AngularJS is a full-fledged JavaScript framework. It has made the life of JavaScript developers very easy. It provides some amazing features which were not present in any of the single JS framework ever. Just a few points of view of why people may like it.
- It's a Google product which inspires trust just by itself.
- It's designed in such a way that enforces a certain coding style that developers from other languages like Java feel at home, even by programming in such a different language.
- It allows building HUGE applications and still has everything organized without much effort.
- One of its main goals is to allow modularizing and extracting components without hassle.
- The previous point allows much easier testing, and developers love tests!!
- You can start building actual apps even if you only know about 1% of it, other frameworks require you to know quite a bit before you can build anything at all.
- Even if you are experienced at it you still learn something new about it quite frequently.
- Two way data binding (Complete abstraction over DOM API). No more JQuery and getElementBy….. .
- Development of SPA (Inbuilt support for routing)
- Dependency Injection. Out of box support for managing the dependencies of the application.
- Let’s you write testable code. (My favorite one)
- Let’s you create reusable components. Write once use anywhere.
- There are so many components already available(thanks to the community) You can just plug them in your code, it saves your time a lot.
