Abstract

The goal of this article was to perform analysis of usability possibilities of frontend framework AngularJS compared to native programming language JavaScript, on which it is based on. Several framework funcionalities were chosen and set together with self implemented solutions in JavaScript. Comparison was made according to specified criteria: usage simplicity, possibilities of utilization and reusability. Created scripts confirm accepted assumptions, that in JavaScript it is possible to write simplified and reusable implementations of useful mechanisms, which are present in AngularJS.
