It uses optionally strongly typed TypeScript, which makes it easy to discover functionality that tools like WebStore, Visual Studio, and Visual Studio Code can expose due to the structured nature of the code This makes short work of cranking out pages and forms quickly and efficiently. Even though initial setup can be tedious, once you're ready to create components, add routes, build your templates, and build the meat of your application, Angular is surprisingly easy, logical, and efficient to work with.Īngular is more of a platform than a framework in that it provides most of what you need to build a Web Application.Īngular's component model maps components and templates together in an easily understandable manner. This stuff makes much more sense once you understand how the more commonly used features of Angular work. My advice is: Don't get bogged down in those details as you start out. Angular has a lot of moving parts to bootstrap an application and as a new user, it can be quite overwhelming. The process of setting up a new project continues to be tedious even though the tooling has improved. I've built a ton of Angular 1 applications and getting started with Angular 2 was tough, mainly due to the incomplete tooling that initially made it hard to get a project set up. Angular 2 was a major breaking change from Angular 1 and although major version releases will bring breaking changes, they are going to be much less drastic than the v1 to v2 upgrade. There is no version 3 due to issues with sub-components. The next forthcoming version of Angular will be version 4, which might be out by the time this article is released. It revs on a regular schedule with major releases every half a year or so. First there was Angular 1, then there was Angular2, and now there's just Angular because the Angular team has decided that versions rev too frequently to keep up the numbering scheme in the name. Although it's a heavy framework, you also get a ton of well-integrated functionality for all that weight.Īngular recently dropped the 2.0 moniker and the product is now just the artist formerly known as Angular - again. The key point about Angular is that it's really more of a platform than a framework in that it provides just about everything you need to build Web applications without having to add a bunch of additional tools. Rather, Angular is meant for full-scale client-side application development of applications that consist of many pages and components that need to interact with each other. Angular is a heavy front-end framework, so it's not really a tool you want to “just drop into” a webpage for some add-on functionality. It's far-and-away the most popular client-side JavaScript framework today and is integrated into major sites as well as a host of third-party frameworks, such as Ionic, Telerik's Web/Mobile platform and many more. It's now been out for about a half a year, and has been widely adopted. The client-side front end in the AlbumViewer application uses Angular 2. The concepts are similar but the execution is very different. The step-by-step code described in this article is somewhat simplified to cover the core concepts and keep it short enough to present here.Īngular 2 is a drastic departure from Angular 1.

AlbumViewer Github Repository: If you want to follow along with this article, make sure to first clone or copy the GitHub repo and take a look at the Readme.md for installation instructions and how to get the ASP.NET Core server-side application running.To get an idea of what I'm talking about, you can check out the live AlbumViewer application and the source code on GitHub: In my next article, I'll delve into more detail and the little things you need to deal with beyond the basics. This article is meant as a getting-started guide that provides all the pieces you need to create your first Angular application.
In this article, I start from scratch with Angular project creation, move on to the build process, and then creating your first Angular pages that load content from your Web and let you edit that data. In this article, I want to dive into the client side and discuss how you can create an AngularJS application to interface with your Web API.
In that article, I focused entirely on the server side. In my last article (CODE Magazine Jan/Feb 2017), I covered creating a full-featured ASP.NET Core API back end for an AlbumViewer sample application.
