hi all, We are in progress of evolving the drat UI, I was communicating this with previous mails as well. But we are in a vital decision making point. Where we have to select one Front end technology for DRAT UI.
I have compiled a comparison between three major techs, Angular,React and vue. Though i sent it to a previously started mail, According to the request from the members of the community i'm starting a new thread for that. Looking for your comments. Angular is one of the top ranked front end frameworks, since its a complete framework it forces the developer to learn its specific technologies like Typescript. Because of these preselected libraries and usual practices angular learning curve is higher than the other two. though the main selling point and headache being Typescript of being OOP is also sometimes questionable. On my personal experience using this.property caused me errors and made me to pass the object to the function to get rid of the issue. main drawback of angular is bigger learning curve and lack of flexibility compared to other two. Also provides advantages in two way data binding, template reuse better documentation and routing. React succeeding angular in faster rendering with virtual DOM, community adaptation is on top , Simplicity, smaller learning curve, easy syntax and almost all areas. Biggest selling point of react is its bigger eco system than angular and vue. Material UI libraries are more stable and mature with react than the other two. React has a lot of tools according to most developers who have used both angular and react. Another unique feature available with react is its mobile support. Same code can be used in more platforms. It lacks some notable features too. Data flows one way in react, no OOP since its using JS and JSX makes code complex. Though these drawbacks are accepted as features in some scenarios But wider range of people accept it as issues. Developers are facing issues in reusing the components. Vue.js is like the combination of pros from both as most people quoted it has learned from other libraries(React and angular). Vue is faster than react in most small scale scenarios. But its very simple and makes it easy to learn than any other framework out there. It provides better options where react been better compared to angular while fixing the issues react had. while template support is better which makes code re usability a pro for vue. it doesn't use enforce us to use JSX though it supports. It has two way data binding too. number of lines to do the same thing with these libraries resulted lesser with vue. But its adoption rate is low though its constantly gaining popularity. It has a Chinese background, people believe it wont be having a proper documentation, but documentation is better than react even if its not as good as angular. But it's flexible as much as react do. Few user stories suggest vue is better than react even in complex scenarios though most blogs suggest react as the first option because of its bigger eco system. Vue has a future, obviously it's going to be better and people gonna adapt it more Since our task is not that much complex, we don't have very complicated UI design but this web interface have to be supported by so many new people my selection would be vue.js. Hoping it's very simple code syntax and faster learning helps any new supporter to understand and commit to the project to improve the web application in future. My choice was react by the time i started reading for this comparison. But end up with Vue. But i'm waiting for you comments too to finalize the decision.
