Web front end - react or angular?
Which one do you prefer and why?
Ember
Love the modularity of React
Angular is modular as well. What is special about react?
React didn’t up and change its structure like angular did. Such a nightmare dealing with legacy angular code.
React. Why? Because work at FB so I forced to use it
Marko. Because similar.
Vue or React. Angular sucks (opinion) and is tech debt at most companies still using it (fact)
Please explain more. What sucks about angular?
Angular uses its own specific terminology and syntax. I found it easy to move between Vue and React since the two have similar lifecycle methods. Angular has also introduced huge breaking changes in releases across versions which is what drove a lot of companies to move away from it.
If you know how to code the right way you can just go vanilla. That said if you want to setup a small app vue and jquery work. You can also embed vue in legacy jsp apps. Angular 1.x has its own lifecycle which makes it hard to use anything else don’t know much about angular 5 but java guys find it easy to use. I’ve got a basic understanding of react but I take vue over react because of the similarities vue 2 has with angular 1.x and also I like my templates as html files and not jsx ones. Makes it a tad bit difficult to read if not used to.
React, safer with it’s escaping, doesn’t interfere with csp, no weird directives/attributes added to the dom, composable.
The breaking changes between Angular 1,2,4 and now 5 is frustrating. Also unit testing is tough unless your code is written a certain way.
That last sentence is true, regardless of framework, language, etc. Only testable code is testable
None. Keep it simple: vanilla html, css, limited Javascript. Let’s make the web usable again!
Good luck doing that at scale.
View as a function of data. React makes it easy.
