Launched in 2009, the open source JavaScript framework AngularJS has been hugely popular among front-end developers ever since. Its principal function is to simplify and speed up the development of dynamic Single Page Applications (SPAs). To achieve that goal, AngularJS creators gave it numerous cutting-edge features, the most notable of which we have described below.
MVC Pattern
AngularJS uses the MVC pattern that divides an application structure into three separate layers: view, logic, and data. And although AngularJS is not the only framework that implements that pattern, it makes the developer’s work much easier. They simply give AngularJS the MVC chunks, and it manages their work and interaction among them on its own.
Traditional data models contain accessors and mutators, which are sometimes not required. In contrast, AngularJS data models are POJOs, which stands for ‘plain old JavaScript objects’. They serve as short-lived storage containers for adding and retrieving data. However, those objects are tightly bound with a view and controller. So, behind the scenes, AngularJS monitors any changes in an object’s properties and automatically makes the view reflect them.
Thanks to the previous two features, AngularJS developers may write considerably less code. First, they are not responsible for the interaction among the MVC components. Second, the developer creates the view using compact HTML. No need for getters and setters means there are fewer keystrokes for data models, too.
