List of Top JavaScript Frameworks 2020 For Front End Development

JavaScript is defining the future of the tech world with its wide genre of competent frameworks, which are capable of accelerating the development of applications in many ways. How to choose a certain framework in JavaScript is based on the company’s goals, project requirements and how certain frameworks can be used in different scenarios.

JavaScript, one of the most surreal and beautiful programming languages, enwrapped by the intriguing fact that even though it is named “Java” Script, it doesn’t have any association with Java. In mid-1995, when JavaScript came into existence it was disguised as the name Mocha and later it was named as “LiveScript” and when Netscape and Sun did a license agreement it was finally renamed to “JavaScript”. Nobody had even imagined in its initial form that it would be such a revolutionary programming language and would be entitled as one of the major languages to learn. The world is pacing fast with the ever-changing technology and programming languages being the pillar of technology. JavaScript is surely defining the future with its compelling and competent frameworks.

What are the Frameworks?

In general, a framework is a prototype or conceptual structure intended to serve as a support or guide for the building of something that expands the structure into something useful. According to Wikipedia ” A software framework is an abstraction in which software providing generic functionality can be selectively changed by additional user-written code, thus providing application-specific software.”

JavaScript web frameworks are cheat codes for quick web application development. They serve as a skeletal frame for single page application development and allows developers to worry less about code structure or maintenance and help them in focusing more on the creation of complex interface elements and expand opportunities of JS and plain HTML.

So, Which frameworks of JavaScript are most popular and why?

Below is the list of a few Javascript frameworks:

1. AngularJS- AngularJS is an open-source framework used in frontend and is maintained by Google. It is mainly used to subside and sort the problems encountered while creating single-page applications usually have, as it simplifies both development and testing of such application by providing a framework for client-side model view controller (MVC) and model view-view model (MVVM) architectures. For now, it is known to be the most used JavaScript framework for single-page applications and have the largest community of developers.

2. ReactJS- ReactJS camouflage itself to be JS framework but it is more of an open-source JS library, which has huge names like Facebook and Instagram behind it. React was built by a software engineer at Facebook. In 2011, it was first deployed on Facebook’s newsfeed and later on Instagram in 2012. React Js emerges in an ecosystem of complete frameworks, but it’s just the view. In MVC(Mobile-View-Controller) pattern, React.js acts as “V” and can be smoothly integrated with any architecture.

A fully functional dynamic application can’t be built with React alone. Recently, On April 18th 2017, Facebook announced a new core algorithm of React framework library for building user interface named React Fiber, which is said to be the foundation for future development and improvement of ReactJS.

3. Ember JS- A few years back, in 2015, EmberJs was considered to be the best framework leaving React and AngularJS behind. It does two-way data binding as same as AngularJS keeping both view and model in sync for all the time. Emberjs is commonly used for complex feature-rich web applications and website. LinkedIn, Netflix, Chipotle, Blue Apron, Nordstrom are one of the few of the top names that have incorporated EmberJS.

What works in its favour is that it is easy to learn and have many tutorials online which helps to learn it with ease.

4. Vue.Js- Vue.js is considered to be one of the best solutions for cross-platform development. The development of Vue.Js is considered by taking the best qualities from Angular, React and Ember such as Vue.js offers two-way data binding (same as in AngularJS), server-side rendering (like in Angular2 and ReactJS), Vue-CLI (backbone tool for quick start) and optional JSX support. and all the altering flaws in prior three.

5. MeteorJS- MeteorJS is a free and open-source framework, which is well-equipped with tons of features for back-end development, front-end rendering, DB(database) management and business logic. Being a full-stack platform, it has the quality that its name suggests which is being fast. If you’re looking to rapidly develop smaller, reactive applications on the Node.js platform, Meteor is definitely an excellent choice.

Due to its modular structure, all the packages and libraries can be used at a high pace. In terms of performance, all the changes in the database are transmitted to the UI in the shortest time possible and in conversely with no evident time losses caused by different languages or server response time.

The consideration of a JavaScript framework is based on the company’s goals, project requirements and how certain frameworks can be used in certain scenarios. JavaScript is portraying the whole new depiction of the future of technology as it backs the prompt development and prototyping.

These frameworks and libraries have already reshaped the way how JS collaborates with HTML and CSS to compile views both in browsers and now even on native platforms.

Hi, my name is Brad Touesnard. I’m the founder of Delicious Brains Inc. We make high quality products for WordPress. 

