Helpful Modules for Developing with AngularJS

AngularJS is a development framework for JavaScript like Meteor, Ember, or Backbone. This means that it’s an open-source development toolkit and environment that developers can use to facilitate cross browser and cross-platform development. Angular is owned and operated by Google, along with volunteers from the scripting community who are invested in its status as an open-source development tool.

Angular is currently one of the most popular JavaScript frameworks out there, and its used for web development by huge corporations such as Walgreens, Intel, Sprint, NBC, ABC News, and nearly 8,400 other websites out there. In this article, we’re going to be talking about a number of modules that are useful as extensions to AngularJS developers for robust development environment. We’ll go through each of these modules and talk a little bit about how each of them function, what they do, and how they might be able to improve your Angular-based development.

Angular UI
Angular UI
Angular UI bills itself as a “companion suite for Angular.js.” It’s mostly a set of graphical and user interface based upgrades that focus on how things look and move more than how they perform. This makes it pretty useful as a way of organizing information and work on projects into a format that users will ultimately find enjoyable to use.

File Upload
Angular File Upload is a neat little tool that makes uploading files work quickly and smoothly. It installs an interface that allows users to drag and drop content they’d like to upload into their project. It uses an ajax call for this function and it’s a very easy to use and lightweight directive tool.

Ng Table
NgTable is a sorting and filtering table. This means that it can be used to aggregate large lists of data into a format that can be tracked by various qualitative measures with ease. It supports a bunch of features, such as variable row heights, customizable pagination, and many others.

 Formly
Formly
Angular Formly is a module-based directive that lets users customize and render forms that were originally configured in JavaScript or JSON. It has pretty unmatched capability for maintaining forms, and it’s one of the best form configuration tools out there. If you think you might need to use forms that were originally configured in other systems, this is the module to help you do it.

Restangular
Restangular is a module that deals, unsurprisingly, with the Rest API in Angular. Many developers have experienced challenges with using $resource and $http when trying to access rest features. For this reason, the Restangular module is a method of self-support that can link elements and improve usage over all through advanced resting functions.

Loading bar
Loading bar
JavaScript doesn’t support any animated content on its own, but frameworks and extensions have the capability to add that kind of thing to JavaScript projects. Angular loading bar is a simple module that adds a fully-animated and automatic loading or progress bar to projects that you’re developing. The best thing about it is that it functions automatically as long as you hook it up correctly, so it’s very simple to use.

Angular Gettext
This module was developed as a method for localization. It’s very easy to use, it’s got a simple and clean interface, and it can be plugged into web apps and other projects at a moment’s notice.

Additionally, it handles translations related to its features, which means that it can be pretty much left alone to run by itself, leaving you to focus on your actual work.

TextAngular
TextAngular
Text editors are kind of the bread and butter of development toolkits. After all, they’re where you write and structure all your code among other things. TextAngular is a powerful text editor that’s specialized for Angular in ways that other editors really can’t compare to. It boasts features like creating multiple editor instances, two-way binding HTML content, and watching editors for changes, among others.

Angular Breadcrumb
As its name suggests, Angular-breadcrumb is a module that’s focused around generating breadcrumbs for application pages. It’s got a nice and simple style, and it’s heavily based in a hierarchical tree of states, along with the ui-framework that is natural to Angular.

Angular Google Maps
Angular Google Maps
Google maps is one of the most impressive and fully-featured map software out there. Angular Google Maps adds Google Maps as a module to an existing project, which is incredibly useful for many different types of projects. This is possible, of course, because Google runs Angular.

NgProgress.js
Another progress bar module, ngProgress.js adds a small loading bar at the top of the screen. If you’ve used Google Chrome recently, it’s the same very slim red loading bar that’s become common on sites like YouTube.

Angular.js datepicker
A very simple but robust module, Datepicker is a module that adds a simple calendar into your project. It’s an easy directive to use and implement, and it adds features like reminders and alarms as well as the calendar.

Angular treeview
Angular treeview
The last module we’ll talk about here is one that’s useful as an organizational tool. Treeview is a module that lets you see descending folders organized into the tree structure that’s common to the file directories of systems like Windows. This is a nice and familiar way of organization that can really improve productivity if it’s what you’re used to.

Because Angular is such a widely used framework, there are tons of modules out there and plenty the ones that we’ve covered here are really just a tiny sample. Hopefully, this list will inspire you to browse for more modules or even create your own!
