ngAir 79 - ng1 to ng2 Migration with Joe Eames

#Show Notes


Intro


Joe’s background with migrations


Pluralsight course


Refactoring your ng1 app
before migrating to ng2


Component based
architecture


What are the different approaches? 3 options:


Big bang - should only do if
takes a couple weeks, less than 10k lines of code


Leave it alone - Maintain it
in Angular 1


Slowly convert - Angular 1
app that calls Angular 2 for some pieces


Can convert any Angular 2 component into Angular 1 directive


When slowly converting, important to mitigate risk by
doing smaller changesets


Performance


Angular 2 an order of
magnitude faster


Angular 1 is the slow piece


Overhead with cooridination,
but not that much


What to do if no tests in current ng1 app?


Do you need to have two http services running?


What do you think of Angular’s approach to migration
compared to Ember’s?
