My Server Side Rendering thoughts

I'm tech advising my friends' startup and it's interesting. Out of our discussions, I had a thought I wanted to get down in ink.

Client Side Rendering sucks for small teams but is nearly impossible to escape in Standard Technologies^1.

^1: Cunningham's Law: "the best way to get the right answer on the internet is not to ask a question; it's to post the wrong answer"

Backend development is basically fine

Say that you are writing an internal tool website. In his case it's a sales-y CMS-y thing; an integrated wizard & search tool. Obviously there's a few domains there (the Requirements server! The Catalog & search product! the produced Proposals!) and there's a sane UML chart about how the layers interact. Cool.

You've picked a language like ts/js/go/py/php/kotlin for your backends based on skill availability, libraries, etc. You're done, right?

But!

Frontend dev still requires a completely different approach

Developing the frontend for this kind of sucks. You've written a sane set of microservices in your favorite backend technology, yes, but when it comes time to knit them together, you probably need to switch technologies. You're going to pick React (or equivalently Svelte, Vue; Solidjs, etc), because you want a Single Page Application website.

At WebScale(tm), this makes sense: nothing scales or is available like the users' own browsers for the interactivity parts of your app. But if you're optimizing for the simplicity and team size, I'm not sure you want to bring a completely second technology into this game.

Liveview writes the frontend for you ASTERISK! FOOTNOTE! SEE CIT!

My friend's background includes the Elixir/Phoenix/Liveview stack^2.

Liveview uses a persistent websocket between the client and server. The client sends browser events to the server across the socket. The server uses a react-like events-and-caching-and-reevaluating model to determine changes to state as a result. The server uses session state to maintain its own mirror of the browser's DOM, and then streams the differences to the frontend, where the standard clientside javascript library applies them, and the cycle continues.

^2: 15 bits entropy remain

Chris McCord on how and why Liveview is, c. 2021.

Ok, so...? How does this help the solo dev?

At this phase, separation of concerns is overrated and you're probably not doing it right anyway.

You're a small-team multi-hat dev. You are building this app by the seat of your pants; you are not sure the UI you're building is the right UI yet.

So if you do normal React stuff, the flow of data is something like:

... → [Raw Database Schema] → [Internal Business Object in e.g. python] → [Display-oriented GET API in python on server] → [Serialize JSON] → [React render in typescript on browser] → [React produces final DOM changes on browser]

Those "display oriented API"/Serialize/"react HTML" lines are really suspicious at this point. Even though you've modeled your business objects correctly, every change to the interaction model requires synchronized FE and BE changes.

This is more than a protocol problem: something like protobufs or tRPC or whatever let you better describe how the interface is changing, but you'll still need to consume/produce new data, FE & BE changes.

So it lets you instead write:

... → [Raw Database Schema] → [Internal Business Object in elixir] → [Server rendering in elixir & HEEx on server] → [Serialize LV updates] → [LV FE lib renders on browser]

Bennies

By regarding the produced DOM mirror as a server API, you can feel ok about writing custom display queries and privileged business model access in your backend code. It means you're not using your RESTful GET endpoints in this codepath, but it also means you're not spitting out that boilerplate with only one current caller that will never have a second caller...

By sending browser events to the server's mirror of the DOM, you don't need to dip into the browser behavior; you can write server code that responds to the user's semantic actions. One can go too far; probably most confirm modals etc should get maintained & triggered clientside, but liveviewers usually take the serverside loop.

This websocket is critical for scoping changes, because e.g. a form post down in the guts of the page might cause changes at distant locations in the DOM (a nested delete button deleting an element from a list?) and the client's browser needs to be told to do the refresh of those elements (the list and any changed elements and a parent object with an element count and...?). That didn't use server generated events, but those could exist too ofc.

How does Elixir keep getting away with it?!

The pat answer for how Liveview does this -- including Chris McCord's article -- is the Blazingly! Efficient! Nature! of the BEAM! VM! (everything is green threads; cluster routing of method calls and replication of state; resumption of failed units of computation, etc etc).

I'm incredibly suspicious of this.

Sure, BEAM solves these problems for the developer, but so does a redis instance (or just the DB you were using anyway! Postgres is no joke!) + frameworks. Lots of apps use session state and use adapters to store that state durably with the end dev not needing to get into the weeds about how. Library authors could do this. It might be easier or harder for a given library author to deliver this in a given language, but there are some very skilled library authors out there.

You, developer, do not yet have as many users as you hope. DevOps has deployment practices that BEAM does not fit into. BEAM's enormous multiplexing is not saving you more than just turning up a few more servers would. You would be writing in go or in c++ if you meant it.

So:

Why isn't there already a popular equivalent of LV in js/ts/py/php/kotlin/etc?

TL;DR: LiveviewJS seems like the closest/most complete option as I understand it.

There are other equivalents ofc. But they have nowhere near the same level of use, despite being in languages that are OoM more in-use.

Candidates include turbo, django unicorn, unpoly, React Server Components... But none are really right afaict!

I can kind of guess why they're not as popular, which is that if you do not need to tie up server assets on a per-client basis, you will not choose to tie up server assets on a per-client basis. Websocket state, client DOM mirrors, etc; it adds up.

If you're building a chat app or video app, obviously devoting a stateful local socket-per-client is a good tradeoff. But I feel like there are lots of models that are similar! Including the one my friend is facing, modifying a document with a lot of spooky action at a distance.

What's missing? The last mile(s)

We have the technology to render any given slice of the page on the server. But AFAIK there's no diff behavior or anything so it'll render the entire subtree. You can choose whether to ship back DOM updates or fully rendered HTML; it doesn't make much of a difference to my point IMO.

Using something like htmx, you could have a frontend form post cause a subtree of the DOM to get re-rendered on the backend and patched back into the document.

That's "fine" so far as it goes, but if (in general) a form post changes components at a distance and you're trying to avoid writing custom frontend-y code for this, you're going to need to target some fairly root component with the changed htmx and include a lot of redundancy -- a SPA that does a refresh of the whole business model.

Why aren't more people talking about this?

The pieces of architecture feel like things we've all had available for a while: websockets, servers that handle requests and websockets, session state, DOM diffing, DOM patching.

How did Elixir get there first (Chris McCord explains how he got there first, so that might just be the answer: spark of genius)? Why did nobody else follow? Is there just a blindingly obvious product out there that does it that I'm missing?

One thing I see is that the big difference is only around server pushed events. Remix/RSC gets us close enough if the browser is always in control. If it isn't, you gotta write your own notification mechanisms -- which you can do, but now you gotta do it, and they're definitely running on the client, and your product has taken on a whole notification pipeline thing.

How Do You Choose A Vue JS Development Company?

With the market's evolving trends, having a strong digital presence is critical for gaining a competitive advantage. With business becoming more competitive by the day, it is critical to stay ahead of the curve and reach its target audience. This opens the door to the need for a responsive website and brand applications.

Vue.js stands out among the plethora of JavaScript frameworks used to build the core of a website. Since its initial release, the framework has grown in popularity and has become the preferred choice for businesses with high-traffic websites!

