State of Angular Javascript Framework in 2021: The Reasons To Choose Angular For Your Next Project

State of Angular Javascript
Framework in 2021
The reasons to choose Angular for your next project.
The JavaScript environment is full of libraries and frameworks, but with a

multitude of options comes plenty of confusion. Finding the right
technology is essential for saving weeks of production time and helps to
speed up deployment, while the wrong tech can, in the long run, leave a
project in shambles.
It has been almost a decade since Angular became one of the most
influential and popular JavaScript frameworks, with a loyal fanbase and for
a good reason: it is a full-featured and powerful tool. But, is it still worth
opting for Angular in 2021?
In this article, we will take a look at just some of the reasons to choose
Angular for your next project and how it will impact your business.
Made by Google, powered by Google

First of all, the fact that the framework was created by Google is for many
developers a key benefit of this technology. The tech giant from California
uses Angular internally for many of its applications and ensures that before
any public release, the latest version has been used first-hand within the
company. In addition, Google announced 18 months of long-term support
(LTS) for all major Angular releases. Getting LTS basically means that any
bugs related to browser incompatibility or security will be fixed during that
period. The LTS for the newest version (Angular 11) will end in May 2022.
As you can see, the technology has been with us for a while now and it looks
like it’s here to stay. As with all code, it could eventually be replaced by
something newer, but until then, Google will keep supporting Angular.
All you need is…
Getting started with Angular is simple. The default setup provides all the
tools and components to install the application straight away. Everything
you need is included in the official package and it is not necessary to install
third-party libraries. But, if you want more, there is still an option. The
framework is easy to integrate even with solutions from the React world, for
example with Ngrx.
Documentation
Learning a new framework and identifying the right sources can be
difficult. Angular is wildly popular for its exhaustive documentation, where
developers can find all the necessary information. Since the technology has
been around for a while, many useful answers on exact code-related
questions can also be found on Stack Overflow.
Easy testing
Testing is one of the most important topics in software development. Badly

written code can lead to poorly functioning programs or financial losses.
Writing a good test will help detect issues as soon as they arise and prevent
problems. Angular is not just a library. It is both a sophisticated framework
and a complete platform. The technology offers everything from routing
through templates, to testing utilities in its package. Because tests are
included in Angular by default when you create a project, there is no excuse
for not testing.
First impression counts
The visual side of a web application is essential. We only need a few seconds
to form a first impression about a person and websites are no different.
Angular helps create visually powerful applications by using the pre-built
(predefined) UI components and modules, which follow Google’s Material
Design principles. For example, to build the login page, we can use the
various Material Design components, which contain the necessary basic
code and are easy to generate using Angular CLI. Because all the
components have predefined styles, we can build a great visual product
faster. Still not sure? Angular Material documentation provides more
examples.
Write once, run anywhere
Angular can be used to build web applications, native mobile apps or

desktop applications for Mac, Windows, and Linux. You could say “So can
React or Flutter”. The biggest difference however, is what you get in the
base package. In contrast to React (which is, by Facebook’s own definition,
a JavaScript library for building user interfaces), Angular is an all-in-one
framework, and it has all the key built-in features.
SPAs
A more traditional approach to app development requires a page reload

each time a user interacts with the website. All projects created with
Angular are single-page applications (SPA) that load just part of the page
and dynamically update it during use. What are the benefits of using SPAs?
A faster site with better user experience. The website updates dynamically,
so users don’t have to wait for the page to refresh. If you want to see a SPA
in action, check out our self-booking tool or Netflix. The navigation within
Netflix is performed without refreshing the entire page — a clear benefit of
SPA architecture.

Don’t build pages, build modules
In Angular, everything is organized in modules. Whether you want it or not,

angular apps are modular. The technology has its own modular system,
NgModules. Using it, developers divide code into small, separate portions.
There is only one suggested/optimal way to create modules, components or
services, that guarantees a high consistency of code. Angular keeps each
developer working in the same pattern. Moreover, no one has to think about
components, which saves time and reduces production costs.
Angular Universal
Displaying a site quickly is crucial for positive user experience and SEO.
Front-end performance, downloading HTML, CSS and JavaScript files for a
browser page render significantly affects page speed. Angular provides
utilities, such as Angular Universal, to deliver a rendered view faster.
Is the Google-developed framework still worthy in 2021? Yes. Angular is an
up-to-date and efficient platform to build modern products. Since it is
maintained and supported by Google, together with a huge community, the
future of this technology looks bright. However, there is no framework
which suits every project and the final decision should be always influenced
by the type of the application and its complexity. That said, the Angular
ecosystem is immense and continues to have a lot to offer. The core team
releases two versions a year, at a six-month interval, and since the latest one
was published in November 2020, we can still stay excited for what is yet to
come.
