Why is AngularJS and ASP.Net Considered a Good Combination?

Before discussing the efficacy of the combination of AngularJS and ASP.Net, let us at first discuss about them individually and then shift our discussion to the combination of the two.

AngularJS

Web application development is a complex process and in order to make the process trifle easier, a number of frameworks have been operational of late. Some of these applications have tasted success, while some others have not. AngularJS is one such application that has been quite successful. It is simple, yet effective, especially when it comes to providing a declaration markup, in which the intent of the user is expressed through the custom syntax of HTLM and the customary data bindings. It is also compatible with dependency injection, mostly because AngularJS supports robust testing. AngularJS employs‘$http’ for the purpose of loading files, with the use of its very own jQuery version, which is much lightweight. In case a project has a jQuery copy already installed, Angular will opt for that version and use it so as to be consistent, leading to the smooth as well as seamless execution of the project.

ASP.Net

ASP.Net on the other hand is a stout as well as extremely mature platform that helps in designing and developing enterprise-level web applications. It is exceptionally mature in terms of .Net runtime. Besides, it can easily be comprehended. This is what makes it so popular amongst the developers. The framework provides a fairly healthy as well as user-friendly abstraction over various web based protocols that include the web APIs. It also provides a healthy software testing story.

Mixing ASP.Net with AngularJS

Now let us come to the discussion that involves the efficacy of using both these two frameworks together, on a single product. It is fairly easy to use both Dot Net as well as AngularJS, by simply using ASP.Net MVC4 template, and then following it up by importing angularjs nugget. The process involves a lot of technicalities though mentioning them at this point does not make any sense, given the topic of the discussion.

However, one thing that needs to be mentioned is that there is all the probability of running into the technical details of dealing with AngularJS routing, in order to partially display the HTML pages, which remain embedded in the server itself.

It is pretty simple as well as fairly advantageous to mix these two technologies as they both are compatible to MVC framework with the only difference being, while one is a client side validation (AngularJS) the other favors server side validation (ASP.Net) though practically speaking there is no such “one-choice-fits-all” solution.

Experts are of the opinion that usage of AngularJS usage cannot be regarded as a unique approach. If the users opt only to utilize the functionality of the two frameworks simultaneously that is not only a possibility, but that helps in creating the “apps” directory under the Scripts folder for the project in question, and that in turn goes a long way in helping to organize the files involved in the project, thereby increasing the maneuverability by many folds.

The combination or collaboration of ASP.Net Web API (which is a server-side technology) and AngularJS (which is a client side framework), works on .NET web stack and is widely acceptable by the developers. Since, the majority of application logic has moved on to the browser from the back end. This at the end of the day results in a much richer and much superior client interface, specially for the single page apps, which need an application structure that is very different from the ones needed by the traditional websites. For making the Angular.JS and Dot Net combination work along with MVC, it is imperative to utilize the HTML5 local as well as the locations of the session storage. You can get in touch with a custom .net development company who can help you develop web apps that are stable, scalable and secure.