As brands strive to stay current, software developers must devote time to learning Vue.js. This is one of the main reasons why Vue Js developers are in high demand. But, to hire the best Vue JS development company, one must be well-versed in the nuances of the role. Let's dive in and learn about the framework, its benefits, and how to find a company that meets your needs!

What is Vue.js, exactly?

Vue.js is a popular open-source JS framework that helps developers create high-quality (Uls) for multi-page apps. As one of the most well-known JS frameworks in the world, it provides developers with a wide range of features such as animations, plugin systems, event handling, data binding, built-in directives, and so on. Its extensive ecosystem is the icing on the cake.

Whether you are a beginner or an experienced developer, Vue.js allows you to curate small and large-scale applications. This one-of-a-kind front-end framework employs a model-view-view-model (MVVM) architectural pattern to distinguish business logic from various graphical Uls. Vue.js stands out from the crowd because it is lightweight and simple to learn.

The Top Advantages of Hiring Vue.js Developers

Vue.js is a time-saving and cost-effective option to consider because it allows developers to extract many web components from before developed websites. They can borrow components from existing websites/applications and use them to improve their own. Vue.js developers also enjoy faster loading times for all their websites and applications. These are not the only options. Vue.js has more advantages. Let us delve deep and investigate them!

1. Enhanced Flexibility

Serving some flexibility as well as increased scalability to your developers while they curate user interfaces is a pure delight in such a tech-savvy world. Vue.js is supported by a variety of third-party libraries and components, making incorporating newer technologies a breeze.

In this manner, Vue Js development services can save the valuable time required to update the applications with market trends. Because of its multi-view-view-model architecture, Vue.js developers, like JavaScript developers, can access a variety of HTML blocks.

2. Simple to Understand

Vue.js provides developers with a simple structure, making it easy for newcomers to get their hands on this popular JavaScript framework. Vue.js, unlike other frameworks, does not need a steep learning curve. You only need a basic understanding of JavaScript and HTML/CSS to get started.

Furthermore, the browser plugin, which is available for Chrome and Firefox, makes it simple for developers to get started. The power of single-file components is used by Vue.js developers. The framework allows developers to store all JS, HTML, and CSS code in a single file, increasing efficiency.

3. High-Quality Outcomes

Vue.js developers can express their creativity because the framework is simple. When this occurs, some of the best possible outcomes outshine your brand and increase revenue. Because Vue.js is so integrated into other frameworks. It is simple for developers to create an all-inclusive application that includes both essential components and functionalities.

4. DOM Virtualization

When it comes to web pages, the Document Object Model (DOM) is at work. It contains objects that represent various HTML pages of various styles, elements, and content. Developers using Vue.js can align their operations with Virtual DOM, allowing for quick and easy changes.

Virtual DOM structures are dedicated JavaScript structures that absorb changes to the DOM. Once completed, the changes are compared to the original data structure, and only the most recent ones are reflected in the actual DOM. In this manner, web applications can amend changes and improve their performance.

5. Data Binding in Both Directions

This is one of the most desired features, and developers love it. Vue.js gives you an advantage in a competitive market by allowing for two-way communication. This distinct advantage provides developers with a link between model data updates and UI, simplifying their work. This allows them to transfer changes made in the UI to the data and vice versa.

These are some of the most common reasons why businesses are looking to hire Vue.js developers to help them take their brand to the next level.

What Should You Look For in a Vue.js Development Company?

Hiring a Vue.js development company is no easy task. When it comes to hiring a Vue.js development company, several factors must be considered. Here are a few of the most important ones to help you with your research.

1. Customization Level

The company you want to work with should give you enough leeway to meet your internal project deadlines. Flexibility can help boost creativity when curating some excellent user interfaces (UI). This produces even more results tailored to your target audience.

You can also assess the company's adaptability based on the level of customization it provides and how it incorporates feedback. Because not all businesses accept feedback and make the necessary changes, you should make certain that the company you've hired checks this box.

2. Time to Complete

When it comes to hiring a Vue.js development company, this is one of the most important considerations. Their turnaround time should always correspond to your priorities. You don't want to be plagued by missed deadlines and incomplete work. As a result, you should always ensure that the company you deal with is responsive and follows through on its promises.

3. Client Reviews

Client feedback is an important factor to consider, also to their tech-savvy approach and the wide range of services offered. When looking for a Vue.js development company, make sure it is a well-known and trusted brand.

4. Team Knowledge

This is an important consideration, especially when hiring a technical firm. Unlike some other industries, where core technical knowledge can be compromised when it comes to business, Vue.js is a specific field where technical expertise is required.

Acing your Vue.js game becomes difficult without some basic knowledge of programming languages. This is the most important reason why you should look for team expertise when hiring a dedicated Vue.js development company.

5. Cost-effective

Hiring entails increased budgets, so it is critical to select a cost-effective option to streamline your business expenditure. This can be determined by their services, performance, and general expertise, all which state their worth.

Finishing up

If you want to take your brand to the next level and expand your online presence without straining your current resources, it's time to hire a Vue.js developer. In some cases, you may want to consider hiring a development company to handle your Vue.js needs.

While many companies claim to offer dependable Vue.js solutions, only a few can back it up. InstaIT is one such company that has a team of dedicated Vue.js experts to help you get started. Our professionals use their years of experience to understand your specific technology needs.

React JS Tutorial for Beginners | What is React JS and Why use React JS?

What is React JS?

It's a JavaScript library for creating user interfaces, to put it simply. Let's start with the fundamentals before moving on to the rest of the React JS course. There are two words in this definition: javascript library and user interface. Let's have a look at what these terms signify.

The library is a collection of pre-written code that is efficient, complicated, well-written, and easily accessible. As a result, it simplifies our lives and allows us to use code written by others with ease.

Assume we wish to find the cosine value of 20. Rather of obsessing over how this library was created, we simply use the math library. For instance, Math.cos (20).

The user interface is what the user sees right away.

React JS is a powerful tool that breaks down a page into many building elements known as components, allowing for fast front-end development.

React JS pre-requisites

There are some prerequisites to bear in mind before we plunge into the depths of our React JS Tutorial. We need a fundamental understanding of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript because these are the cornerstones of any frontend development and are required to become an expert.

1. HTML

(Hypertext Markup Language) is an acronym for Hypertext Markup Language.

It's a markup language used to make web pages and documents.

Tags for Beginners:

div> span>: div> span> is a tag that is used to organise elements.

form>: to create a form that will be used to collect data from users.

input>: specifies what and how users' input should be collected.

button>: creates a button and specifies the functions that will be executed when the button is clicked.

2. CSS

Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) is an acronym for Cascading Style Sheets (CSS).

It's in charge of the website's appearance and feel.

You can apply styling to HTML items that you've selected.

Syntax at a High Level:

selector{property1 : value1; property2 : value2; property3 : value3;}

CSS has three main selectors: selectors, selectors, and selectors, selectors.

In an HTML document, id(#) is unique.A group of elements is referred to as a class(.).-Box Model Tag(tag name) – all tags of a specific tag name

Every constituent is given the shape of a rectangular box.Four edges make up each box.Border Padding Padding Padding Padding Padding Padding Padding Padding PaddingOther features, such as colours, fonts, and backgrounds, must also be well-understood.

