Angular vs Solid.js 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 {}

Solid.js

import { createSignal } from "solid-js";

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

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

Update state

Angular

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  get doubleCount() {
    return this.count * 2;
  }
}

@NgModule({
  declarations: [DoublecountComponent],
  exports: [DoublecountComponent],
})
export class DoublecountModule {}

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

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

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

@NgModule({
  declarations: [HelloworldComponent],
  exports: [HelloworldComponent],
})
export class HelloworldModule {}

Solid.js

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

Styling

Angular

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

@Component({
  selector: "app-cssstyle",
  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 {}

@NgModule({
  declarations: [CssStyleComponent],
  exports: [CssStyleComponent],
})
export class CssStyleModule {}

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

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

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

@NgModule({
  declarations: [ColorsComponent],
  imports: [CommonModule],
  exports: [ColorsComponent],

export class ColorsModule {}

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

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

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

  incrementCount() {
    this.count++;
  }
}

@NgModule({
  declarations: [CounterComponent],
  exports: [CounterComponent],
})
export class CounterModule {}

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>
    </>
  );
