Every business is going online today with the help of customised web and mobile applications, from social media to healthcare, from OTT platforms to online banking. These companies, which connect to billions of users worldwide, want their applications or websites to be developed having seamless user experiences and interfaces.
There is a looming question: how are these apps developed so smoothly that millions of users worldwide can trust them? Part of the credit is given to frameworks like Angular.
This blog is a detailed analysis of why developers consider Angular their best arsenal to develop web and mobile applications for big projects. Please continue to read on!
Maintained By Google
Google developed Angular as there was a demand among developers to work with an open-source framework that would be easier to use for all developers and not just google developers. Team Google remained able to make Angular a global success. Below we enlist why Angular remains the top choice of developers to develop several web applications and apps.
Angular is an application that can continuously be improved with a strong focus on stability. Angular balances continuous improvement making updates easier and straightforward. The fast update feature of Angular allows users to take advantage of the maximum age-new feature. The same also facilitates better optimization of web applications and takes care of bug-fixing issues.
Team Google has also kept MIT licensing available for the Angular Software. MIT licence is termed as permission granted to developers for future use. The most significant advantage of MIT authentication is the broad range of permission it guarantees for using the Software.
Angular is granted the permission of MIT-style licensing that enables anyone to acquire a copy of it and its associated documented files. The same licence grants permission for Angular to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, or sell copies of the Software to the person to whom the Software is furnished to do so under the rules.
Last but not least, we should mention that Angular is an open-source web application framework that helps in functionality and assistance of large communities.
Cross-Platform Development
Angular emerged as the first framework that was designed around the Ionic framework. It allows the construction of several cross-platform mobile applications for Android and iOS using the Ionic components and Angular code.
Generally, cross-platform development of gadgets happens in coordination with large teams. When working in teams, reusable pieces of code and components saves a lot of time and energy.
In Angular technology, codes can be reused. There are two ways in which reusable code components can be used in an Angular setup— one by passing input to the element and the second by giving necessary data to the component. These reusable codes help one to save a lot of time by finishing the app faster. However, this fast wrapping up of the app does not compromise its quality.
On top of that, Angular makes the work of developers easier due to faster development of web applications by eliminating unnecessary codes. The same technology can construct much lighter apps resulting in improved page load speed. The loading time decreases because of Angular's MVC structure. Because Angular has many routing tools, it helps an app develop faster. Detailed documentation is available in Angular that helps in easier learnability and resolving bugs.
The codebase of Angular is called Ionic, and using this codebase only, one can handle HTML, CSS, or JavaScript platforms. The ionic codebase can run on the web, iOS, and Android using Ionic framework UI components. The codebase can also be integrated with Angular, react, and Vue to create high-quality mobile apps.
Ionic's runtime is also deployed as a native iOS and Android Mobile app using a capacitor that can be used in the different filesystems, cameras, and APIs.
Diverse Range of Use Cases
Because Angular is an open-source, MVC-based, MIT-licensed technology, it is used vastly by developers across several types of platforms.
Angular is used to build Progressive web apps. Progressive web apps are native apps that can be made using Angular. Progressive web apps are a concoction of WEB technologies such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. It can work on both mobiles and computers. As Angular is also built on Javascript, HTML, and CSS, using it for constructing progressive apps remains the top choice for developers.
Popular single-page applications like Netflix are built around Angular Software. Because Netflix is used by 18 to 80, they have kept their UI very simple, keeping it a Single page application. SPA applications use index.html, CSS bundle, and Javascript bundle. Developers these days prefer Angular Software to develop single-page applications as it adds more speed to the process.
More to it, Angular is popular as it has no dependency, navigation around web pages using Angular is simple, and automated testing can be performed in Angular to check the quality of the web app. AngularJs supports two-way data binding too. It supports browsers including IE version 9 and Above.
Besides Single Page applications, angular has proved to design large-scale enterprise applications with equal efficiency. Paypal, Upwork, and Wikiwand use Angular to develop their websites and apps. Developers prefer the use of Angular for building enterprise web apps for many reasons.
Robust Features
Angular is highly popular as a framework because of its robust features. These features help in building an appealing design rather than handling technical issues. We mention essential features of Angular that qualify it to be developers' first choice—
- Lazy Loading: Lazy Loading is a specific feature of Angular that helps load the JaVaScript components when a particular route gets activated. Lazy Loading splits the application into several bundles and helps to improve the load time. When a user navigates these apps, bundles get loaded as per the requirement.
- Easy Integration With Third-Party Plugins: With the help of ES Modules of Angular third-party plugins can take place. ES supports Lodash, another feature of Angular which enables third-party integration.
- Dependency injection: Dependency Injection or DI is one of the fundamental features of Angular. DI is wired into Angular Framework. DI enables a developer to use components, directives, pipes, and injectables to the Software they are making using Angular. It caters mainly to dependency consumers and dependency providers. It links the consumer and the providers with the help of an injector.
- Support for i18n: Angular internationalisation is referred to as i18N. This is a process for designing a project that different locales worldwide can use. Localization helps to build different versions of the same project. Localization includes extracting text for translating into other languages and formatting data for a specific locale.
- Use of Typescript: Typeset is a superset of typed Javascript. It is the primary language of Angular applications. Typescript and Angular have a wide range that can be used for configuring type-checking features and generating outputs.