React JS Tutorial

is clear to you.

Why use React JS?

We can move on to the next level of the React JS tutorial now that you know what React is and why we utilise it.

In front-end development, React is a strong and widely used tool.

React is more popular than Vue and Angular, which are competitors. The fact that React is a library is one of the key reasons for its success. As a result, as compared to Angular, which is a framework, you have more control over the application's flow.

The components that aid in optimization can be easily reused. In comparison to Angular and Vue, React has an extremely low learning curve. React is used by some of the world's most well-known companies, including Facebook, Netflix, PayPal, Tesla, and others.

When we create a single-page application, we can see the full benefits of React. React developers have more job opportunities than Angular developers.

Single Page Application

Multiple server requests were sent with multiple reloading in the traditional system. This resulted in lower performance, increased bandwidth, and increased processing time. Single-page apps, on the other hand, make only one request to the server, and the server responds as the data is re-written.

Components make up the entirety of the web page. Virtual DOM locates the component that needs to be reloaded and updates that item in the actual DOM without reloading all of the webpage's components.

Single-page applications save time and bandwidth while also improving performance. Gmail, Facebook, and Twitter are examples of SPA.

JSX

JavaScript XML is abbreviated as JSX.

It's utilised by React to allow HTM and JavaScript code to coexist.

In the past, we used to include JavaScript in HTML. However, using JSX, you may now use HTML in JavaScript.

Which front-end framework is the easiest?

Building a front-end application requires the combined use of HTML, which is responsible for the basic layout of the web page, CSS for visual formatting, and JavaScript for maintaining user interaction. Front-end frameworks are needed to make the work of web developers easier - these software packages generally offer ready-made / reusable code modules, standardized front-end technologies and ready-to-use interface blocks that allow developers to create a web faster and simpler applications and user interfaces.

There are many front-end frameworks on the web and most of them run on JavaScript as the source language. The developers are still arguing fiercely over which is the best. So, in choosing a framework that suits your needs, there are a few factors and tons of nuances to consider.

React is one of the most popular front-end frameworks on the market. It is a library based on JavaScript components with JSX syntax, developed by Facebook and first published in 2011. Later, in 2013, it became an open library. Source library, which makes it a little different from the classic definition of the framework.

React is popular with over 3 million active users and is supported by a large community - 80% of developers have had at least one positive experience with React in their projects and over 1.5 million websites have been created with its help.

40% of JS developers are using Vue.js and over 700,000 websites have been built with its help. Vue is not supported by major players like some other frameworks. It was first published in 2014 and created by Evan You, the person behind the development of another popular framework Angular.

Vue includes a virtual DOM, component-based architecture and two-way binding that underpin its high-speed performance - all of which make it easy to update related components and track data changes, which is desirable for any app. Developers who choose Vue.js can take advantage of its small size compared to React or other frameworks.

Also called Angular 2+, it is a modern TypeScript-based open source framework and one of the most popular software development tools today. Over 600,000 websites have been developed with its help.

Angular (released in 2016) is an upgraded edition of AngularJS with improved performance and many powerful additional features. Angular offers two-way data binding for instant synchronization between the model and the view, so that any changes in the view are immediately reflected in the model and vice versa. Angular Features Guidelines that allow developers to program special DOM behaviors that enable the creation of rich and dynamic HTML content.

jQuery is one of the oldest open source JavaScript front-end frameworks. Although it is a true veteran of this market, it can still be considered one of the best front-end frameworks of 2021 as it is almost relevant for modern development conditions with a few exceptions. JQuery development can be a pretty effective tool for building desktop-based JavaScript applications. JQuery's streamlined code logic, cross-browser support and streamlined approach to dynamic content are able to deliver perfect website interactivity even in 2021.

Ember, the open source MVVM JavaScript web framework, was released in 2011 and has since gained tremendous popularity. Around 14% of JavaScript professionals use it or have used it in their practice. With 30,000 websites developed, this framework is considered quite stable and works seamlessly for various needs.

Backbone.JS is a free and open source JavaScript library developed in 2010 by Jeremy Ashkenas, the author of CoffeeScript. About 7% of front-end developers have had positive experiences with Backbone.JS and it has been used during the development of 600,000 websites.

Backbone.js follows an MVC / MVP development concept. It encourages you to translate your data into models, DOM manipulations into views, and connect them together via events. In other words, it presents your data as templates that can be created, validated, deleted, and stored on the server.

Semantic UI is a relatively young player (2014) in the front-end frameworks market. Powered by LESS and jQuery, it is a framework for CSS that was developed by Jack Lukicthis, a full-stack developer, with the idea of building it based on organic language syntax. In no time, in 2015 and later, it became one of the top JavaScript projects on GitHub.

It has a sleek and flat design that provides a streamlined user experience. Semantic UI provides a set of tools to configure themes and CSS, JavaScript, font files and an intuitive inheritance system so you can share the code once you've created it with other applications.

Angular 12, the most recent production unharness of Google’s widespread TypeScript-based net framework, has received an associate update. Angular 12.1, arrived quarter day, adds compiler support for shorthand property declarations in addition to fixes for the compiler, compiler interface, router, and repair employees.

The Angular twelve.1 purpose unharness additionally introduces Apis to prefer into correct take a look at teardown behavior. The compiler fixes pertain to problems like unterminated interpolation and consider restoration, whereas the service employee fixes pertain to the naming, accessing, and clean-up of service employee caches.

[ additionally on InfoWorld: Angular, React, Vue: JavaScript frameworks compared ]

Published could twelve, Angular twelve is out there on GitHub, following varied beta unharnesses and release candidates. Angular twelve deprecates the heritage read Engine compilation and rendering pipeline in favor of the newer vine technology, a next-generation compilation and rendering pipeline that gives quicker AOT (ahead of time) compilation.

The Angular team noted that read Engines are removed during a future unharness. Current libraries victimization read Engine can still work with vine apps, however, library authors square measure suggested to begin transitioning to the vine.

Also in Angular twelve, the Ivy-based language service, providing capabilities like code completions and hints within templates, moves from opt-in to on by default. different new options and enhancements within the version twelve release:

To improve compiler interface performance, the progressive compilation is allowed within the presence of redirected supply files.

Nullish coalescing, to write down clearer code in matter categories, currently works with Angular templates.

Both Angular CDK and Angular Material expose a replacement Sass API surface designed for consumption with the new @use syntax. once change to Angular twelve, the associate app can mechanically switch to the new API by change via metric weight unit update.

Tools square measure on the market to migrate heritage localization IDs to IDs victimization the most recent algorithms.

Components currently support inline Sass within the designs field of the @component decorator.

Running metric weight unit build currently defaults to production, saving steps, and serving to forestall accidental readying of development builds.

Strict mode, to catch errors earlier within the development cycle, is enabled by default within the interface.

The Webpack five-module bundler is production-ready.

Support for the IE11 browser has been deprecated.

For the compiler, support is obtainable for reworking element vogue resources.

For the language service, Angular property completions square measure provided solely in templates.

