NgModule Properties in Angular 2


NgModule is a decorator function that takes a single metadata object whose properties describe the module. The most important properties are:

declarations – the view classes that belong to this module. Angular has three kinds of view classes: components, directives, and pipes.
exports – the subset of declarations that should be visible and usable in the component templates of other modules.
imports – other modules whose exported classes are needed by component templates declared in this module.
providers – creators of services that this module contributes to the global collection of services; they become accessible in all parts of the app.
bootstrap – the main application view, called the root component, that hosts all other app views. Only the root module should set this bootstrap property.

Angular 2 Features


Angular 2 is a opensource javascript framework developed by developers at google. This framework is used to build the single page applications. Angular 2 has been built by considering the difficulties faced in Angular 1 and Angular 2 removes the obstucles in building single page applications.

Blow are the special features of Angular 2:

Components − Angular 2 is a componenent based framework where as Angular 1 is Controller based framework. Components help to build the applications into many modules. This helps in better maintaining the application over a period of time.

TypeScript − Angular 2 is based on TypeScript(a language for application scale JavaScript development). This is a superset of JavaScript that compiles to clean JavaScript output.

Services − Services are a set of code that can be shared by different components of an application. So for example if you had a data component that picked data from a database, you could have it as a shared service that could be used across multiple applications.

List of Java script MVC Frameworks


While the Internet is growing up, more demand for Rich Internet applications is growing proportionally. The end user always expecting have the best look and feel, at the same time expecting the larger functionalities with the minor actions made on the application pages.

Java script plays the major role in achieving these goals. When the more logic ends up being executed in the browser, JavaScript front-end code bases grow larger and more difficult to maintain. The way to solve this issue, developers have been turning to MVC frameworks which promise increased productivity and maintainable code.

There are many MVC based java script frameworks have been came into opensource market in the last decade, which helps the developer to build the Rich Internet Applications easy.

Listed below are the few MVC based java script frameworks.

  • ExtJS: Provides powerful big data grids, a modern theme, and plugin-free charting apart from the basic functionalities.Backbone.js: Provides models with key-value binding and custom events, collections, and connects it all to your existing API over a RESTful JSON interface.
  • AngularJS: AngularJS is provide by the Google into internet market. It is a toolset based on extending the HTML vocabulary for your application. It is 100% JavaScript, 100% client side and compatible with both desktop and mobile browsers.
  • Ember.js: As stated on the Ember.js website, Ember.js is “a JavaScript framework for creating ambitious web applications that eliminates boilerplate and provides a standard application architecture”. Provides template written in the Handlebars templating language, views, controllers, models and a router.
  • Knockout: It aims to simplify JavaScript UIs by applying the Model-View-View Model (MVVM) pattern.
  • Agility.js: Using Agility JS, you can write maintainable and reusable browser code without the verbose or infrastructural overhead found in other MVC libraries.
  • CanJS: Focuses on striking a balance between size, ease of use, safety, speed and flexibility. CanJS’s core supports jQuery, Zepto, Dojo, YUI and Mootools.
  • Spine: Spine js a lightweight framework that strives to have the most friendly documentation for any JavaScript framework available.
  • ExtJS: Provides powerful big data grids, a modern theme, and plugin-free charting apart from the basic functionalities.
  • Sammy.js: A small JavaScript framework developed to provide a basic structure for developing JavaScript applications.
  • rAppid.js: Lets you encapsulate complexity into components which can be easy used like HTML elements in your application. It uses a Shadow DOM, which is rendered as valid HTML in the document body or a specific target.
  • Serenade.js: Define templates and render them, handing in a controller and a model to the template. It will get the values from the model and update them dynamically as the model changes. It can be integrated into an existing applications, it plays well with all existing JavaScript code.
  • Kendo UI: Contains the rich jQuery-based widgets, a simple and consistent programming interface, a rock-solid DataSource, validation, internationalization, a MVVM framework, themes, templates and etc.
