*This picture have been retouched
the actual speaker may look different

I AM NOT GOING TO TALK ABOUT
- TypeScript
- Angular2 upgrade module
- Ng-forward library
- Data flow (Redux, RxJs)
- Angular 1.5 new Component API

DON’T FORCE
ANGULAR1 TO
BEHAVE LIKE
ANGULAR2

IT WILL IMPROVE
YOUR APP DESIGN

AND GET YOU
READY FOR THE
FUTURE

I WILL TALK ABOUT
- Embracing Modules
- Using Classes
- Decoupling from Framework API
- Components as UI building blocks

THAT YOU CAN
COMPLETE IN
ONE SPRINT

USE A MODULE LOADER
Integrate a module bundler and an ES6
compiler to use javaScript modules.

EVERYTHING
IS A CLASS
$ git checkout 02_classes

MOVE FORWARD TO ES6
You can adopt the new syntax slowly. Start
by using classes instead of functions.
http://babeljs.io/

old storage.service.js
export function Storage () { 
 
 
}; 
 
}; 
}

export class Storage {

this.ORDERS_KEY = "ORDERS"; 
}

this.store.setItem(this.ORDERS_KEY, JSON.stringify(orders))

}

old paid-orders.filter.js
export function paidOrders() {
 
return function (orders) { 
return orders.filter(order => order.paid === false) 
}
 
}
import {paidOrders} from './paid-orders.filter'; 
 
export default angular.module('filters', []) 
.filter('paidOrders',paidOrders);
old filters.module.js

const result = $window.confirm("Clear History?");

MORE JAVASCRIPT LESS ANGULAR
Bind to the controller instance, use setters
for watching changes, free yourself from
$scope events

WATCH CHANGES

SHALLOW WATCH?
JUST USE SETTERS.

DEEP WATCHING?
THINK IMMUTABLE.