For the compiler-cli, a context possibility is introduced for any request that permits the provision of capricious knowledge during a type-safe method. This feature addresses the necessity to piece interceptors in hypertext transfer protocol shopper on a per-request basis.

For animations, DOM components currently square measure properly removed once the basis read is removed. this can be a breaking amendment.

To improve performance, unused strategies are aloof from DomAdapter.

A new format is extra to localize-extract, referred to as legacy-migrate, to get a JSON file which will be wont to map heritage message IDs to canonical ones.

Strict null checks can report on a fraction doubtless being null. this can be a breaking amendment.

The form of the APP-INITIALIZER token has been modified to a lot of accurately replicate the categories of come back values handled by Angular. this can be a breaking amendment.

Support has been extra for disabling animations through BrowserAnimationsModulewithConfig.

The emit event possibility was extra for FormArray and FormGroup. this can be a breaking amendment.

More fine-tuned management has been extra in routerLinkActiveOptions.

Custom router outlet implementations are square measure allowable.

Support has been extra for matter four.2, and support for matter four.0 and matter four.1 has been born.

Implementing the appendAll() technique on HttpParams.

For forms, min and Georgia home boy validators square measure being introduced.

Exporting an inventory of hypertext transfer protocol standing codes.

Addition of a feature to the Angular Language Service that allows accessing the locations for parts that use a templet file.

The addition of nosology to counsel turning on strict templates, providing the way for the language server to retrieve compiler choices nosology.

A patch adding associate API to retrieve the templet type check block for a templet, if any, at a file location, and choice of the TS node within the TCB cherish the templet node at that the request for a TCB was created. this can facilitate debugging.

A variety of bug fixes additionally were featured, moving the compiler, compiler-cli, Bazel build tool, the router, and different elements of Angular. Angular 12 has arrived with a pile of improvements to its performance, language service, compiler, form validation, and much more. The deprecation of the View engine and incorporation of the Ivy ecosystem is certainly one of the major enhancements considered in version 12.

Angular 12 has witnessed improvement in styling, Nullish Coalescing, and shifting from Legacy i18n Message IDs as some other important features that make this release a stable one. AngularJS training in Kochi is one of the trending programs that every developer desires to master in Angular JS.

Vue JS #2 - Using props to pass data, click event and for loop

[webbygraphic001]

So, You’Ve Won An Exciting Redesign…What Now?

The transitioning of power is fraught with difficulties. Different teams have different values, different experience, different expertise, different priorities, and that leads to different tooling, and different methodologies.

It’s tempting to think of web design as an end-to-end process, starting with research and concluding with metrics. The reality is that most designers and developers join projects part-way through an ongoing process.

That leaves us with a difficult choice: do we try and meet the client’s expectations with our own toolset, or adapt to the tools and processes that are already in place?

For anyone who’s taking over a web project from a different designer/developer/agency (D/D/A), here’s a practical guide to help you make a success of the transition.

Step 1: Find Out What Went Wrong

99.99% of the time, something broke down in the previous client-D/D/A relationship.

In my experience it’s almost never about money. Most clients are willing to pay above the basic market rate if they believe they’re receiving a good return on their investment. A client that tells you the previous D/D/A is simply too expensive is anticipating negotiating your fees.

happy clients don’t shop around

Occasionally you’ll find that a freelance designer has been headhunted by an agency, and is no longer available. Occasionally the company outgrows a D/D/A, moving into areas that the D/D/A doesn’t support. But these situations are rare, happy clients — even moderately content clients — don’t shop around. If they’re speaking to you, something motivated them to do so.

It is alarmingly common that a D/D/A simply goes AWOL. It’s most common at the lower end of the market where the sums of money involved are less likely to prompt a legal dispute. Frequently, an unreputable D/D/A will ghost a client in favour of a better, newer opportunity.

Sometimes the client hires a new manager, and the new manager ushers in revised expectations that the previous D/D/A can’t meet.

Most commonly, the previous D/D/A has dropped the ball one too many times — mistakes happen, and reasonable clients will tolerate them provided they are rectified promptly, but everyone has their limits.

Most clients will be more than happy to explain what went wrong in the previous relationship; it will inevitably be a one-sided explanation, but it will help you to understand the client’s expectations.

Be extremely wary of a client who doesn’t know what went wrong. Be even more wary of a client who talks about “upgrading” their outsourcing — they’re trying to flatter you. In these cases the client may well be hiding something — like their failure to pay invoices.

Remember: at some point the previous D/D/A was new, and excited about having a new client, was optimistic about the project, and it didn’t end well. The best way to not repeat mistakes is to learn from them, and to do that you need to know what they were.

Step 2: Carry Out a Comprehensive Audit

We’re often so eager to secure new work, that we rush to have the client sign on the dotted line, expecting to be able to tackle any problems later.

It is imperative that as a professional, you keep your promises. Before you make those promises, take your time to understand the project and related business. If a client is invested enough to sign a contract with you they won’t mind you doing due diligence first.

Is There Still a Relationship With the Previous Designer/Developer/Agency?

Clients rarely have a full picture of their project — they’re not web professionals, if they were they’d be building their own sites. Your best source of information is the previous D/D/A.

Before you contact the previous D/D/A check with your client; it’s possible they don’t know they’re being replaced yet. If your client is fine with it, then reach out.

When you speak to the previous D/D/A be sensitive to the fact that you’re taking money out of their pocket. Certainly the previous D/D/A may tell you where to go, they may ignore you altogether, but most will be pragmatic about handing over a project if only to ensure their final invoice to their now ex-client is paid promptly.

Every site has its idiosyncrasies, if you can establish a friendly rapport with the previous D/D/A then the transition will be considerably less bumpy.

Who Controls the Domain Name(s)?

In my opinion a company’s domain name(s) should always be held by the company; it’s such an essential business asset that it should be guarded as jealously as the company’s bank accounts.

Unfortunately there are businesses that outsource everything to do with the web. If the break with the previous D/D/A is acrimonious then securing the domain name could be problematic.

It’s not your job to secure the domain name — you have no leverage, the client does. It is your job to impress upon the client how mission-critical the domain name(s) is.

Who Controls the Hosting?

Hosting arrangements vary from project to project. It’s not uncommon, nor unreasonable, for the previous D/D/A to be hosting the client’s site on their own space. If that is the case, be prepared to migrate it quickly either to your own server, or a dedicated space.

If you’re migrating onto a new space pay particular attention to the email provision. Taking over a project usually means taking over a live project, and that usually means email accounts.

In any case, you need full access to the hosting space. You certainly need FTP access, you probably need SSH access.

In addition to hosting, check if your client’s site uses a CDN, and if it does, who has control of it.

Backend Source Code

Once you have FTP access to the hosting server you can probably grab all backend code from the server.

The benefit of grabbing the code from the server — as opposed to accepting files from the previous D/D/A — is that you can be absolutely certain you’re getting the current (working) code.

If the client has broken with the previous D/D/A because they were unable to deliver on a particular task, you do not want to be working with files that have been partially modified.

Fresh Installs

If you’re working with something like a CMS, it’s often a good idea to run a fresh install on your server, and then copy across any templates, plugins, and migrate the database.

