Overview Of AngularJS: Part 1

AngularJS

AngularJS is structural client side open-source JavaScript Framework developed by Google.

AngularJS help us to create single page (one page) application with the help of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript on the client side.

As we know that AngularJS follow MVW* pattern and it allow to build well-structured testable & maintainable front end application.

Note: W* means "whatever in" place of w we use C (controller) or VM (view model)

Why we are use AngularJS

1. As we know that AngularJS based on MVC pattern help us to organize our web apps or web application properly.
   
   
2. It helps to make responsive & well organized web application that is more expensive & readable.
   
   
3. It follows two way data binding. Two way data binding help us any changes in model will be update view & vice-versa without any manipulation on DOM or events.
   
   
4. AngularJS support create your own directive that make reusable component to be used according to your requirement. It is also abstract DOM manipulation logic.
   
   
5. It supports services & dependency injection which can easily inject in our controller & provide some utility code as per our requirement.

Tips: NG is AngularJS core module which is loaded default whenever AngularJS started. NG module provided some essential component for AngularJS app as it is Directive, Services/Factory, Filter & testing components.

Advantages of AngularJS

1. AngularJS have code reusability that allow us to write code & reuse required as Custom directive.
   
   
2. AngularJS support powerful data binding it is two way data binding with the help of HTML & scope.
   
   
3. AngularJS is easily customizable as per our requirement. Here we can create own custom components like directive & services.
   
   
4. AngularJS has good support over internet & time interval it has new changes available for developers. It also supports IE, Opera, Safari, and Chrome.
   
   
5. AngularJS has inbuilt form validation & template with all old plain html.
   
   
6. AngularJS has easily testable Unit test doesn't need to load all the app, just loading that specific module is enough to start unit testing.

How AngularJS Different With Other JS

1. AngularJS directly worked in the DOM.
2. AngularJS used pojo which called plain old JavaScript objects.

AngularJS Feature

• Module: It is like a container for different components.
  
  
• Directive: It is combination of AngularJS template markups and supporting java script code.
  
  
• Template: It is a combination of html, directive, filters & attribute.
  
  
• Scope: It is java script object that refers to the application module.
  
  
• Expression: It is much like JavaScript expression. It use {{Expression}} to show data in html.
  
  
• Data binding: Data binding is synchronized data between model & view.
  
  
• MVC Pattern: MVC pattern also called model view controller.
  
  
• Validation: AngularJS provides you built in validation directive to validate from client side.
  
  
• Filters: It is used for format data before display users.
  
  
• Services: It calls reusable business logic.
  
  
• Routing: It helps you to divide your app in multiple views and bind different view to controllers.
  
  
• Dependency Injection: It is software design pattern that deals with how component get hold of their dependencies.
  
  
• Injector: Container of dependency injection.
  
  
• Testing: Unit test doesn't need to load all the app, just loading that specific module is enough to start unit testing.
