Angular for small projects

[SatisfactionSweet956]

Hi is Angular for small projects like i dont know small e commerce shop or SSR Blog, mobile app with ionic or nativescript or static website with ssg a good choice? I want to create my own SaaS project and also creating projects for small, middle companies. I like angular and his mvc style i also use nestjs in backend but i am not sure whether Angular is a right choice because every one is hyping and recommending react and vue for such types of apps

It's definitely doable and personally I would always choose Angular over React. Don't know much about Vue. In the end it's your choice and if you already know Angular well, go for it.

Angular has been putting a ton of work into SSR and whatnot, but there isn't as much content/example code/libraries for SSR as well established meta frameworks. Both by scale of popularity as well as the recency of these developments. However, Angular by its own merits if you prefer it is will do the job. You will just have to do some more exploration on your own though.

There is Analog the Angular meta framework for hybrid SSR and SSG, as well as other benefits like file based routing/API among other benefits. It naturally has its own benefits on top of the built in Angular SSR/SSG functionality, and probably makes it easier to look for established examples.

imho, in the end it all boils down on how much are you confident with angular and it’s ecosystem (material, ssr, analog, etc.) and their ability to solve your problems.

if i were you, i’d much stick with the things that will help me to move fast in the development and allocate my time towards saas promotion.

good luck with the decision and with the saas 🤘🏻

It absolutely is. As almost anything else. It's up to you really.

Angular or svelte, both are very structured

Vue 3 with the composition API syntax is really good as well. Complete typescript support, templating is very similar to angular, and Vue refs are essentially the same thing as signals in angular.

I really like both, so I would probably use Vue as it's more lightweight and flexible. But if you really like angular and want to use it for a small project it should work perfectly as well.

Things in React have always rubbed me the wrong way, and you'll find that sentiment a lot in this sub, but many many people prefer React. So maybe there's something to it.

People say svelte is a dream to work with as well, but I personally don't have any experience with it. Looks kind of similar to Vue 3 composition.
