Angular Renaissance vs Solid.js Comparison

Reactivity

Declare state

Angular Renaissance

import { Component, signal } from "@angular/core";

@Component({
  selector: "app-name",
  template: `<h1>Hello {{ name() }}</h1>`,
})
export class NameComponent {
  name = signal("John");
}

Solid.js

import { createSignal } from "solid-js";

export default function Name() {
  const [name] = createSignal("John");

  return <h1>Hello {name()}</h1>;
}

Update state

Angular Renaissance

import { Component, signal } from "@angular/core";

@Component({
  selector: "app-name",
  template: `<h1>Hello {{ name() }}</h1>`,
})
export class NameComponent {
  name = signal("John");

  constructor() {
    this.name.set("Jane");
  }
}

Solid.js

import { createSignal } from "solid-js";

export default function Name() {
  const [name, setName] = createSignal("John");
  setName("Jane");

  return <h1>Hello {name()}</h1>;
}

Computed state

Angular Renaissance

import { Component, computed, signal } from "@angular/core";

@Component({
  selector: "app-double-count",
  template: `<div>{{ doubleCount() }}</div>`,
})
export class DoubleCountComponent {
  count = signal(10);

  doubleCount = computed(() => this.count() * 2);
}

Solid.js

import { createSignal } from "solid-js";

export default function DoubleCount() {
  const [count] = createSignal(10);
  const doubleCount = () => count() * 2;

  return <div>{doubleCount()}</div>;
}

Templating

Minimal template

Angular Renaissance

import { Component } from "@angular/core";

@Component({
  selector: "app-hello-world",
  template: `<h1>Hello world</h1>`,
})
export class HelloWorldComponent {}

Solid.js

export default function HelloWorld() {
  return <h1>Hello World!</h1>;
}

Styling

Angular Renaissance

import { Component } from "@angular/core";

@Component({
  selector: "app-css-style",
  template: `
    <h1 class="title">I am red</h1>
    <button style="font-size: 10rem">I am a button</button>
  `,
  styles: `
    .title {
      color: red;
    }
  `,
})
export class CssStyleComponent {}

Solid.js

import "./style.css";

export default function CssStyle() {
  return (
    <>
      <h1 class="title">I am red</h1>
      <button style={{ "font-size": "10rem" }}>I am a button</button>
    </>
  );
}

Loop

Angular Renaissance

import { Component } from "@angular/core";

@Component({
  selector: "app-colors",
  template: `
    <ul>
      @for (color of colors; track color) {
      <li>{{ color }}</li>
      }
    </ul>
  `,
})
export class ColorsComponent {
  colors = ["red", "green", "blue"];
}

Solid.js

import { For } from "solid-js";

export default function Colors() {
  const colors = ["red", "green", "blue"];

  return (
    <ul>
      <For each={colors}>{(color) => <li>{color}</li>}</For>
    </ul>
  );
}

Event click

Angular Renaissance

import { Component, signal } from "@angular/core";

@Component({
  selector: "app-counter",
  template: `
    <p>Counter: {{ count() }}</p>
    <button (click)="incrementCount()">+1</button>
  `,
})
export class CounterComponent {
  count = signal(0);

  incrementCount() {
    this.count.update((count) => count + 1);
  }
}

Solid.js

import { createSignal } from "solid-js";

export default function Counter() {
  const [count, setCount] = createSignal(0);

  function incrementCount() {
    setCount(count() + 1);
  }

  return (
    <>
      <p>Counter: {count()}</p>
      <button onClick={incrementCount}>+1</button>
    </>
  );
}

DOM ref

Angular Renaissance

import {
  afterNextRender,
  Component,
  ElementRef,
  viewChild,
} from "@angular/core";

@Component({
  selector: "app-input-focused",
  template: `<input type="text" #inputRef />`,
})
export class InputFocusedComponent {
  inputRef = viewChild.required<ElementRef<HTMLInputElement>>("inputRef");

  constructor() {
    afterNextRender({ write: () => this.inputRef().nativeElement.focus() });
  }
}

Solid.js

import { onMount } from "solid-js";

export default function InputFocused() {
  let inputElement;

  onMount(() => inputElement.focus());

  return <input ref={inputElement} type="text" />;
}

Conditional

Angular Renaissance

import { Component, computed, signal } from "@angular/core";

const TRAFFIC_LIGHTS = ["red", "orange", "green"];

@Component({
  selector: "app-traffic-light",
  template: `
    <button (click)="nextLight()">Next light</button>
    <p>Light is: {{ light() }}</p>
    <p>
      You must @switch (light()) { @case ("red") {

  light = computed(() => TRAFFIC_LIGHTS[this.lightIndex()]);

  nextLight() {
    this.lightIndex.update((index) => (index + 1) % TRAFFIC_LIGHTS.length);
  }

Solid.js

import { createSignal, Switch, Match } from "solid-js";

const TRAFFIC_LIGHTS = ["red", "orange", "green"];

export default function TrafficLight() {
  const [lightIndex, setLightIndex] = createSignal(0);

  const light = () => TRAFFIC_LIGHTS[lightIndex()];

  }

  return (
    <>
      <button onClick={nextLight}>Next light</button>
      <p>Light is: {light()}</p>
      <p>
        You must
