Angular vs Lit Comparison

Reactivity

Declare state

Angular

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

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

@NgModule({
  declarations: [NameComponent],
  exports: [NameComponent],
})
export class NameModule {}

Lit

import { LitElement, html } from "lit";
import { customElement, state } from "lit/decorators.js";

@customElement("x-name")
export class XName extends LitElement {
  @state()
  name = "John";

  render() {
    return html`<h1>Hello ${this.name}!</h1>`;
  }
}

Update state

Angular

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

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

@NgModule({
  declarations: [NameComponent],
  exports: [NameComponent],
})
export class NameModule {}

Lit

import { LitElement, html } from "lit";
