Angular Vs. React

Right now you probably understand what is the benefits of developing a JavaScript framework like Angular or React.

The next question that usually comes is whats the best one to use? What should I use for my organisation which is the best one in general and unfortunately it’s not an easy answer. Because both these frameworks share similar concepts that make building scalable web applications possible.

Imagine we go to a car shop and ask the salesman what the best car? Well! It depends right? We might need to know that all the cars are technical takes us from A to B, but do it in different ways and thus the one vs the other based on those features. So it’s very similar with JavaScript frameworks. A lot of them are based on component types developments making scalable for large applications easier but they do it in different ways.

So some developers really like Angular and some really like React. But again both are great solutions to make large mobile applications or web applications.

What if we encourage the team to test derive these tools and pick out the best solution for yourself with that said, lets get into some differences between Angular and React.
Angular as a framework is a complete framework for either web applications or mobiles applications. It has everything we need to large-scale applications out of the box. Its built on JavaScript which can be used to enhance built on using Typescript. It is a language which has files down into Java Scripts which essentially gives us features of the future to use today as well as optimising our code for the browser because remember once new JavaScript standard defined browser still need to catch up and still implement those features will make them able to use.

Typescript lets us use this features and then worries about spinning code that the browser understands. It’s a strongly typed language which allows developers to specify data types and strict contents between various code. Those who come from Java or C# background might really like Typescript that helps us to reuse the team’s knowledge to keep the same team velocity by providing the same excellent developer experience as c# a huge improvement over plain JavaScript features.

Now there is one of the greatest benefits of having Typescript is that the compilation process is that we can catch up a lot of code before you run your application. If you like to work with JavaScript you can understand the pain and miss spelling words that crash your entire program.

You will miss your precious minutes hunting for that. That is all because of the silly mistakes to be clear, Typescript can be used for lot of potential things like React. But the cool thing about Angular is that it really treat like you are a first class citizen. All the documentation is default around Typescript.

If you are using React and if you want Typescript you might find out hard to find documentation or others doing the same thing.

Now to build your mobile application, there are a couple of ways in which we can do this. We can use the ionic framework which is truly hybrid approach making cross-platform apps. That uses the web browser within a native app container or we can use a native script which is a truly made of applications with a native view Uhnow which achieving 60 frames per second.

These are the 2 main differences between the ionic and native script and those definitely posing stable approaches because this is an introductory blog we are going to save it for later.

One of the main difference between Angular and React is that Angular is a data full-flagged toolkit for web applications out of the box. Angular has inclusions for routing, accessing data services, templating and more.

I think the biggest advantage with Angular is that everything is right there to use and this is going to provide you with a lot of consistency across angular applications including how you should structure your project. It has new libraries and setups. Typescript usually needs to be wrapped in some kind of Angular service tools to work with other components.

There is definitely an Angular way to do some things. Can you use Angular without Typescript? Sure you can! But its really probably not easy to use widely, so you really don’t like to Typescript your application, might be best choosing it to different framework may be something like React and the question that all remains are who is using it Angular today?

Well the NBA’s, GrubHub etc. and more listed companies using Angular1 and 2 you can go with angular.com and see the full listing of more showcases.

React on the other hand takes the different approached job because React is just a piece of a puzzle. Reacts big selling point is its used for a virtual DOM and the emphasis is on application state. Now you are probably asking whats a virtual DOM. For it to understand we need to talk about a regular DOM for a few seconds.

The Document Object Model or DOM is the representation of all your code. It takes our HTML and JavaScript to what we see on the actual page. For an in-depth explanation on DOM or whatever really is the DOM was never really built for the dynamic web applications that are used today, really websites for static content, a plain text where we got on the page.

These days we are really pushing the DOM way which was not designed to do so React when solving this performance problem by extracting itself away from the environment.
With React you actually work with an object representation of the DOM. React maintains 2 snapshots, 1 is original and other is without data changes and then compares the two to find the difference updating only that’s more piece of code that needs to be changed rather than rewriting the entire HTML document.

What ends up happening is a huge performance boost. We are not forcing the whole browser to be plain itself every time there is a change. Again there is a lot more goes into this process.

One of the favorite things about React is the focus it has on application state. It’s an object that determines how the code or components renders and behaves.

You can think of the state as a single source of truth for all the React components. Rather than keeping values and variables that are literal throughout components.

For applications, they are maintained in a single object that can be only be updated through a special method of sets. Merged through a private property like the update with the Public method. Now you still use variables in React but the state is an object used for anything that dynamic like our data that might change or may be valued to show how the loading spinner this makes it really easy to bug React application then you can always find this specific state shall we produce some bug or some feature.

Now because React focuses on these 2 features of virtual and DOM states we need to fill in those pieces like Routing and templating. Luckily there are tons of React libraries out there as a direct router and JSX. JSX is not technically templating but it serves and resembles similar properties and functionality tools as we create. React app really is easy to create React that already has many pieces of the puzzle for you.

It doesn’t really care if you include any library, you can easily snug up a package of NPM import java application and off we go. The downside with that is that a lot of React application can vary compositions with so many tools to accomplish similar tasks you might find two React applications that work very different.

We can achieve a lot of things once we get in there. There are so many React packages out there and literally important to agree upon what we going to use it on the same page within an organisation.

In React we can also make mobile applications just like angular. We use React native for it. We could technically use the native script with React.

Twitter, Airbnb, Uber or Pinterest use React somewhere there in their projects.
