Does using Angular JS to create extensions have any benefits?

[_armoco_]

Hi,

While creating Qlik extensions is there any benefit of using Angular JS to code? So far I've been doing it the classic method (Ex: using 'paint' instead of 'template'). I'm not familiar with Angular as of now so I've no idea if its better this way.

Thanks and Regards,

Arjun

Can someone from Qlik please answer this?

I think No

The advantages of AngularJs over javascript and jQuery are:

• Two way data binding
• Directives
• Dependency injection
• MVC framework
• Easier for single page applications
• (And a lot more..)

There are a lot of blog posts on this topic, if you want to know more. The main concepts are also listed on the Qlik website:

Thank you for taking the time to respond. I am curious though, doesn't Qlik use RequireJS? that's why when you write extensions you have to use

define(['dependencies', function($, qlik, ng) {
  //do stuff here
} ]);

Or am I wrong? How would we use angularJS's async dependency injection?
