What Hacker News says?
Right now, it's event driven: input triggers an event, event is handled in component, component state is updated. For the one-way case (that I think is pretty awesome): a zone is set up in the component to detect changes locally in the component (even changes in setTimeout) and update the components template only. I think there's room for a 2-way like wrapper for the common input use-case (ala ngModel). Still diggin…

HN discussionOthers have pointed out that it is in fact syntactically valid HTML. It's also worth mentioning that this is syntactic sugar, and you can get the same behavior with: <input type="text" bindon-ng-model="model.name"> Similarly, property bindings surrounded by brackets "[myprop]" and event bindings surrounded by parens "(myevent)" are equivalent to the following: <input type="text" bind-myprop="model.foo" on-myevent="b…

HN discussion>We want to apply values to variables and get the DOM updated. The popular two-way data binding should not be a feature, but a must-have core functionality. Strongly disagree. I find one-way bindings and one-way data flow much easier to reason about. A little less boilerplate code is not worth mental overhead, cascading updates and hunting down the source of wrong data in my experience. What is important is not upda…

HN discussionThis was the case in Angular 1 - in Angular2, not so much. The component-tree structure (much like React) allows far smarter optimization on change detection - both with immutable data structures and observables - entire subtrees of components can be removed from the change detection step until the state notifies it of a change. Good reading material by a team member - http://victorsavkin.com/post/110170125256/chang…

HN discussionWhere's your proof that is simply not true? Every talk where people have done actual benchmarks with has shown otherwise. I have also discussed benchmarking techniques with the main Angular developer in charge of them, as I noticed some statistical issues with the original approach when they started presenting them, and they refined ruthlessly from there. Different people have presented on them - Uri Goldshtein gave…

HN discussionChanges in Angular do not trigger a full re-render. The thing the author is trying to point out is that changes trigger a digest cycle and a digest cycle can (in some situations, not all) take a long time to figure out what has changed. But, once it figures out what has changed, it will only change those specific elements in the DOM. At the end of the day, what we are talking about is Angular 1.x is not as efficient…