The “we” is currently a small team of six developers, one designer, one marketer, and myself. I’m very proud to say that our little crew has been managing to delight thousands of customers for years. 

In addition to this position, I’m currently in the process of hiring a Developer Writer and a WordPress Developer with plans for more soon. We have big plans for 2020. Exciting times! 

The Job 

Back in November 2018, we launched a new SaaS product called SpinupWP (a modern cloud-based server control panel designed for WordPress). We launched out of beta in May last year and have been growing steadily ever since. We’ve helped thousands of customers spin up over 8,000 sites, perform over 62,000 site backups, and perform over 660,000 tasks! 

Currently, Gilbert and Ash work full-time on SpinupWP developing and maintaining the app as well as supporting all of our customers. Lewis, our in-house designer helps with all things design as well. 

I’m looking for a talented Laravel developer to join Gilbert and Ash to help build new features for SpinupWP as well as help out with support and documentation. 

The app is built using Laravel (PHP) and the front-end is built using Vue.js, so lots of experience with both frameworks and their associated tooling is essential. You’ll also be using Ansible to make sure SpinupWP provisions servers and creates and maintains sites using our LEMP stack (Nginx, PHP, MySQL, Redis, etc) so sysadmin experience of hosting sites/web apps is also essential. 

We currently work in eight-week cycles with a two-week cooldown period where you can work on whatever you want from the SpinupWP backlog. All of our code is committed to GitHub and your code will be reviewed by Gilbert or Ash using GitHub pull requests. You’ll also be reviewing Gilbert and Ash’s code.

About You 

You’re excited about the prospect of working on the full spectrum of tasks that are required to build a successful SaaS app. From backend and frontend development, sysadmin, design and UX to documentation and support. You don’t mind wearing multiple hats on any given day. 

You’re curious and love to learn. You embrace the opportunity to level up, learn something new and really dig into it. You’re a disciplined worker and have no trouble getting work done at home on any given day. 

You value consistency above preference and will adopt new coding styles, standards, and tools to that end. You are stellar at identifying the simple, elegant solution in a sea of over-engineering possibilities. 

Although you often need people to help you generate ideas and formulate a plan of attack on a project, you do your best work in isolation without interruption. You’re proactive in tackling things that need to be done without direction. 

You’re exceptional at communicating in writing via instant message, email, etc. You’re ok on the phone and video chat too. You understand that clear, concise written communication is how remote teams thrive. Putting a pull request up for review without explaining its context is unheard of for you. 

You own both successes and failures. When a project you’re leading turns into a disaster, you own it and you learn from it. You never point the finger at others. 

You invite criticism and genuinely want to grow as a professional. You’re onboard with pushing each other to be better and are not afraid to give constructive criticism in addition to receiving it. 

Perks 

Location Independent. Work from wherever you’re happiest, as long as you can make scheduled meetings.

Choose Your Schedule. Most companies claim to have flexible hours, but the reality is often very different. We flex our hours for real. 💪As long you’re hitting 30-37.5 hours per week on average and you do what you say you’ll do, we’re good.

Company Retreats. As a remote company, it’s super important to get some face time. Last year we met up in Berlin and we’re headed to Portugal in June. Will you be joining us?

Personal Development. If there’s a conference or event that will help you level up, the company will cover your expenses. You’re also allotted 3 hours per month to learn something new, participate in community discussions, and/or contribute to an open source project.

Profit Sharing. I present a Profit & Loss report to the team quarterly so everyone knows how the company is doing. And when the company does well, the team does well.

Company Holidays. Things get pretty quiet in late December / early January, so we always treat ourselves to a couple of weeks off to reboot during this time.

Paid Leave. For the birth or adoption of a child, the company offers 8 weeks of 100% paid leave for primary caregivers and 3 weeks for secondary caregivers. We also offer 5 paid sick days and 3 days of paid bereavement leave.

Competitive Salaries. The company pays salaries that are competitive with the market in which you reside. We don’t use the benefits of remote as leverage to negotiate lower salaries.

Apply 

Fill out the application form: https://deliciousbrains.com/laravel-developer-apply 

We are an equal opportunity employer. Application information that is prone to unconscious biases is hidden during the review process whenever possible. We judge the content of the applications on their own without knowledge of the applicant’s race, color, gender, sexual orientation, religion, national origin, physical or mental disability, or age. We support workplace diversity, but not at the expense of equal opportunity and meritocracy. We’re looking for talented and empathetic people no matter their other attributes. 

