Angular JS and ASP.Net - Why is It a Deadly Duo?

ASP.Net MVC is hugely popular among web developers who want to keep the business logic, data and presentation logic. The feature further makes it easier for enterprises to develop complex and large web applications through distributed teams. But programmers often try to save both time and effort by combining ASP.Net with a variety of innovative technologies like Angular JS.

As a client side MVC framework in JavaScript, Angular JS was originally developed by a group of developers at Google. Within a shorter span of time, open source framework become hugely popular among developers due to loads of features and the support of a vibrant community. If you are planning to use Angular JS on top of ASP.Net, it is important to understand what makes it a deadly duo.

What Makes the Combination of Angular JS and ASP.Net Deadly?

Model View View Model (MVVM)
As a new paradigm, MVVM has become hugely popular among web developers within a shorter time span. According to MVVM paradigm, JavaScript is used to make the Model and View stuff exist in the client side. Thus, the Model and View stuffs are not required to be processed on the web server through postbacks. JavaScript frameworks like Angular JS make it easier for programmers to keep the frontend separate from the backend data rendering logic. Angular JS can be used to modify the Model, and make the changes reflect in the View immediately. Likewise, the manual changes or user input to the View will also reflect in the Model immediately.

Inject Parameters into the Controller
Angular JS can also be used on top of ASP.Net MVC to inject parameters like $http and $scope into the Controller. The programmers can place the Model in $scope. Similarly, $http can be used to facilitate low-level HTTP communications. Thus, the programmers can simply call a Web API controller on the server to retrieve list of audio, videos or other content into the $scope. As Angular JS can detect the changes in the Model, it can use {{ }} templates to generate output using the information.

Effectuate Development of Single Page Applications
Many enterprises, nowadays, opt for single page web applications to quickly convey the relevant information to users. The combination of ASP.Net and Angular JS will make it easier for developers to build single page applications. They can further use Visual Studio IDE + Visual Studio Online to create the application by using a set of out of the box tools. Along with an efficient code editor and debugger, they can further avail tools like agile/scrum planning, continuous integration, automated deployment, Git source control ad Windows Azure dev tools. Further, the combination will enable them to optimize the application’s performance by using the required components and libraries provided by a single vendor.

Make the Web Applications Easy to Test
The developer can easily test the web applications by combining Angular JS and ASP.Net MVC. They can use the tools provided by Visual Studio IDE + Visual Studio Online to carry out load testing, unit testing and UI testing in the MS Test. At the same time, they also have option to use a variety of testing frameworks like NUnit. The testing framework can be downloaded directly or through the Nuget Package Manager command. Once the testing framework is installed and configures, testing professionals can run test cases directly from the Test Explorer.

The developers have option to create robust web application by using Angular JS in a number of ways. However, they must remember that meaning of key concepts like Models, Views, Controllers and Routes is different in context of ASP.NET MVC4 framework and Angular JS. So the programmers must understand the differences to create complex web applications by taking advantages of the deadly duo.
