Building a frontend application, what to choose?

Question

Angular

Good afternoon.
The task was to build a web application. With routing and display-receiving data from the backend.
I know JavaScript, I looked in the direction of angular2, they recommend using a typescript with which I am not familiar and there is no time to delve into it yet. How relevant is it to use angularjs or react now, and which one to choose?

Answer 1

Take Angular 1.5. It is much simpler than the zoo from React, you can also do everything with components on it (well, you can’t rivet fat controllers in Angular 1.0, but this brings nothing but pain), there is a lot of training materials (again, one of the drawbacks here is the adequacy of materials, most focused on approaches that were adequate in the 12th year) and at the same time the transition to angular2 will not be so painful later.
As for typescript, it is not very different from javascript (if we are talking about ES2017 stage1 and not ES5.1).
In general, angular2 makes sense for really big applications. For the little ones, there will be a pretty decent overhead, and the presence of small self-sufficient libraries for building applications today saves.

Answer 2

I'm for react (a matter of personal preference). And I advise you to choose what you know. In my opinion, it's easier to get into React than into Angular.
React and Angular can handle this without any problems.