I look forward to reviewing your application. 

Best of luck, 

Brad Touesnard Founder & CEO Delicious Brains Inc.

Angular vs React in 2020

Before we dive in, it’s worth taking a moment to check on what our mighty warriors have been up to these past 12 months. Have they been slacking? Or training non-stop to be the best in the JavaScript frontend arena?

Angular 9 and beyond

Released in February 2020, Angular 9.0.0 has been long awaited by Angular devs. Angular 9.0.0 introduces a bundle of additions and fixes to Angular. Among other improvements, Angular 9 replaces the ViewEngine (VE) compiler with Ivy, Angular’s next-generation compilation and rendering pipeline. 

First, Ivy offers significantly improved performance. Second, Ivy includes a streamlined toolset for debugging, testing, and building large and complex web applications. It also helps reduce bundle sizes, especially for larger applications.

With Angular 10 just around the corner performance remains one of the top priorities for framework developers. 

React 16+

So, on one side of the ring, Angular is focusing on improved performance and reduced package size. On the other side of the ring, the latest React updates are focused on bug fixes and plugging potential security vulnerabilities. In addition, React 16+ attempts to improve asynchronous programming capabilities. 

Released in February 2020, React 16.13.0 includes numerous deprecation warnings for unsafe methods and components, as well as bug fixes, naturally. In terms of new features, the latest additions were already introduced in React 16.9.0, released in August 2019. The new features were focused on improved testing of asynchronous code and measuring performance.

Now that we’re all up to speed on the latest developments, we can take a deep breath, and dive in.

Library vs Framework

The first and main difference between Angular and React is in standalone capabilities and scope. Angular is a full-featured MVC (Model-View-Controller) framework while React is a lightweight JavaScript UI component library. 

In this sense, pitting Angular against React in the arena is akin to a Judoka facing a Sumo wrestler. Each has advantages over the other. But with each bringing a different approach and technique the winner is anyone’s guess.

What this means for you, as a web app developer, is that you need to consider the components and features you will need to have out of the box. Angular packs most of what an average web app needs on-install, and includes capabilities React does not, like built-in routing and dependency injection. React, on the other hand, is not as demanding in terms of structure and approach. Though it lets you offload less-critical functionality to other libraries, it also means adding dependencies and complexity to the project code.

Language

Angular was the first major framework to fully adopt TypeScript – a superset of JavaScript and statically typed language. You can write Angular applications in both JavaScript and TypeScript, but TypeScript is often the choice of programmers looking to make their code more compact and easier to debug than pure JavaScript.

React is based on JavaScript ES6+ and JavaScript XML (JSX) – a template language running on top of JavaScript. What makes JSX (supported also in Vue.js) unique is that it stores markup and logic in a single file. While some may find issues with this approach, JSX has a strong typing system to statically analyze code. This makes it especially friendly to new developers and those of us prone to typos (read: everyone). 

It’s worth noting that while you can use TypeScript in React, it is not natively supported.

Real vs Virtual DOM (vs Iterative DOM)

One of the most significant technical differences between React and Angular is how each manages changes in document contents, layout, and structure. While Angular makes use of a Real (HTML) DOM (Document Object Model), React uses a Virtual DOM. 

This difference in approach is perhaps one of the reasons why so many frontend developers prefer React over Angular. The virtualization of the DOM makes for significantly better runtime performance.

(Source: https://illustrated.dev/react-vdom)

With a real DOM, like in Angular, the entire tree structure of HTML tags needs to be updated whenever there are any changes. React instead creates a new virtual DOM whenever change is detected, and compares it to the “real” DOM. If the two differ, only then is the real DOM modified where the alterations were made.

The developers managing the Angular open-source project had no choice but to take note of this issue. More and more developers were switching to React to improve app performance. So action was taken. In the recently made official Angular compilation and rendering pipeline Ivy, you can implement an iterative DOM. This approach, while quite different from React’s DOM virtualization, can potentially save up to 30% runtime memory, especially with large Angular applications.

Unidirectional (Downward) vs Bidirectional Data Binding

Data binding is a technique to synchronize UI and logic. React uses one-way data binding (sometimes called Downward Binding) and Angular uses two-way data binding. 

