What is REACT ?

    So basically React is a Open source, Reusable, Component based Front-end Javascript Library for Creating Fast and Dynamic user interfaces and also SPAs which is Single page applications .

It is Developed in 2013 by Jorden walke , who is a Software engineer at Facebook .

As I told you that is it Javascript library so you should have the knowledge of javascript before you learn React.

If you don’t know that what single page application is like ?then I tell you .

Website has so many pages . like Home page , download page ,contact page etc. Every page has so many components like header, navigation bar , sidebar , footer and content .

As you know that when we move between pages , only content changes . Header ,footer, navigation bar and other components remains the same.

Normally, In websites if we go to one to another page our website refreshes and page’s whole data loads every time we move between pages. It takes time and it’s not so fast.

you now that content is different right ? so how amazing will it be ? if page doesn’t refresh every time I mean user is on the same page and only the content’s component changes .  

So here is the SPA…

In single page application the Header, Footer, Navigation bar and other component remains at the page they don’t change every time . Only the content changes . 

so with React you can create single page apps which is definitely Fast and Dynamic.

Now Move on To Angular . so…

What is ANGULAR ?

    Angular is component based Open source front-end Javascript Framework .

It is developed in 2010 by Google developers Misko hevery and Adom arbens .

as I told that is a Javascript Framework so you should have knowlendge of javascript and it uses HTML Syntaxes so also you should have familiar with HTML and CSS.

It is designed for building single page applications for Web , Desktop and Mobile platforms.

Now let’s Know the differences between React and Angular …

What are the Differences between React and Angular ?

1. Language :

    React uses Javascript language whereas Angular uses Typescript Language.  

  so if you don’t know about the Typescript language then I’ll tell you that It is  a Superset of Javascript language . it’s called a superset of javascript because it is a compiling language which compiles plain
JavaScript .It is error free and fast writing language.

If you know javascript then it is so simple for you to learn it. it depends on you that how much time you give in learning it. it may take 15 to 20 days or even 30days.

2. DOM :

    Dom stands for Document object model.

React Uses Virtual Dom while Angular uses Real Dom.

Virtual Dom is I can say light weight and easy to manage whereas Real Dom is Quite heavy and difficult to handle .

3. Data Binding :

    React Uses One way data binding but in other hand Angular is based on two way data Binding .

In react if we make changes in model the UI element is updated but we can’t update model from UI element.

Two way data binding in Angular has this capability . If we change the Model statement then UI element changes and if we update UI Element then also the model statement changes . 

so two way data binding seems to be easier . but in large projects One way data binding does the better job because of it’s Stability and Easy Debugging.

4. Performance :

    React is lighter and faster as compared to Angular. React uses Virtual Dom so it’s performance is little higher because Angular’s real Dom is  little slower .

That’s the reason why React loads faster than angular on the same size project. 

React is better for Small projects but if you wanna build a big project than Angular do the better job here Because angular has  numerous of Factores and components for Big projects.

5. Maintenance :

    React is Maintained by Facebook whereas Angular is controlled by Google.

6. Learning Curve :

    When you gonna start learning a New Technology , it is Important for you to know that what is the Learning curve of it and how much time or how many days It takes to learn it . 

So I will tell you this in the article . 

React is Smaller in Learning curve .It is easy to learn. It is plain javascipt so you don’t need to learn any logical structure. If you know javascript then it is like a Cup of tea for you.

Normally you can learn it in 15 to 20 days.

now move on to Angular. 

Angular is a comparatively Bigger in learning Curve. It has so many functions and complex things . and we can’t start learning it only with Javascript .As I mentioned before we need to have also the knowledge of Typescript because it is Written in Typescript . Not in Plain Javascript. 

Typescript is not so hard it can be learnt in 10 to 15 days according to your capasity.

Angular is a little complex technology so it takes around 2 to 3 months to learn it Properly.

7. Market Trend :

    If we talk about the Market trend then Google trends say here that Both of these Trends are High. In India Angular’s Trend is slightly higher than the React. 

 

 But if we see it in Worldwide than React hits the jackpot here .Worldwide It’s Trend is high as compared to angular. 

Angular has over 10 million downloads in a month on NPM .

On NPM React has over 45million downloads.

8. Apps uses these Technologies :

    So there are so many Web apps and mobile apps which uses these 2 technologies .

First we talk about apps which are the apps based on React. So here i am mentioning some apps .that are Facebook ,Airbnb , Dropbox, Instagram , Whatsapp and Netflix .

Now let’s know what are apps that uses Angular  Youtube , Paypal , Walmart , Gmail , Nike , Forbs , Sony ,Upwork , HBO .

9. Community support :

If we talk about the community support than react has a Huge community on Github . It got 166k stars and 1541 contributors.

On the other hand Angular has 72k stars and 1378 contributors on Github .It also has Good community support by Google.

So we can say that React and Angular both has the Good Community support.

Similarities between React and Angular : 

However They are different technologies but still these have similarities. I have mentioned some of them down below…

1.  React and Angular Both have Component based Architecture.

2. Both of them can be used for creating Single page applications

3.  Both are Open-Source so we not need to spent any money in learning. 

4. React and Angular both use MIT License. MIT license is popular for placing limited resrictions on software Reuse and distribution.

now let’s know that …

How should you Learn :

React and Angular both technologies are so good in Them self . They have their own way for Building Web apps and Spa’s.

If you wanna Learn Both of them then My suggestion is that You should start learning with React . Because React is simple to learn and has moderate curve of learning . so after finished React you can start learning typescript language and after that You can Learn Angular .This way would be Easy for you to understand and learn both technologies with ease and Perfection.

If you Directly start learning Angular then it would be quite difficult because Angular has many complex functions so this way would be little hard to learn.

So in this video we learn about React and Angular.
