Adopt Angular for Frontend Development #

Context #

We need a robust frontend framework that can support the development of our large-scale web applications. The framework should have strong community support, comprehensive tooling, and the ability to integrate well with our existing backend services.

Decision #

After evaluating several options, including React, Vue.js, and Angular, we have decided to adopt Angular for the following reasons:

• Comprehensive Tooling: Angular comes with a complete suite of tools, including a powerful CLI, which streamlines the development process.
• Strong Typing with TypeScript: Angular’s use of TypeScript helps in catching errors early in the development cycle and makes the code more maintainable.
• Suitability for Large-Scale Applications: Angular’s modular architecture and extensive built-in features make it well-suited for large, complex applications.

Consequences #

• Positive:
  • Improved code quality and maintainability due to TypeScript.
  • Enhanced productivity with Angular’s CLI and built-in tools.
  • Better performance and scalability for large applications.
• Negative:
  • Steeper learning curve for developers new to Angular.
  • Potential refactoring of existing codebases to integrate with Angular.
