I heard angular is a framework and react is lib.
angular 2 or react.
Coming from nodejs, python, php, jquery experience which should I learn?
Because React doesn't care about how you manage your state, you can use Redux or other solutions. Not because they are cool , but because it fits your needs.
That's the key part you ignored in your response.
Sure it's not like the 10x dev way to do it, but I do it for simple apps all the time.
Conceptually, React and Angular are quite close. In both you build an app with components nested in a three structure. Angular let's you do two-way binding if you want — convenient, but makes state changes less explicit.
React is closer to bare bones JS and HTML. Templating in HTML only consists of a simple way to embed JS code and a few reserved keywords. In Angular, templating is much more elaborate, and therefore more complex and takes a longer time to learn.
React — both by design and community — favours FP priciples, while Angular is mor OOP oriented, though neither is strictly one or the other.
Personally I like both. React for its simplicity, Angular for its all-batteries-included approach and support for static typing as default.
In general, I'd say that the more comfortable you are with current FEAD practices and toolchains, the more power you'll get out of a React-based architecture. The more you want something that "just works" and has already made many architectural decisions for you, give ng2 a shot.
1) Dependency injection
2) Direct support for using observables and promises in templates
However, I cannot think of anything major in the reverse direction.
There is also the fact that it is designed to be used with Typescript from the get-go, which can be a plus if type safety is your thing.
React decouple data and view. You can achieve similar behaviour but using flux/redux to publish/subscribe.
1. Open terminal
2.
> npm install -g angular-cli
> ng new app
> ng serve
4. Use the cli tool to generate components/pipes/services/etc., build, test, develop
5. Profit.
Find a more blissful and joyful experience than this in react land?
git clone https://github.com/Day8/re-frame-template
lein new re-frame <project-name>
lein figwheel
Also, one thing that is not enjoyable/straightforward with(angular-cli) is having to utilize System.js in order to include 3rd party libraries in your app.
I like to think of Vue as React with sensible conventions. That said, both are terrific and solve UI problems very elegantly.
This is no surprise, wordpress is extremely popular these days for all users, a huge angular2 client framework might be an overkill for many of its users. Drupal on the other hand is doing the more complicated websites, and its "ordinary" user base is shrinking, so angular2 might attract enterprise users.
Laravel is arguably the most popular PHP framework today, choosing vuejs as its client framework gave vuejs a strong boost for sure.
As for Vue vs Riot, it's subjective, but I'm personally partial to Riot due to its simplicity (albeit with a smaller feature list) and focus on components without being opinionated at all (not even regarding the toolchain).