The comparison between React and Angular in UI and business logic synchronization and data binding makes for a perfect representation of just how different the approaches are.

In Angular, changes to input in the UI can make changes to the model / component state and vice versa. In React, when you update the model /component state, the change will be rendered in the UI element. Modifying the UI element, however, will not affect the model / component state. You can change this functionality in React by using callbacks or state management libraries like Redux.

Bidirectional data binding may mean less code and less complexity in data flows. On the other hand, Angular can force the developer to be extremely careful and keep two-way data binding within a component. Without such care, you may find yourself with components in undesirable states and multiple sources of truth. These have a tendency to turn into long nights of bugchasing. 

(Source: https://www.cleveroad.com/blog/angular-vs-react)

This is just one of the many ways Angular tends to push developers into designing and coding their applications in a certain way. In contrast, React provides flexibility, but also depends on other libraries to enable added functionality. This dependency can, in turn, turn cumbersome with a growing stack of technologies, libraries and components that require constant upkeep.

Community & Documentation

This is not a popularity contest. Sure, when you compare frontend libraries, frameworks or even toothbrushes, odds are you will opt for the most popular and highly rated one. Toothbrushes and herd psychology aside, there are good reasons to consider the availability (and relevance) of both community support and official documentation. It helps if the documentation is good, or at the very least complimented by well-written tutorials and an active community on topical forums.

In this sense popularity does count and React is by far the more popular than Angular no matter what metrics you use. It has more stars and followers on GitHub, more downloads, and is listed as more beloved than Angular/Angularjs in stackoverflow’s 2019 developer survey by quite a margin. 74.5% of developers surveyed loved React, while only 57.6% expressed their affection for Angular/Angularjs.

Why is this significant? As you well know, pretty much all developers of all proficiency levels turn to Google and community forums with questions. This is in fact true for most professions today: when you’re not sure how to do something, Google it and/or ask in the right places online. 

With more users asking questions and answering them on the Internet, you have a better chance of Googling up a solution to your problem. In that sense, React has an edge over Angular. Having a larger user-base is not the only advantage React has. Being a Facebook project, it is frequently updated and documentation is available quickly.

Angular is managed by Google, which adds credibility to its reputation. However, since it is less favored by developers you may find yourself relying on available documentation that is insufficient for most.

For a developer considering which of the two they should learn there is an endless list of comparisons and discussion. If those aren’t enough, you can always add to them and ask the community what the right solution is for your specific requirements. We don’t need to tell you that at the end of the day, what matters is what you prefer as a developer, and what each project requires.

The Knockout

At this point, the Judoka and Sumo fighters in our metaphorical arena are giving us weird looks. Of course they are. The real battle here is not in the ring. It is between the frontend developers around the ring.

It’s worth noting that the differences we listed are only a handful of the properties that differentiate React from Angular. From licensing to backward compatibility and approaches to native app development – there are more differences than similarities, really. Especially when you consider that both are essentially used for the same goal – web application development. Very different means to an end.

If we had to pick a winner, it would be you, the web developer. Why? Because understanding the most significant points of distinctions between Angular and React puts you in a perfect position to select the fighter you want at your side as you tackle your next project.

[itechaja]

Recently, a lot of individuals raise what they must learn to become a front-end developer. A way to learn front-end whereas there area unit such a lot of things to be told, everything changes thus quick, new technologies, new standard libraries virtually once a year. Once you begin reading articles and news concerning it, you’ll feel lost. Of these technologies React, Angular, Vue.js, jQuery, Javascript, even Bootstrap area unit stoning up everyplace. And at now, you most likely marvel however and wherever to begin and eventually become smart at it. In this article, I’ll try and answer this question, illustrate to you what front-end developers do on a routine and what steps you must fancy come through your goal, what’s essential, and what not most.

What is front-end Development and what front-end developer does?

Front-end Development is that the part of the application that we tend to as users will see and act with. From a lot of technical purposes of reading, it’s accountable for collecting knowledge from the user and spending it to back-end and for displaying back-end knowledge to the user. However, front-end developer has an extra task; he or she must implement designers concepts.

So, what skills will the person have to be compelled to be an honest front-end developer?

