Angular V/S Vue V/S React – Choose the Best in 2018

Since JavaScript has already transpired as one of the most popular programming languages, the number of its frameworks and libraries has increased furnishing the developers with maximum potential to build the modern day applications. In order to find out the most suitable framework for your application, you need to go through an in-depth and comparative study evaluating their strengths and limitations.

In this blog, I am sharing my observations regarding the three most prevalent JavaScript frameworks Angular, React and Vue. Let me start with the basic comparison, described in the two tables below:

Strengths and Limitations of Angular, Vue and React

Detailed Comparison

[1] The Component Lifecycle Comparison

Component Lifecycle of Angular

Component Lifecycle of React

Component Lifecycle of Vue

[2] Comparison through Used Cases

• Code Re-usability Comparison

Let’s take a simple component as described below. It is the button, which can be reused with dynamic title over it. To explore how Angular, Vue and React will execute it, please find the code snippets below. Similarly, you can bid the events as well.

Angular component for the button

React component for the button

Vue component for the button

Three of these button components are having almost equal level of reusability. However, when it comes to coupling them with dynamic events, Angular offers much ease of reusability. Vue also offers moderate possibilities of reusing the code whereas React makes the process complex.

• Clean Code Comparison

In order to compare the Code Readability and Clean Code attributes, let’s consider the simple component that can be used to create ProductCard list.

Angular

ProductInterface

ProductService

React

As you can see in above examples, Angular and Vue both have upper hands over React.

Which framework you should choose and when?

Of course, these three frameworks have their own strengths and limitations. You can make choices based on your preferences and requirements. Better, you opt for:

Conclusion

In this blog, I have shared a comparative analysis, encompassing several aspects of Angular, React and Vue. Three of them have their individual characteristics to empower your development process. Additionally, when you are building a complex application, you also need to find out that which framework is valid for the particular application and how will it respond as a part of an integrated technology solution.
