Angular 2 vs Ember.js: What are the differences?

  1. Architecture: Angular 2 follows the component-based architecture where every element on the web page is considered a component, making it more organized and easier to maintain. On the other hand, Ember.js follows the Convention over Configuration (CoC) approach where developers need to follow specific conventions to build the application, making it less flexible but faster to set up.

  2. Learning Curve: Angular 2 has a steeper learning curve compared to Ember.js due to its complex syntax and concepts such as RxJS and TypeScript. Ember.js, on the other hand, is known for its simplicity and ease of learning, making it a better choice for beginners or those looking for quick prototyping.

  3. Community Support: Angular 2 has a larger community and a vast ecosystem of libraries and tools, providing better support for developers facing issues during development. Ember.js, while having a smaller community, has dedicated contributors who ensure continuous improvement and updates to the framework.

  4. Flexibility: Angular 2 offers more flexibility in terms of customization and extensibility, allowing developers to fine-tune the application according to their requirements. Ember.js, although less flexible compared to Angular 2, provides a more opinionated structure that can speed up development by reducing decision-making processes.

  5. Data Binding: Angular 2 uses two-way data binding by default, meaning changes in the model are automatically reflected in the view and vice versa. Ember.js, on the other hand, uses one-way data binding by default, making it easier to trace data flow but might require more effort in updating the view when the model changes.

  6. Performance: Angular 2 is known for its better performance in handling complex and dynamic web applications, thanks to its advanced features like Ahead-of-Time (AOT) compilation. Ember.js, while efficient in rendering templates and handling data, can sometimes struggle with performance when dealing with large-scale projects.

In Summary, Angular 2 and Ember.js differ in architecture, learning curve, community support, flexibility, data binding, and performance, making each suitable for different development needs.

I was first sceptical about using Angular over AngularJS. That's because AngularJS was so easy to integrate in existing websites. But building apps from scratch with Angular is so much easier. Of course, you have to build and boilerplate them first, but after that - you save a ton of time. Also it's very cozy to write code in TypeScript.

It is a complete waste of time and life to learn a different framework to solve the same problem (Both AngularJS and Angular build A+ UI's, but both require a lot of time to learn). It's dumb to spend 200 hours learning AngularJS, then 200 hours learning Angular when you could spend 200 hours learning AngularJS and 200 hours learning how to solve a different problem (like AI/ML, Data Science, AR/VR, Digital Marketing, etc.)

When deciding on a front end framework to build my bitcoin faucet project, I knew I needed something battle hardened, dependedable, but also feature filled and ready to go out of the box.

While I've written some smaller apps with ng2+, I've never gone full tilt with it so I knew there were still some things to learn, and most importantly: how to do them properly, such as proper component architecture and breaking old habbits from ng1.

I didn't opt for React in this case, simply due to the need to stack more and more things on top of it to do what I'd need it to do. I wanted a framework that was going to take over routing and execution of complex UI controls, and keep items outside of a component's scope updated and react to events. This framework needed a comprehensive event emission system, data acquisition and handling, bi-directional data binding, state, and a series of things that you'd need to install separately for React to match up to what's already in the box with Angular.

I opted to stick to Angular instead of Vue for the fact that Angular also already has it's entire build system ready to go and comprehensivly built to deliver the tiniest version of it's deliverable. I was hosting this thing in a google cloud instance, so I needed to make sure the app stayed as small as possible, and could automatically trim out the cruft. This is where Angular's built in Tree Shaking took precedence for me.

Vue is more than capable of handling everything I'd need, and it was something I took serious considerion of. For instance, Vue poweres Cointiply, another bitcoin faucet application that's highly reactive and high componentized just like I wanted.

But I'd still need to learn Vue, I'd still need to configure it's build system, and I still wanted to use SCSS and TypeScript.

So Angular it was. ng8 is a great platform for building very complex user interfaces, and has many of the problems you'd inevitably face integrating a user interface to an application already figured out, and complete with a best practice recommendation.

React and Vue, given enough time and energy, are super capable platforms. No one can deny that. Angular's "A-Z Batteries Included" approach to the whole development process is what made it especially enticing this time.

What is Angular?

It is a TypeScript-based open-source web application framework. It is a development platform for building mobile and desktop web applications.

What is Ember.js?

A JavaScript framework that does all of the heavy lifting that you'd normally have to do by hand. There are tasks that are common to every web app; It does those things for you, so you can focus on building killer features and UI.

What are some alternatives to Angular and Ember.js?
React
Lots of people use React as the V in MVC. Since React makes no assumptions about the rest of your technology stack, it's easy to try it out on a small feature in an existing project.
Polymer
Polymer is a new type of library for the web, designed to leverage the existing browser infrastructure to provide the encapsulation and extendability currently only available in JS libraries. Polymer is based on a set of future technologies, including Shadow DOM, Custom Elements and Model Driven Views. Currently these technologies are implemented as polyfills or shims, but as browsers adopt these features natively, the platform code that drives Polymer evacipates, leaving only the value-adds.
Aurelia
Aurelia is a next generation JavaScript client framework that leverages simple conventions to empower your creativity.
Vue.js
It is a library for building interactive web interfaces. It provides data-reactive components with a simple and flexible API.
Meteor
A Meteor application is a mix of JavaScript that runs inside a client web browser, JavaScript that runs on the Meteor server inside a Node.js container, and all the supporting HTML fragments, CSS rules, and static assets.
