AngularJS Drops Old Browsers; Enhances Framework Integration

Google’s AngularJS will be presenting a brand new build soon enough, and though no timeframe has been revealed for its release, details of its goals and mechanics have been making rounds. AngularJS’s high popularity is based on JavaScript framework’s increased functionality in converting static Web content into dynamic content. It’s been noted to enable users to swiftly build Web applications, and also offers quick prototyping. AngularJS 2.0 is promising improved dependency injection, greater flexibility in modularity, and coexistence with other frameworks. ECMAScript 6 JS specifications’ capabilities will be put to use in the new Angular JS build, including enhanced syntax for classes, annotations that will enable programmers to declaratively describe class purposes, as well as a modular loading system for code. AngularJS founder, Misko Hevery, promises an easier coding experience, with the platform also offering asynchronous dependency injection, which will allow users to break up apps into smaller modules. Hard-coded dependencies will this way be removable, with developers being able to change them at run or compile time. Multiple development frameworks will be brought into play, with Angular being able to coexist with other JS systems on the same project: “We really would love to get to a situation where, on a single Web page, you could have multiple frameworks actually cooperating together. In that situation, everyone wins”, Hevery says. Older browsers with limited capability will no longer be compatible with AngularJS, with Microsoft’s IE8 being most likely the first browser to be dropped from AngularJS’s support list. The list of browsers that will be incompatible with AngularJS has not yet been finalized, but those not supporting polyfills are certain to be left behind.
