To me this is mostly just a rant about why Angular is terrible. And I agree, it's absolutely terrible. Frustratingly overwrought (I dare you to output a URL in a template, go on, I dare you) and built on top of some unfortunate ideas like dirty-checking and all this service factory madness.
Fortunately, it's far from being dominant in front-end dev.
- chris_wot 11y agoHow would you build a templating framework in JavaScript?
- draw_down 11y agoI'm a big fan of Ractive, check it out. Ractive.org
- chris_wot 11y agoTakes me to a page under construction then redirects me to a blank page. Edit: I think you meant ractivejs.org
- Zecc 11y agoI wish we would stop beating around the bush and just add templating to HTML already; not as the current ‛template‛ element proposal, which still looks like DOM manipulation, but actual "expressions inside template attributes and content + data context set in code" like every templating library is doing. And don't forget conditionals and repeaters while you're at it.
- alexwebb2 11y agoIndeed. The JS community flirted with the idea of a monolithic do-everything framework for a bit longer than I expected, but thank god the madness has passed.
- raquo 11y agoLooking at job postings, angular does seem to br dominant, unfortunately.