Start with HTML

The first talent (the essential one, really) that you would like to own is hypertext mark-up language (HyperText Markup Language), it’s necessary for the front-end of WordPress development company. Hypertext mark-up language creates the skeleton of our web site or application. It creates blocks, components like the menu, image, text, video, table, inputs, etc. however, the excellent news is that it won’t take an extended time to induce conversation in it. Once concerning one week of learning and active, you’ll be ready to produce the first project in a hypertext mark-up language. Bear in mind that hypertext mark-up language doesn’t apply colors and every one the sweetness to your components. Here comes consequent talent you would like to own.

Continue with CSS

The next factor that you certainly need to grasp is CSS(Cascading vogue Sheets); it sits progressing to be with you throughout all of your front-end careers, therefore higher get terribly at home with it. You’re proceeding to use CSS to feature your page to some trend. With CSS, you’ll produce all the positioning of components, provide them colors, alignment, fonts, sizes, margins, and even some animations. From one purpose of reading, CSS is extremely simple within the starting; however, once you attempt to master it, then you’ll see what percentage of things are activity behind that you had no plan concerning. Your approach for CSS ought to discover that you can learn new tricks throughout all of your life.

Now it’s the time to apply, having markup language and CSS you’ll produce stunning websites, dashboards, UI or UI components. A lot of you’ll produce, the higher your data can become.

At this time, it might be nice to require a more in-depth investigation of UI libraries like Bootstrap or UI linguistics or Foundation. Don’t be afraid; it’s enough to find one amongst them to understand the way to use all. I might suggest ranging from Bootstrap as a result of it’s the foremost widespread one, and many firms use it.

Also, at this time is an additional factor to say. You would like to search out what responsive style and media queries as a result of, in 2019, your needs to be mobile-friendly. Currently, we will move to the succeeding step.

Go deeper with Javascript

Now let’s start with more serious things. You should learn JavaScript if you want to increase the functionality of your websites. With javascript, you can add a lot of things like image sliders, forms validation, popups, tooltips and lots of other interactive elements. You can also create a connection to back-end and send data through API calls. If you face any problems during development, you can always look at the documentation or ask other Javascript community members on any Facebook group, Stackoverflow, or any programming forum.

It seems like that’s it? Unfortunately, we should learn a modern framework for front-end development. Let’s go to the next step.

Use JS frameworks

Now let’s begin with additional serious things. you’ve got to be told Javascript to feature additional practicality to your web site or application. With JS you’ll be able to add image sliders, forms validation, popups, tooltips and much of different interactive parts. you’ll be able to additionally produce an association to back-end and send information through API calls. Of course, you’ve got to apply tons after you got the Javascript data. If you face any issues throughout development, you’ll be abe to invariably inspect the documentation or raise different Javascript community members on any Facebook cluster, Stackoverflow, or any programming forum.

It sounds like that’s it? sadly not, currently, it’d be sensible to be told a number of the fashionable frameworks for front-end development. Let’s move to the consequent step.

ReactJS

It’s a component-based library created by Facebook; it’s a superb tool for building UI. ReactJS isn’t difficult, it shouldn’t be if you recognize Javascript without delay, and there’s a large community of developers and tones of sources that you might use to clarify everything you wish to grasp.

If you’d prefer to get accustomed to ReactJS, take a glance at the tutorials we’ve prepared:

Angular

It’s a really common front-end framework from Google and here is one difficult factor, to use Angular, you would like to update your information and add matter (it’s terribly just like Javascript. However, it’s typewritten and has some a lot of extra features). Angular conjointly has wonderful documentation, scores of resources, and a giant community.

Vue.js  

 It’s a replacement framework that gained immense quality; it’s a component-based framework. Creators of Vue.js tried to make it as easy as attainable in order that it should be the proper selection for the beginner. On the opposite hand, resources to find out aren’t terribly huge, and therefore the community is tiny, however growing.

Now it’s time for you to pick out. If you’re unsure, perhaps it’s an honest plan to create a take a look at the project with every one of them and check that one you’re feeling snug with. It’d seem to be it’s everything you would like to understand, however, there’s still another necessary factor. Let’s visit the last step.

Finish with Git

The final thing you must learn is skunk (Version management System); junior developers typically skip it, however virtually every WordPress development services provider uses it, and it’s unbelievably helpful to grasp; however, it works. It’s primarily used for the collaboration of developers on one code. You must begin learning skunk by putting in it on your machine. It’d be right for you to make your repo on Github or Bitbucket and store your code there. Take a glance at the documentation to establish|to be told} basic commands and find out what’s a branch, commit, or code review. It looks like that’s it.
