pheasant VS angular

I was trying to do some web development in Dart, because I have enjoyed the Dart language as of recent. The package management, interop with JavaScript (even though it's been a bit of a pain) and vast number of libraries has made my experience with the language one to truly enjoy.

However, I noticed that Dart could be used for web development, and I was interested in finding out more. I had two options: create a flutter application and render on the web, or go with AngularDart. Flutter is the main framework most people use and is the first thing that usually comes to mind when people talk about Dart. However, it really hasn't had much focus on the web, and of course this has made it a bit far from the perfect choice for writing web applications that can compete with others. AngularDart is also a very good option, but I haven't really been much of a fan of Angular, and I've usually preferred using a component based framework that brings your JavaScript (or Dart in this case) into your HTML - much like Vue or Svelte.

Then I found a new web framework that recently came out named - Pheasant. It was exactly something like what I was looking for - component-based, feature-rich, and it compiles to Dart Code using the Dart Build System (the build system developed by Dart that AngularDart uses), so there is no virtual DOM. The framework makes it easy to write web applications by using the power and performance of Dart. The component files look much like what you would find in Vue and Svelte, except there are no hidden or extra keywords, meaning that you can write plain dart code and it would render. You could also work with dart files seamlessly, and has first-hand support for Sass and SCSS. One feature I found enjoyable and one that will make me to continuously utilize the framework is its ability to render Markdown Code (makes static site generation easy).

The framework may not be a heavyweight like those in the JavaScript world because of the differences in programming between Dart and JavaScript, but when it comes to web development and being able to utilize the performance of dart, as well as the dart ecosystem, the framework does prove to be a very useful tool in creating quick and simple web applications. The framework even promises to work for both Dart and JavaScript developers by creating their own JavaScript pipeline to reduce dart2js compilation on JavaScript components.

If you want to check out more on the framework, as well as it's source code, you can go to github: https://github.com/pheasantframework/pheasant

AngularJS (UI framework built in JavaScript): open (last commit: Apr 12 2022), unsupported Angular 2 to 12 (UI framework built in TypeScript): open, unsupported Angular 13 to 15 (UI framework built in TypeScript): open, supported until May 4 2023, Nov 11 2023 and May 18 2024 AngularDart (UI framework build in Dart): open (last commit: Oct 7 2021?, Today?), supported by community?, they say no Flutter 1: open (last commit: Mar 30 2022), unsupported Flutter 2: open (last commit: Apr 18 2022?), couldn't find if still supported, I assume unsupported Flutter 3: open (last commit: Today), supported

eh.. kinda

Angular Dart. https://pub.dev/packages/angular It seems to be unmaintained, but for a personal project it can fit your needs.

And other related packages are being related now https://github.com/angulardart/angular/releases

development is on branch google https://github.com/angulardart/angular/commits/google

"Angular DART" might be "AngularDart";

By the same mechanism as in the first approach, the custom or default content will be rendered by SlotRendererComponent. The reason why this solution is not working is due to @ContentChildren not being able to query nested ng-contents. Setting { descendants: true } also did not work for me. I found an issue describing the problem for the AngularDart repository so maybe it is related (or I am doing something wrong here ;) ).

2-Dart : Dart Code extends VS Code with support for the Dart programming language and provides tools for effectively editing, refactoring, running, and reloading Flutter mobile apps, and AngularDart web apps.

Let's start with some words about the language. I honestly didn't like Dart at the beginning, when I first read about it some years ago. Dart started as a language that compiled to Javascript, and was advertised as a nice integration to the web ecosystem, especially to Angular, which is still there but not being actively recommended by the AngularDart team.
