What are the advantages of using AngularJS?

I would like to highlight some Major Advantages of Angular JS from any JS developer's point view:

  1. It is very to easy to start with and learn

  2. provides solution to most (If not all) the problems faced by JS developers like

headache of keeping DOM updated according to data( 2-Way Data Binding)
Modular Code and Separation of concerns (Modules, Services, Directives, Controllers)
custom behaviour to DOM elements etc.(Directives)
and many more

  1. Fast Application Development since it provides you abstraction over many common tasks in the form its core services and directives. Example being from the story one of Creators of Angular JS Misko Hevery

Hevery eventually began working on a project at Google called Google Feedback. Hevery and 2 other developers wrote 17,000 lines of code over the period of 6 months for Google Feedback. However, as the code size increased, Hevery began to grow frustrated with how difficult it was to test and modify the code the team had written.

So Hevery made the bet with his manager that he could rewrite the entire application using his side GetAngular project in two weeks. Hevery lost the bet. Instead of 2 weeks it took him 3 weeks to rewrite the entire application, but he was able to cut the application from 17,000 lines to 1,500 lines.

  1. A large community support.

At last, would like to say , unless you have a requirement like too many frequent updates on the page, Angular might be ideal for most of the applications.

Why AngularJS?

• Two-way Data Binding:

The 2-way Data Binding allows auto-synchronization between Model and View components. Data Binding enables you to stores the information and the data in such a way that it doesn't get repeated. Whereas in two-way Data Binding, if there are any changes made to any data, it will reflect the whole model.

• Unit Testing:

Security is the biggest challenge faced by any company worldwide. The complete documentation is provided by the Unit Testing which will always be updated, including the instructions related to your motive of the code & its functional behaviour. The dominant benefit what Unit testing provide is that it forces you to use your code & encounter the defects in your design.

• Data Binding:

Data Binding provides following benefits to Angular Framework:

No need to write the code which synchronizes the view with the model and vice versa.
Simplified Programming model
A decrease in the number of Boilerplate coding.
• Less Coding:

With the help of a conclusive User Interface, 2-way Data Binding & POJO Models, it enables you to form less amount of code in your project with exceptional capabilities.

• MVVM Architecture:

AngularJS is furnished with MVVM(Model-View-View-Model) Architecture. The HTML template (of a component) is the view & the typescript part is the view model. Connecting the view to the view model is bindings.

Benefits of AngularJS:

It is a fully featured web app framework established on JavaScript and managed by Google.
AngularJS extensions support filters.
It is an MVC architecture that makes web apps easy to build from scratch.
AngularJS provides reusable components.
Developers have to write short codes, and they can gain more excellent functionalities with AngularJS.
Apps are suitable for iOS and Android platforms.
It provides the quickest way to create large and Single Page Apps with the help of using HTML.
AngularJS provides features like Data Binding and Dependency Injection which help to eradicate much of the code writing.
The development of the app is done without the need for refreshing the models and, updating the DOM with the help of its data-driven approach.
It is easy to remove components; Delete a directory and all the stylesheets, scripts will be automatically removed.
Each component is confined to its directory. It allows developers to work effectively in a team.
It is an open-source JS tool included with Angular directives.
