React VS Angular

let take a brief introduction of Angular, also called AngularJS.

Angular is an open-source JavaScript framework. Its supports single-page application and managed by Google. It is used to develop a dynamic web application. It also helps to make HTML dynamic built-in attributes. It is based on both HTML and JavaScript. It was developed in 2009 by Misko Hevery and Adam Abrons. It helps us to use HTML as a template language that expresses your component clearly in the application.

Some of the key points that React are different from Angular:

• Written in: React is written in JavaScript whereas Angular is written in MS TypeScript, which is a superset of ES6.

• Architecture: Architecture of React is simple as it follows the MVC (Model View Control). It includes navigation and has a certain library such as Redux and Flux. On Other hand, Architecture of Angular is bit complex compare to React as it follows the MVM (Model View Model). It includes a sort of tools and has features of navigation, routing etc.

• Data Binding: In React, it uses one-way binding, which is also known as uni-directional data flow. It means that any change you make to the model affects the view part of the application. Due to its nature, it helps to control the complexity and easier to debug the components of a large application. In Angular, it uses two-way binding, which is known as Bi-directional data flow. It means that any changes you make to the model affect the view part or vice-versa which means the result of change may affect both view and model.

• Performance: React create its Virtual DOM where every component are attached so that it brings comfort to navigate and data is displayed without refreshing the page. It is fast and fluid. It is purely based on JavaScript. On the Other Hand, Angular offers the advantage of reducing the loading speed of pages i.e. low the performance of complex and Dynamic Application.

• Learning Curve: React is easy to learn to but difficult comes when an augmented with Redux whereas Angular is not for the beginner and not easy to learn as it requires a lot of training on it.

• Directives and templates: React doesn’t offer any division into its directives and templates. As an event occurs react automatically choose to reinterpret all templates and UI every time. Whereas, Angular has its directives on DOM and also you can create as well.

• Dependency Injection: Dependency Injection is a software that creates a pattern which makes components reuseable, testable and Maintainable. In React, it doesn’t use the concept but on the other hand, Angular uses the system as it automatically finds the objects with their parameters.

• Testing and Debugging: React requires a set of tools to perform different types of testing based on work we are doing whereas Angular use only one tool for testing and debugging both which is Jasmine.

• Language Preference: Language preference of React is JavaScript whereas Angular has TypeScript.

• Restriction: Without any performance penalty, React give the right to choose. On the other hand, Angular is a very sensitive framework so it restricts you from the large application.

• Popularity and Growth: There are some facts and figures based on their popularity and growth of React and Angular. There are some Statistics:

According to GitHub, Angular has 40,963 stars and 732 contributors as we can say over 12 years Angular gaining 35 stars/day whereas React has 111,927 stars and 1,242 contributors as we can see over 12 years it gains 95 stars/day.

According to npmtrends.com reports, Both React and Angular growing at awesome speed but Currently React has 10,000 more downloads than Angular.

According to Google Trends, over 2 years React growth rate trajectory much faster than Angular. But we can say according to all these statistics, both React and Angular seems going great and the future is bright for them.
