewrite the entire application
code.
The
upgrade of the version from 2.0 to 4.0 has reduced it’s bundled file size by
60%. The code generated is reduced and has accelerated the application
development. Here the developed code can be used for prod mode and debug.
JavaScript and TypeScript
Angular
v1.0 use JavaScript to build the application while Angular v2.0 uses the
Typescript to write the application. TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript
which helps to build more robust and structured code. Dart can be used by
developers along with TypeScript in version 2.0.
Angular
v4.0 is compatible with newer versions TypeScript 2.1 and TypeScript 2.2. This
helps with better type checking and also enhanced IDE features for Visual
Studio Code.
Mobile Support
Angular 2.0 has made it possible to
accomplish the native applications for a mobile platform like React Native.
Angular 2.0 gives us the two layers: application layer and the rendering layer.
As need, any view can be rendered in runtime for the required component.
Component-based UI
The controller concept which was present
in Angular v1.0 is eliminated in Angular v2.0. Angular v2.0 has changed to
component based UI. This helps a developer to divide the applications in terms
of components with desired features and enable to call required UI. These have
helped to improve the flexibility and reusability as compared to Angular v1.0