Frontend Source Code

When it comes to acquiring source code, frontend code is far more problematic than backend.

frontend code is far more problematic than backend

If the previous D/D/A is even part-way competent then the CSS and JavaScript on the web space is minified. Minified CSS is not too problematic and can be unminified fairly easily, but you do not want to be unpicking a minified JavaScript file — I once had a project in which a developer had minified his own code in the same file with all of his dependencies, including both Vue and jQuery [yes, I know].

Dealing with frontend source code can take on an additional dimension if you discover that the previous D/D/A used techniques you don’t — using Less instead of Sass, or writing scripts in TypeScript.

Unminifying CSS & JavaScript

Unminifying (or beautifying, or prettifying) code is reasonably easy. There are tools online that will help, including Unminify, Online CSS Unminifier, FreeFormatter, JS Minify Unminify, and more. You’ll also find plenty of extensions for code editors including HTML-CSS-JS Prettify for Sublime Text, and Atom-Beautify for Atom. You’ll find that some editors have the functionality built in.

A word of warning: code beautification does not restore comments, and in the case of JavaScript, does not unobfuscate variable names. Beautifying code is no substitute for a copy of the original, unminified source code.

Emergency Measures

If unminifying the source code isn’t possible for any reason, or more likely, the unminified JavaScript still looks like minified code — albeit nicely formatted minified code — then your last resort is to import the code and override it where necessary.

The first thing to do in this case is to explain the situation to your client. Make sure they understand this is a temporary patch that you’ll iron-out as you rebuild parts of the project.

Then, copy and paste the old minified code into a fresh project setup. For CSS that probably means creating a legacy.scss file, including the old CSS, and importing it into your own Sass. For JavaScript, create a legacy.js file, add all the old JS, and import that.

This will result in a much bigger set of files than necessary, you may end up using !important in your style declarations [yuck], and you’ll trigger lots of Lighthouse warnings about surplus code.

However, in the likely event that your client has a long list of changes they wanted live yesterday, this dirty hack will give you a working site that you can then rebuild piece by piece over time.

Assets

Assets normally means images, and images can normally be grabbed via FTP.

Occasionally — although less occasionally now image files rarely contain text — you’ll need the source files to make changes to images.

Whether or not the client has them, or if the previous D/D/A will hand them over, depends largely on the agreement between the client and the previous D/D/A.

Most businesses are reasonably aware of the importance of brand assets, so you’ll probably find they at least have a copy of their logo; whether it’s an SVG or a JPG is another matter entirely. Impress upon them the importance of locating those files for you.

Third Party Code

It is rare to receive a project that doesn’t rely on third party code. That third party code is probably entwined in the custom source code, and unpicking it is a time-consuming job.

It is very likely the previous D/D/A used a library or framework, and given the increasing number of them, it’s even more likely that the library or framework they used is not the one you prefer.

Whether you choose to unpick the code and swap out the previous D/D/A’s dependencies for your own preferences (usually faster in the long term), or whether you choose to work with what you’re given (usually faster in the short term) is entirely up to you.

In my experience it’s no hardship to pick up another CSS library; switching from one JavaScript framework to another is a substantially bigger job involving not just syntax but core concepts.

Beware Build Environments

Everyone has their own way of doing things. Some D/D/As embrace build environments, some do not. Some build environments are simple to use, some are not. Some build environments are adaptable to your process, some are not.

Unlike adopting a library, or even a framework, adopting a new build process is rarely a good idea

Build environments are numerous — Gulp, Grunt, and Webpack are all popular — and D/D/As are almost as opinionated about them as they are about CMS.

In lieu of raw files, it’s not uncommon for the previous D/D/A to tell you to “just run such-and-such CLI” command, to match up your local environment to theirs. Unlike adopting a library, or even a framework, adopting a new build process is rarely a good idea because you’re relegating yourself from expert to novice at a time when you’ve yet to earn your new client’s trust.

Stand your ground. Their approach failed, that’s why you’ve been brought in. You do you.

Who is Licensed?

Any third part code that has been paid for is licensed. Always check who holds these licenses. As well as being legally required, valid licenses are normally required for updates, bug fixes, and in some cases support.

Common pitfalls include: font licenses (which may be licensed under the previous D/D/A’s Creative Cloud, Fontstand, Monotype, etc. account); stock image licenses (which may be licensed for use by the previous D/D/A alone); and plugins (which are frequently bulk-licensed to D/D/As in bundles).

It’s depressingly common to find clients using unlicensed assets. On more than one occasion I’ve had to explain to a client the potential consequences of using pirated fonts.

Fortunately it’s increasingly common for third party providers to attach a licence to a specified domain, which means you may be able to claim the licence on behalf of your client. Major suppliers like CMS and ecommerce solutions frequently have an option for the previous developer to release a licence and allow you to claim it.

In the case of licensing, if you’re unsure, do not be afraid to reach out to the third party provider and check with them if your client is licensed once they break ties with their previous D/D/A.

The only thing that sours a client relationship faster than telling them they need to buy a license they thought they’d already paid for, is telling them they’re being sued for copyright infringement.

Protect your client, and protect yourself, by making sure everything is licensed properly. If you can get something in writing to that effect from the previous D/D/A, do.

Who Has the Research and Analytics?

One of the major benefits of taking over a site, as opposed to building from scratch, is that you have a measurable set of site-specific data to guide your decision making.

This only applies if you have the data, so ask to be added to the client’s analytics account.

There’s a strong chance that the design research carried out by the previous D/D/A is considered an internal document, not a deliverable, by the previous D/D/A. Check with your client: if they paid for the research (is it specified on an invoice?) then they’re entitled to a copy.

We Have a Blog Too…

Clients have a tendency to use the term “website” as a catch-all term for everything digital.

When you take responsibility for a website, you’re almost always expected to take responsibility for any digital service the client uses. That means, newsletter services like Mailchimp, customer service accounts like Intercom, and 227,000 page WordPress blogs that they forgot to mention in the initial brief.

Repeat the whole of Step 2 for every additional app, micro-site, blog, and anything else the client has, unless you are expressly told by the client not to.

Step 3: The Point of No Return

Up until now, you haven’t asked the client to sign on the dotted line. This whole process is part of your due diligence.

By checking these things you can identify unforeseen problems, and potential costs. Are you tied to an obscure build process? Do you need to relicense the CMS? Do you need to recreate all of the site assets?

Some of these conversations are hard to have, but the time to have them is now

If there is any question of the project being more complex than anticipated, have an honest conversation with your client — they will appreciate your transparency, and they’ll appreciate being kept informed. Any client who doesn’t value a clear picture of what they’re paying you for, isn’t a client you want.

Some of these conversations are hard to have, but the time to have them is now, not three months down the line.

This is the point of no return. From this point on, any problems aren’t the previous D/D/A’s, they’re yours.

Change the Passwords

For every service you have, from the newsletter login, to the CMS login, to the FTP details, change the password. (Make sure you notify the client.)

Set Up a Staging Site

You’re going to need a staging site so your new client can preview the work you’ve done for them.

