Overview
Angular is a 'batteries-included' framework that provides everything needed to build complex applications, including routing, form management, and HTTP client services. It uses a structured, opinionated approach that is ideal for large teams and enterprise projects.
Key Concepts
- TypeScript: Built from the ground up with TypeScript for better maintainability.
- Dependency Injection: A design pattern for managing object creation and dependencies.
- Directives: Extend HTML with custom attributes and behaviors.
- RxJS: Uses reactive programming for handling asynchronous data streams.
Evolution
Angular (often called Angular 2+) is a complete rewrite of the original AngularJS and is updated regularly with new features and performance improvements.
