Angular vs. Vue.js: Which is the Best for Your Project Needs?

Angular vs. Vue.js Which is the Best for Your
Project Needs?
2
The web development space has witnessed dramatic
changes over the years. The JavaScript ecosystem,
especially, has been truly volatile with new
JavaScript frameworks being introduced almost
every month. The existing ones are updated quite
often, thanks to the community striving hard to
constantly enrich them. Even though JS realm has
been very vibrant with all the amazing diversity,
it has greeted many with high degree of confusion.

The evolving JS landscape
So, when you come to an idea for a
JavaScript-based web application
development project, you are confused which
framework would boost your ability and best suit
your projects requirement. Being an Angular
development company, we have always exceeded
client satisfaction by delivering ambitious and
competitive web apps within the required
timeframe. Today we are considering a serious
contender, Vue.js that has done exceptionally
well in a limited period of time.

Angular vs. Vue.js
Angular is a very mature framework and Vue.js, on
the contrary, is just a newbie. Despite that,
Vue.js has managed to gain immense popularity in
a very short period of time. It is evident from
the fact that Vue.js has 53.7k GitHub stars while
AngularJS has 55.8k and Angular has 24.1k GitHub
stars. In this post we would perform a
comparative analysis of Angular and Vue.js based
on the following dimensions
5
Learning curve
Although learning curve depends on both the
framework and its learner, still there are
certain things which make the learning process
harder or easier for most of the people. Angular
probably has the steepest learning curve because
you need to learn a new language called
TypeScript barring everything that you might have
used earlier in JS development such as modules or
components.
6
However, it brings along features like dependency
injection that demands a bit of hard work in
order to optimize your app as well as capitalize
on features like ahead-of -time compilation and
lazy loading. Vue.js, on the other hand, works
fine with both ES5 and ES6 and appears like
JavaScript. Its template is intuitive to
manipulate using components and directives and
easy to output your data. However, building more
complex apps is more complicated but Vuex, the
official library for Vue.js applications, make it
much easier.
7
Ease of usage
In the words of Evan You, the owner of Vue.js,
unlike Angular Vue.js is a more flexible and less
opinionated solution. Thus, it allows you to
structure your application the way you want it to
be rather than being forced to the things the way
of the framework. It is just like an interface
layer which you can use to create light features
in web pages instead of creating larger single
page applications. Hence, Vue.js is considered
more balanced as it doesnt put several
implications like Angular and empowers you to
build applications your way instead of ending up
doing it the Angular way.
8
Performance
Your applications need to have a fast initial
loading time i.e. small bundle size, as well as
great runtime performance in order to perform
well. Angular is slower than Vue.js and it also
has a big bundle size when it comes to smaller
apps. However, Angular is a faster framework with
great runtime performance when it comes to
complex and bigger apps.
9
The performance of Vue.js might change when it
comes to bigger apps focused on specific tasks.
Therefore, the performance results need to be put
into perspective and hence there is no clear
winner in this dimension. This is because the
size and type of application significantly
impacts the performance.
10
Creation of SPAs
Angular was built for creating Single Page
Applications (SPAs) hence offers you a lot of
tools for building larger SPAs. Google is using
it too in order to rebuild apps like Adwords and
Adsense. Vue.js, on the other hand, is not
focused on building SPAs though you can create
SPAs using third-party packages. So, Vue.js could
also be a valid choice for building SPAs but you
might encounter some challenges which you are
less likely to hit while using Angular.
11
Ease of deployment
This dimension might sound trivial but it could
be really tough to deploy your finished app
correctly. The reason could very much be your
chosen framework as some frameworks could make
things complicated while deploying your optimized
app. Well, Angular could make your move from
development to deployment the hardest one unless
and until you use the Angular CLI. Still,
leveraging features like lazy loading and
Ahead-of-Time compilation could be a daunting
task.
12
When it comes to the road to development and
deployment, Vue.js is much easier than Angular.
If you have dropped an import or if you have a
complex local set-up Vue CLI would take care of
everything and efficiently handle the code
optimizations for you.
13
Final words!
Every framework comes with its own strengths and
weaknesses hence, finding the best one truly
depends upon your project needs and your
experience as a developer. As a business owner,
you need an application that serves your current
needs, scales to address your future needs
effectively and enables you to stay relevant and
competitive in your industry. Angular is a much
evolved framework and has a lot of tools right
out of the box. Vue.js is very lightweight and
easy to learn and lets you create application
your way. Now, the decision depends on the needs
of your project.