Set the staging site up immediately, before you’ve made any changes to the code. In doing so you’ll discover early on if there are files missing, or issues with the files you do have.

Successfully Transitioning a Project

When a client commissions a site from scratch they are filled with expectation. The fact that they are leaving their previous D/D/A and seeking you out demonstrates that their experience fell short of their hopes.

You now have a client with realistic — perhaps even pessimistic — expectations. You have a benchmark against which your work can be objectively measured.

When problems arise, as they invariably will, never try to blame the previous D/D/A; it was your job to assess the state of play before you started work. If there is an issue with legacy assets, you should have brought it to your client’s attention early on.

If you learn from the previous D/D/A’s mistakes, you won’t be handing the project on to someone else any time soon.

VueJS & Firebase Cloud Firestore Stripped-Back - Tutorial Part 1

In this tutorial series we will explain how to start developing with the Vuejs framework & Firebase Cloud Firestore to build full-stack web applications. We’ll start from scratch by stripping everything back to the basics - no CLIs, build tools or bundlers, just a HTML page, an editor and a browser so you can get to grips with building apps with Vue & Firebase more quickly and be productive faster.

VueJS

Vuejs is now one of the big 3 Javascript frameworks in the web client ecosystem. However it’s not developed or backed by a huge corporation, it was developed by one individual, Evan You. The proliferation of JS frameworks in recent years has led to the term “Javascript Fatigue” where developers have become weary of all of the new and self-proclaimed “latest and greatest” open source frameworks. It is in this environment that Vue has emerged through all of the noise to become a major player alongside Angular and React (both backed by huge technology companies, Google and Facebook respectively). That Vue has achieved such a status in this environment backed by one individual highlights just how Vue has hit a chord with developers and is filling a gap that isn’t being met by Angular, React or other competitors like Ember and Aurelia.

Evan You is an ex-Googler who was familiar with AngularJS (often referred to as Angular 1) and used it for internal projects at Google that he was working on. He set out to achieve a framework that delivered the benefits of AngularJS but was more lightweight, faster and better suited to smaller apps that didn’t require the heavy-lifting of the huge apps that AngularJS was originally built to develop such as their Adwords platform and their internal CRM system. What he produced was a beautifully simple solution and it quickly attracted adoption as the front-end framework of choice for many PHP developers, particularly from the Laravel community.

Despite promising early adoption in some quarters, Vue may well have stayed a “me-too” framework in the ecosystem had it not been for Google’s decision to redevelop their AngularJS framework from scratch. Angular (often referred to as Angular 2) was such a departure from the original AngularJS framework that it introduced a fundamental shift in approach and required developers to learn many new concepts just to build basic apps. Developers were kept in limbo between AngularJS and Angular for almost 2 years, with many alphas and then  betas and many breaking changes and missing pieces to deal with during the transition and then no easy migration path for their existing code and apps.

There’s no doubt that, as a new framework in it’s own right, Angular is a fantastic, powerful, all-in-one next generation framework but it isn’t “Angular” as millions of developers know it. Perhaps the biggest mistake Google made was in not launching their next-gen framework under new branding. In any event and unfortunately for Google, Angular 2 was too big a change for many developers and while uptake was initially high, it hasn’t achieved the type of ongoing adoption or love as AngularJS or React and it’s clear that Vue, with many obvious similarities to the original Angular, has arrived just in time to sweep up and become a magnet for disgruntled Angular devs.

In addition, the droves of developers jumping in to the Javascript ecosystem over the past years, in their evaluation of an appropriate framework, are choosing Vue in vast numbers due to how easy it is to learn and how quickly they can start building apps. I would say that the best word to describe Vue to developers choosing a framework is “approachable” - it seductively invites you in and once there you find it’s so intuitive and simple to get productive, covering all of the bases you need, that once you’re in you tend to stick with it. For me personally I actually enjoy spending my days developing around Vue, I cannot say the same for Angular unfortunately.

In 2018, Vue is set to gain even greater momentum and overtake Angular into second place in the Javascript framework popularity chart. The main reason for this may be that the massively popular Ionic mobile and PWA framework is about to release a version that decouples it from Angular and enables developers to build apps with Ionic using any framework (or none at all). It’s interesting that this is likely to be a tipping point for Vue to achieve critical mass and yet is due to the Ionic team’s concern that Angular isn’t seeing the level of adoption anticipated and continuing to hitch their wagon to Angular is likely to hamper their own growth.

To address this, in Ionic 4, they’ve developed a framework-agnostic, web component-based edition of their mobile framework. When you look online it’s fairly clear that the majority of the delight at Ionic’s shift away from Angular is coming from those who want to use Ionic with Vue. Personally I only stuck with Angular because of Ionic despite my preference for Vue and since their announcement of Ionic 4, I have thrown myself fully into Vue. The sweet spot that Vue hits between Angular and React is in delivering a more lightweight and simple approach than Angular, focussing first and foremost on being a view renderer like React but providing optional elements that are officially supported and developed by the Vue core team, such as routing that can be easily dropped in to your app. This is what is meant when Vue is called a “progressive framework”, you can start by using as little or as much of the framework as you need, progressively using more of it’s subsidiary elements as required. Another advantage to using Vue is that it’s lightweight enough to use it in one part of your app and progressively expand it to other parts when you’re ready, for example if you have existing app in vanilla Javascript, jQuery or another framework that you want to change over to Vue piece by piece.

As mentioned, Vue’s biggest advantage is it’s simplicity and approachability. While other frameworks require knowledge of build systems, CLIs, Node, NPM etc just to start building an “Hello World” app, with Vue you can strip everything right back, open up an HTML file in an editor and get started simply without needing to spend time learning anything else. While you’ll likely want to move over to the full modern JS development environment as you get more involved, it isn’t required to get started.

Firebase Cloud Firestore

So Vue is a fantastic front-end framework but to build even the most trivial worthwhile app, we need a back-end and a data store. Like with using Vue, we want to use something that delivers simplicity and approachability yet gives us the power to build advanced apps as you become more experienced. For this project Firebase Cloud Firestore is a no-brainer to use as the database back-end. Like Vue, we can just get started using Firebase with just a basic HTML page - no need for CLIs and build tools to just start building something.

I first used Firebase back in 2014, when they were a small, private company shortly before they were acquired by Google. At the time Firebase was not a platform but a hosted realtime database and I fell in love with it immediately - for prototyping it was perfect and it’s realtime capabilities were just awe-inspiring at the time.

However Firebase did have some serious limitations that made it unsuitable for me to use as the back-end database in a production app. It didn’t allow server-side code, so all of your logic was exposed on the client and it’s database querying facilities were extremely limited. Also, as a No-SQL document database, organising relational-style data into something that was manageable without joins and queries required denormalisation and duplication of data, something which is anathema to those coming from a SQL-based relational database background. I felt it was a real shame as, despite these limitations, it was very impressive and working with it’s Javascript API was a joy.

After Google’s acquisition, Firebase was expanded into a full serverless platform allowing for storage, cloud messaging, hosting, authentication, analytics and much much more. What had been “Firebase” became the Realtime Database element of the platform. Fortunately Google started to address the limitations that I and many other developers had found with the original Firebase. First server-side code, in the form of Cloud Functions, was added which enables you to put more of your sensitive business logic code onto the server.

