The primary purpose of Angular is to develop single-page applications and provide a standard structure for developers to work with. For front-end web development, Angular can address almost all the issues developers face when using JavaScript.

Angular is used for a wide range of web as well as mobile applications and is exceptionally efficient for some particular software solutions.

Angular is Used to Create Apps for;

  1. Single-page applications (SPAs) are dynamic applications, meaning that when a user navigates the app, the page does not reload. The data is fed in or received by the user, but the app does not supply the page from the server by the input-output action of the user or server.
  2. Angular progressive web applications (PWAs) allow web technologies to run mobile apps on online and offline platforms. PWAs work in browsers but behave like native apps. PWAs can be used directly from the browser and must not be downloaded from Google play or the app store.
  3. Angular is used widely to create large-scale systems catering to large enterprises or organizations' needs rather than a specific user. Such applications can help companies manage workflow and particular operations, like CRMs, ERP systems, payment processing platforms, email marketing, content management, etc.

A website or an application's user interface is the first thing a user sees upon opening a website or app. This interface determines whether a user will continue using the website or the app and will visit the website or open the app again. Front-end development involves creating a graphical user interface using HTML, CSS & Javascript for a website or any application directly interacting with the user.

An estimated 30.7% of software engineers apply AngularJS in their day-to-day development process, as per a survey conducted by stackoverflow in 2019.

Why Angular is the Top Choice Amongst Developers for Front-End Development

  • Impressive functionalities - AngularJS has preconfigured environments with internal libraries that allow the development of basic features without integrating third-party apps. Developers can use this default library to build web designs and perform tests securely and quantitatively.
  • TypeScript coding - Typescript, an advanced version of JavaScript, allows productive tools such as JavaScript, IDE's, and static checking that helps in coding effortlessly and improves productivity. The latest version of TypeScript can help reduce build time and improve navigation, code consistency & other refactoring services. It can quickly identify and eliminate common errors and debug larger codebase sets, making developers opt for it, especially for large-scale projects.
  • Reusable codes - By leveraging the features of AngularJS, developers can access a well-documented, reusable application structure that offers code flexibility, unique libraries for various use cases and consistency.
  • Angular CLI allows developers to initiate projects, run test scripts, add multiple features and re-use them as needed making the Angular development community self-contained, and reducing dependency.
  • Productivity - Framework development takes up a lot of time in identifying the function, utility or component that can be edited and utilized to develop a new code structure. Angular code is integrated with inbuilt TypeScript for reusable coding along with other IDE's like VS Code, WebStorm that can identify errors at an early stage and incrementally debug and highlight errors, helping reduce development time and costs.
  • Maintenance - A critical aspect for developers is maintaining the code of applications. Angular makes it easy to keep the code. Its update command helps update and the digest cycle checks the app data. Changes in the data model are detected by Angular and updated in real-time.
  • Angular material - Angular offers a pre-defined suite of tested UI components and modules developed using Google's design principles. These features can be used across multiple browsers and platforms. It is easy for the Angular community to modify modules, add new components helping maximize performance with minimal effort.
  • Affordable unit testing - In Angular, the application part of each module can be tested independently. Angular follows the "one-file-one-module" principle, which allows testing modules without figuring out which module to load next.
  • Data binding - Its a process that users to manipulate web page elements through a web browser. It does not require complex programming or scripting and uses dynamic HTML. Web pages that include interactive components like calculators, tutorials, games etc use data binding. Data binding enables the better incremental display of web pages containing a large volume of data.

Angular uses a two-way binding and the model state reflects changes made in corresponding UI elements. Because it uses a two-way binding, changes in the UI state are reflected in the model state.

In conclusion, Angular is a robust front-end development framework offering many benefits for web developers. Angular's features improve productivity and reduce code time and costs while making the development process more efficient. Angular is also compatible with other popular frameworks and is easy to maintain. An Angular web development services company with extensive experience can help with front-end development.
