I am trying to build one progressive test app but all the tutorial I have read yet are using native JavaScript. My question is can we use Jquery for writing code more easily and can we use MVC framework angular js for more efficient coding experience?

Is it a good approach or is there any problems with using any one of them or both of them?

Note : Its not about using jquery with angularjs. Its about using angularjs or jquery with progressive web apps.

  • Yes of course you can – Sergio Alen Feb 02 '17 at 07:15
  • You can use jQuery Lite if you use directives. Also, just because you can doesn't mean you should. – Baruch Feb 02 '17 at 07:25

  • AngularJS is not an MVC framework. AngularJS is an an MVW/MV* framework. Take a look at this article, its explain very detailed how to think in AngularJS http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14994391/thinking-in-angularjs-if-i-have-a-jquery-background – lin Feb 02 '17 at 07:59

Progressive web apps are just websites, so technically you can use every framework you want. If you should use them is a whole other question. I won't advice using jQuery or Angular for your developer convenience. For example, if you want to select some elements from code by using $, try something like:

window.$ = function (selector) { return document.querySelectorAll(selector); };

That way you don't need jQuery for that. The same goes for pretty much every framework. Do you really need it? Or is it just bloating your codebase. Always keep in mind you want a reliable, fast and engaging experience. Do the frameworks you use contribute to that?

Progressive web apps are more of an application manifest where you use certain items (like web workers) and cache results that are often used in a way so that the user doesn't have to wait as much time as normally when loading, launching a web application. As an example, think about storing the base64 value of a profile image directly into the user localstorage rather than reloading it every single time from the server, better UX and better server performance, just like that. Also, there are certain elements that can help further the user experience, like Push notifications. To answer your question, yes, you can use any library you want, especially from CDNs so that the loading time would be faster because, as an example, the jQuery library is already in the user cache from previous website visits or possibly on a node nearer to the user than to the actual CND.