More recently Google introduced an alternative database to the original realtime database which they call Cloud Firestore. Cloud Firestore addresses many, but not all, of the issues with the realtime database in terms of querying and organisation of data. It still provides the full realtime capabilities that we know and love and is still a No-SQL database based on documents. However you can now organise them into Collections (similar to relational DB Tables) which enables you to perform much more advanced queries. You can have specifically defined fields each of which can have a specific type. One of these types is the Reference type which lets you store links between documents on different collections to enable a form of join. In addition Cloud Firebase enables offline usage so the user can continue to use your app even if access to the server isn’t available. There are still limitations, remembering it’s not a relational database, and full joins are not possible and neither are aggregate queries such as SUM, COUNT etc. However with 90% of the issues I had with the original Firebase realtime database now dealt with through Cloud Functions and Cloud Firestore, Firebase is now an excellent choice as the back-end, serverless platform and data store for building full-scale production apps.

OK so enough talk about the what and why, let’s get going with the how and write some code. We’re going to start, as we’ve talked about, with a single HTML page. Choose your OS, code editor and browser of choice (I’m using VSCode on OSX and highly recommend using Chrome as your browser).

Open up your editor and select to create a new file in a new folder. Just call the new file index.html. Once you’ve done this, start with a skeleton html page as shown below :

<html>

     <head>          <title>VueJS & Firebase From Scratch</title>      </head>

     <body>

     </body>

     <script>

     </script>

<html>

The first thing we’ll need to do is to import the VueJS library. We can do this with a CDN link (see below) which is placed below the closing body tag and before the opening script tag  :

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/vue"></script>

This recommended CDN link is correct at the time of writing however may change in future. To ensure it’s correct, once you’ve inserted this link into your page, save it and open it up in Google’s Chrome browser (select File from Chrome’s menu and select Open File … to navigate and select your newly created index.html file). The page will show as blank in any case however right-click on the page and select Inspect from the pop-up menu and click the Console tab. If this displays nothing eg there are no error messages then you’re good however if you do get an error complaining about the vue library then browse to https://vuejs.org/v2/guide/ and look for the link displayed under Getting Started.

We’re ready to build our app! The first thing we need to do is to create the Vue Instance Object that will be used as the core of your app.

<script>      var app = new Vue({                           el : '#app'      }) </script>

This creates a new Vue instance that we can reference throughout our html template and which contains all of the data and methods that we’ll create to develop the app. Some call it the View Model however we’ll stick to calling it the Instance Object. We simply create a new object called app from Vue and pass in an object with all of the information about our app. To begin with, we only declare a single property in this object which is el, short for element, and we assign #app. This tells Vue that any reference to an element that has the id of app is to be controlled by our Vue Instance Object.

In our html template we can now simply create a container html tag and assign it the id of app. All of the content within that tag is then controlled automatically by our Vue instance object. (Please note that any content in bold from here on in denotes new or changed content.)

<body>

     <div id=‘app’>

     </div>

</body>

Please note : Unlike AngularJS, with Vue you cannot assign the reference to the Instance Object on the body tag, you have to create your own container tag to assign it to, as in this case we’re assigning it to a div container.

Great but we’re not actually doing anything yet. Now we want to give our app some life. To do this we’ll give the app a name and display it as a title and we’ll do this as data held on the Instance object rather than write it directly on the template. To do this we’ll need to add another property called data to our instance object. The data property is an object which contains any variables you want to reference in your template or elsewhere in your app. In this case we’ll create a variable called appTitle and assign it a name. The app we’re going to build is an employee tracker that is going to be so indispensable to it’s users that it will be like magic!

<script>      var app = new Vue({                           el : '#app’,                           data : {                                       appTitle : ‘EmployeeMagic’                           }      }) </script>

We can now use the data binding features of Vue to display our new app title in our page template.

<body>

     <div id=“app”>

         <h1>{{ appTitle }}</h1>

     </div>

</body>

Save and refresh your page in Chrome and you’ll see EmployeeMagic as your app header. The double curly braces are pretty standard in most frameworks these days to denote data-binding (also called interpolation). The content inside the double-curlies is interpreted by Vue and the required content is displayed at that point in the template. In this case Vue recognises that we have a variable called appTitle in data in our Instance Object and replaces it in our template with the value contained in the variable. There are many benefits of data-binding, the main one being that any change in the variable in our instance object is automatically reflected in our template without any additional effort on our part.

So far so good but it’s a little plain-Jane so let’s add the Bootstrap library link for a bit more aesthetic to it without any extra effort. The link used below for then Bootstrap CDN was current at the time of writing however check the Bootstrap website if you have trouble with the link :

<header>      <title>EmployeeMagic</title>

     <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.0.0-beta.3/css/bootstrap.min.css"/>

</header>

Let’s say however we want to add a margin around the app so it’s not displaying right up against the edge all the time. To do this we’ll need to add some CSS styling however we can take advantage of a cool Vue feature which lets us set our styles programatically.

Let’s add another variable to our data object which is specifically for styles, let’s call it mainStyle. This will be an object so that we can assign as many different CSS style settings as we like. For now we just want to assign a margin of 20 pixels :

<script>      var app = new Vue({                           el : ‘#app’,                           data : {                                      appTitle : ‘EmployeeMagic’,                                      mainStyle : { ‘margin’ : ‘20px’ }                            }      }) </script>

Now we need to tell Vue where to use that styling property in our template. We’ll create a new container div tag to wrap around the rest of our app. In that tag we need to tell Vue to assign the styling we’ve defined in mainStyle. To do this we can use a Vue directive called v-bind:style and assign it the name of style object we want to use.

<body>

     <div id=“app”>

         <div v-bind:style=“mainStyle”>

             <h1>{{ appTitle }}</h1>

         </div>

     </div>

</body>

Save and refresh in Chrome and you’ll see the margin has been applied. I personally love this feature of Vue and there are lots more you can do to apply styling which we’ll cover later in the tutorial.

It’s interesting to note that when using directives such as v-bind:style, Vue offers a more shorthand way by dropping the v-bind. If Vue just sees :style it knows what to do, so we could have used ...

<div :style=“mainStyle”>

... instead. Throughout these tutorials I’ll continue to use the more verbose version to show the full directives consistently however where a new directive is shown, I’ll also highlight the shorthand version. Generally if you see v-bind followed by a colon and the command, you can drop the v-bind although there are exceptions that we’ll cover in a future part of the tutorial.

We’ve so far covered what VueJS and Firebase Cloud Firestore are, why we’re using them as the framework and platform for this app, and the basics of setting up a simple HTML page to build our employee tracker app, setting up our Vue object, basic data-binding and styling using a Vue directive.

In the next 4 parts of this tutorial we’ll focus on each element of CRUD (Create, Read or Retrieve, Update and Delete) so in part 2 we’ll deal with Creating records to store in our Firebase Cloud Firestore.

