Before I do a React Vs Angular article; I would like to preface one thing: this is not your run of the mill comparison. Sure it’s easy to compare vue vs react and state how one has a data binding method and the other doesn’t. This is also not an angular vs react vs vue article either. This is an easy comparison considering Angular was first and Vue was based off of Angular.

What I would like to say is that Angular is the best frontend framework. Sure React may be considered the most popular frontend framework and it’s definitely one of the top front end frameworks. However here are some of the benefits of Angular.

First off: Angular is compatible with so many great libraries. This includes (but is not limited to): angular material; primeng and ngx bootstrap (including angular bootstrap). Some other great modules that can be used with Angular include: angular/fire and the built in http module.

However I am going to veer back to Angular vs React for now. React has been one been one of the top frontend frameworks for year now: first created in 2011. It has some great features like react native for ios and android as well as react router for routing the frontend of your application. It even has it’s own built in http module with fetch.

However Angular 2+ has all of the features React has. It has it’s own built in http module with the Angular http module. It has it’s own router with the angular routing component. Also it’s compatible with such cli’s as cordova and ionic so one can make Ios and Android applications with Angular.

So why is Angular better than React? One reason: Data-Binding Arrays.

If one was to do data-binding with react they would have to do an order list as such:

{ someArray.map(function(arrayItem) {

}

However in Angular this is done very simply.

As you can see data binding in Angular is much better than React. Given React is a great framework for creating User Interfaces; Angular still has it beat with the ease of data-binding.
