• Angular vs React: https://www.cleveroad.com/blog/angular-vs-react
  • React comes on top.

AngularJS was built by Google ~2010. Angular2 (and above) ~2014

Frontend for (single-page?) applications

Using Javascript to interact with the DOM requires a lot of heavy-lifting
jQuery (a bit old nowadays) was used for this heavy-lifting

^Angular or ^React or ^View have a certain approach to developing a website

• ^Component-based framework. Components such as:
  • application bars
  • widgets
  • sidebars
• [Angular philosophy] You 've got ^templates and you've got ^data that fills these templates.
• You want to have loose coupling and high cohesion when designing websites.
• In angular you do ^Client-side routing (not server-side routing)
  • You don't have to request a new page from the server (e.g., when you click on a link). Angular (i.e., the frontend can handle that without making the request)
• ^{Dependency-injection} -> Makes unit-testing easier
  • Easy to mock modules (e.g., no need to make http requests during testing)
• You use Angular CLI to build components and run your application
• Isolates the ^View layer from the ^Model layer
• Angular plays well with ^Typescript and uses a lot of ^ES6 features