Hope you can join me in Part 2 :)

In 2020, we are blessed with a number of frameworks and libraries to help us with web development. But there wasn't always so much variety. Back in 2005, a new scripting language called Mocha was created by a guy named Brendan Eich. Months after being renamed to LiveScript, the name was changed again to JavaScript. Since then, JavaScript has come a long way. 

In 2010, we saw the introduction of Backbone and Angular as the first JavaScript frameworks and, by 2016, 92 per cent of all websites used JavaScript. In this article, we are going to have a look at three of the main JavaScript frameworks (Angular, React and Vue) and their status heading into the next decade.

For some brilliant resources, check out our list of top web design tools, and this list of excellent user testing software, too.

01. Angular

AngularJS was released in 2010 but by 2016 it was completely rewritten and released as Angular 2. Angular is a full- blown web framework developed by Google, which is used by Wix, Upwork, The Guardian, HBO and more.

Pros:

Exceptional support for TypeScript

MVVM enables developers to separate work on the same app section using the same set of data

Excellent documentation

Cons: 

Has a bit of a learning curve

Migrating from an old version can be difficult. 

Updates are introduced quite regularly meaning developers need to adapt to them

What's next?

In Angular 9, Ivy is the default compiler. It's been put in place to solve a lot of the issues around performance and file size. It should make applications smaller, faster and simpler.

When you compare previous versions of Angular to React and Vue, the final bundle sizes were a lot a bigger when using Angular. Ivy also makes Progressive Hydration possible, which is something the Angular team showed off at I/O 2019. Progressive Hydration uses Ivy to load progressively on the server and the client. For example, once a user begins to interact with a page, components' code along with any runtime is fetched piece by piece.

Ivy seems like the big focus going forward for Angular and the hope is to make it available for all apps. There will be an opt-out option in version 9, all the way through to Angular 10.

02. React

React was initially released in 2013 by Facebook and is used for building interactive web interfaces. It is used by Netflix, Dropbox, PayPal and Uber to name a few.

Pros:

React uses the virtual DOM, which has a positive impact on performance 

JSX is easy to write  

Updates don't compromise stability

Cons:

One of the main setbacks is needing third-party libraries to create more complex apps 

Developers are left in the dark on the best way to develop

What's next?

At React Conf 2019, the React team touched on a number of things they have been working on. The first is Selective Hydration, which is where React will pause whatever it's working on in order to prioritise the components that the user is interacting with. As the user goes to interact with a particular section, that area will be hydrated. The team has also been working on Suspense, which is React's system for orchestrating the loading of code, data and images. This enables components to wait for something before they render.

Both Selective Hydration and Suspense are made possible by Concurrent Mode, which enables apps to be more responsive by giving React the ability to enter large blocks of lower priority work in order to focus on something that's a higher priority, like responding to user input. The team also mentioned accessibility as another area they have been looking at, by focusing on two particular topics – managing focus and input interfaces.

03. Vue

Vue was developed in 2014 by Evan You, an ex-Google employee. It is used by Xiaomi, Alibaba and GitLab. Vue managed to gain popularity and support from developers in a short space of time and without the backing of a major brand.

Pros:

Very light in size 

Beginner friendly – easy to learn 

Great community

Cons:

Not backed by a huge company, like React with Facebook and Angular with Google 

No real structure

What's next?

Vue has set itself the target of being faster, smaller, more maintainable and making it easier for developers to target native. The next release (3.0) is due in Q1 2020, which includes a virtual DOM rewrite for better performance along with improved TypeScript Support. There is also the addition of the Composition API, which provides developers with a new way to create components and organise them by feature instead of operation.

Those developing Vue have also been busy working on Suspense, which suspends your component rendering and renders a fallback component until a condition is met.

One of the great things with Vue's updates is they sustain backward compatibility. They don't want you to break your old Vue projects. We saw this in the migration from 1.0 to 2.0 where 90 per cent of the API was the same.

How does the syntax of frameworks compare?

All three frameworks have undergone changes since their releases but one thing that's critical to understand is the syntax and how it differs. Let's have a look at how the syntax compares when it comes to simple event binding:

Vue: The v-on directive is used to attach event listeners that invoke methods on Vue instances. Directives are prefixed with v- in order to indicate that they are special attributes provided by Vue and apply special reactive behaviour to the rendered DOM. Event handlers can be provided either inline or as the name of the method.

React: React puts mark up and logic in JS and JSX, a syntax extension to JavaScript. With JSX, the function is passed as the event handler. Handling events with React elements is very similar to handling events on DOM elements. But there are some syntactic differences; for instance, React events are named using camelCase rather than lowercase.

Angular: Event binding syntax consists of a target event name within parentheses on the left of an equal sign and a quoted template statement on the right. Alternatively, you can use the on- prefix, known as the canonical form.

Popularity and market

Let's begin by looking at an overall picture of the three frameworks in regards to the rest of the web by examining stats from W3Techs. Angular is currently used by 0.4 per cent of all websites, with a JavaScript library market share of 0.5 per cent. React is used by 0.3 per cent of all websites and a 0.4 per cent JavaScript library market share and Vue has 0.3 per cent for both. This seems quite even and you would expect to see the numbers rise.

Google trends: Over the past 12 months, React is the most popular in search terms, closely followed by Angular. Vue.js is quite a way behind; however, one thing to remember is that Vue is still young compared to the other two.

Job searches: At the time of writing, React and Angular are quite closely matched in terms of job listings on Indeed with Vue a long way behind. On LinkedIn, however, there seems to be more demand for Vue developers. 

Stack Overflow: If you look at the Stack Overflow Developer Survey results for 2019, React and Vue.js are both the most loved and wanted web frameworks. Angular sits down in ninth position for most loved but third most wanted.

GitHub: Vue has the most number of stars with 153k but it has the least number of contributors (283). React on the other hand has 140k stars and 1,341 contributors. Angular only has 59.6k stars but has the highest number of contributors out of the three with 1,579.

NPM Trends: The image above shows stats for the past 12 months, where you can see React has a higher number of downloads per month compared to Angular and Vue.

Mobile app development

One main focus for the big three is mobile deployment. React has React Native, which has become a popular choice for building iOS and Android apps not just for React users but also for the wider app development community. Angular developers can use NativeScript for native apps or Ionic for hybrid mobile apps, whereas Vue developers have a choice of NativeScript or Vue Native. Because of the popularity of mobile applications, this remains a key area of investment.

Other frameworks to look out for in 2020

If you want to try something new in 2020, check out these JavaScript frameworks.

Ember: An open-source framework for building web applications that works based on the MVVM pattern. It is used by several big companies like Microsoft, Netflix and LinkedIn.

Meteor: A full-stack JavaScript platform for developing modern web and mobile applications. It's easy to learn and has a very supportive community.

Conclusion

All three frameworks are continually improving, which is an encouraging sign. Everyone has their own perspective and preferred solution about which one they should use but it really comes down to the size of the project and which makes you feel more comfortable. 

The most important aspect is the continued support of their communities, so if you are planning to start a new project and have never used any of the three before, then I believe you are in safe hands with all of them. If you haven't had a chance to learn any of the three frameworks yet, then I suggest making it your New Year's resolution to start learning. The future will revolve around these three.
