While we are about to step in 2019 soon, everyone is predicting what are the next web development trends going to be there, as Web Development is rapidly evolving and changing. We saw plenty of JavaScript Framework trends in 2018 and some of which we are going to carry forward and some new trends are predicted for 2019

If you want to build a better audience in terms of numbers and quality and generate improved sales by extracting all the benefits of the web, you need to be part of the most modern Web Development trends of JavaScript Frameworks.

Here, we have picked some of the JavaScript frameworks that you should know in 2019 to stay ahead and more approachable.

Front-End Frameworks:

1. Vue.js

VueJs is relatively new and is gaining a lot of traction among the community of developers. VueJs works with MVVM design paradigm and has a very simple API. VueJs demonstrate minimalism to the extreme and allows you to use selective modules, as required. VueJS is inspired by AngularJS, ReactJS, knockoutJS and RivetsJS and updates model and view via two-way data binding. While Vue is not in the league of Angular or Ember but conceptually has all the potential to be the JavaScript framework of future and hold respectable market share. It is holding the ground firmly after 10 months of its release and getting regular updates by the creator, Evan You. it has been declared as the most popular front-end JavaScript framework on GitHub with 40K stars.

2. Angular.js

AngularJS, the baby of Google, is the big daddy of JavaScript frameworks. It currently boasts the biggest community of developers and is the most used JavaScript framework for developing Single Page Web Applications. AngularJS framework gives superpowers to HTML by adding all the necessary features required to build dynamic views (interactive user interface).

It gives the option to extend HTML attributes by the use of Angular directives. Two-way data binding is at the core of Angular.js. This essentially takes away all the pain of writing manual code for DOM manipulation. Angular 2 final version was released on 2016. It was completely re-written, also focused for mobile apps development and was a big success. From 2016 to 2018 it has graduated further to Angular 6 as a great improvement over old. Angular 7 is slated to be released in September or October 2018. It is almost guaranteed to become the enterprise framework of choice once it is released.

  3. React.js

React.js JavaScript Framework is behind the user interface of Facebook as well and Instagram. This gives us a quick idea about how powerful is ReactJS in building large-scale applications of extreme dynamic nature. ReactJS is best at rendering complex user interfaces with high performance. The basic fundamental behind React is the concept of virtual DOM. ReactJS utilizes a virtual DOM, which can be rendered either at client side or server side and communicate back and forth. The community is growing rapidly ever since its release and I must say it is the fastest growing JavaScript framework as of today. One can find tons of resources, tutorials and React component libraries to get going within no time.

4. Ember.js

Ember.JS is another powerful MVC JavaScript framework. Ember is used on many popular websites, including Discourse, Groupon, LinkedIn, Vine, Live Nation, Nordstrom, Twitch.tv and Chipotle. Although primarily considered a framework for the web, it is also possible to build desktop and mobile applications in Ember. The most notable example of an Ember desktop application is Apple Music.

EmberJS competes with the likes of Angular and React when it comes to building interactive frontend user interfaces and also has a very active community of developers. Ember also rides on the principle of two-way data binding like AngularJS. Ember targets the best of both AngularJS (two-way data binding) and ReactJS (server-side rendering). In the next 12 months, the framework is set to change beyond recognition. One would argue this is a positive & exciting problem to have. Of course, it is. By 2019, I have no doubt our framework will have been virtually reborn, offering a new & improved developer experience for those who already appreciate Ember, whilst also being capable of compelling React/Angular/Vue developers to dip their toes into the Ember ecosystem. However, for those existing Ember developers, there’s a long road of instability ahead.

Back-End Frameworks:

1. Express JS:

When we google for Node.js web frameworks, surely we come across Express.js very often. Express.js is among the top Node.js frameworks. Used for an efficient platform for building robust applications and APIs, Its one of the four components of the well-known MEAN stack (MongoDB, Express, Angular, and Node.js) which is a toolset that is very frequently used for building web applications. Here Express serves as a middleware between the front-end, database, and back-end of an application.

It is very flexible and lightweight and offers excellent possibilities in terms of using plugins, extensions and third-party databases. Express.js is often referred to as the server framework for Node.js, as it creates an HTTP server for Node.js and supports the middleware functionality needed to respond to the HTTP requests. It has a superb set of documentation and enjoys great community support.

2. Sails.JS

Sails.JS make it easy to build custom, enterprise-grade Node.js apps. It is designed to mimic the MVC pattern of frameworks like Ruby on Rails, but with support for the requirements of modern apps: data-driven APIs with scalable, service-oriented architecture. It’s especially good for building chat, real time dashboards, or multiplayer games. It is popular in developers as it holds many ends for them in developing.

Last but not the least :

Meteor.js

MeteorJS is the magical isomorphic(Isomorphic JavaScript, also known as Universal JavaScript, describes JavaScript applications which run both on the client and the server.)  full stack platform for building an end to end mobile and web applications completely in JavaScript at lightning speed. MeteorJS is the power player and comes equipped with all the features you need for frontend rendering, backend development, business logic and database management. The best thing about MeteorJS is that you use only JavaScript for an end to end application development, no need to invest time learning anything else.

Meteor.JS is modular and the packages and libraries can be used on demand. The server-side packages run in the node.js and you do not need anything else but MeteorJS packages to access the database, all in JavaScript, this makes MeteorJS applications real time web applications. MeteorJS ecosystem has grown huge at rapid pace and the community too is vibrant and helpful.
