Backend dev here. I tried to create a simple Angular app. I got into some kind of dependency hell on something simple. Going from Angular 7 to 8 broke some junk? Then trying to get Angular Bootstrap to work was hellish as well, especially when some kind of polyfills junk screwed up for IE.
Ended up just linking to it directly to the jquery and bootstrap CDN...
It's been a long time since I did any kind of major front end work. I think it will stay that way. I don't do enough work with it long enough to really "get it" and retain it.
- PunchTornado 7y agogood, just leave the complex angular stuff for the frontend dev, the real engineers.
- vcanales 7y agoWell, choosing the right tool for the job is part of being any kind of developer. If you could solve the problem with no framework/lib/state manager, why go that way? The fact that those tools exist doesn't mean you _have_ to use them.
- icholy 7y agoThe problem is that there are 100 different tools and they're all hot garbage.
- djstein 7y agosorry you felt that way.unfortunately you dealt with the shit-show that is Angular + TypeScript, which is not beginner friendly AT ALL. I would ask you try using create-react-app, https://facebook.github.io/create-react-app/ https://facebook.github.io/create-react-app/, and drop jQuery. JS is really awesome now and everything that was "in" jQuery can be achieved through standard library.
