angularjsHow do AngularJS and React differ in terms of usage and features?
AngularJS and React are two popular front-end JavaScript frameworks. Although they share some similarities, they have some key differences in terms of usage and features.
Usage AngularJS is a full-featured framework, which means that it provides a complete set of tools for developing a web application. React, on the other hand, is a library, which means it only provides the view layer of a web application.
Features
-
Data Binding: AngularJS uses two-way data binding, which means that when a model is changed, the view is updated automatically and vice versa. React, however, uses one-way data binding, which means that the view is updated only when the state of the component is changed.
-
DOM Manipulation: AngularJS uses a real DOM (Document Object Model) which means it can update the DOM directly when the model changes. React, however, uses a virtual DOM, which means it creates a copy of the DOM and makes the changes to the copy first.
-
Routing: AngularJS provides a built-in router module which can be used to handle navigation between different views in the application. React, on the other hand, does not provide a built-in router and it needs to be integrated with a third-party library.
Example code
// AngularJS
var app = angular.module('myApp', ['ngRoute']);
app.config(function($routeProvider) {
$routeProvider
.when('/', {
templateUrl: 'views/home.html',
controller: 'HomeController'
})
.when('/about', {
templateUrl: 'views/about.html',
controller: 'AboutController'
})
.otherwise({
redirectTo: '/'
});
});
// React
import { BrowserRouter as Router, Route } from 'react-router-dom';
ReactDOM.render(
<Router>
<div>
<Route exact path="/" component={Home} />
<Route path="/about" component={About} />
</div>
</Router>,
document.getElementById('root')
);
