Re: Single Page Applications

I'm still learning about all of this, but I do think you can do infinite scrolling with Angular and *not* without returning hundreds of thousands of records all at once. Here's something from IBM DeveloperWorks on the topic:

https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/blogs/3d274f0f-f47a-4bf0-91ec-8ebad479881b/entry/how_to_implement_a_table_with_lazy_loading_infinite_scroll_in_angularjs?lang=en

Here are some other blogs and projects:

http://www.bimeanalytics.com/engineering-blog/infinite-scroll-with-angularjs-and-rails/
http://microblog.anthonyestebe.com/2014-01-11/infinite-scroll-with-angular/
http://lorenzofox3.github.io/lrInfiniteScroll/
http://binarymuse.github.io/ngInfiniteScroll/

I understand not everyone will want to learn and use a framework. That's cool by me.

I don’t think a framework like Angular becomes as popular as it does by being incredibly limiting, dysfunctional, and inefficient. There's something in these frameworks that is attracting a lot of developers.

Thanks,
Kelly

Pretty and functional is just the extra js/jQuery modules in the angular demo. They both parse JSON data and present HTML that is massaged again by jQuery.

Now, do this with a hundred thousand records that could change or be deleted, or new records added at any time. Does it still make sense to build a huge JSON file from your database, load the entire thing and allow js do to pagination and sorting?

Or would it be better to allow your server application to do that, requesting say 30 entries a page (or however many the user chooses) and sorting/searching input each time?

Just food for thought. :)

So how much difference was there in the “time to build”? The Angular
one is clearly prettier and more functional.

Over the weekend I reviewed a couple Angular JS tutorials, one of
which steps through building an SPA which generates a list of smart phones:

As part of my evaluation, I decided to mimic generating the phone
list, using the same JSON data source, but without using a framework:

I think it is a good idea to learn how to do things without a framework.

will help you decide whether the lock-in is worth it.
