有的程式員和我讨論其現在的前端架構時，說Angular比UI5進階，因為前者支援雙向綁定。
然而UI5也是支援雙向綁定的，看下面這張圖裡Data Binding->Two way data binding一覽，SAP UI5和Angular一樣都是支援的哦：
并且有代碼為證：
實際上，我專門在SAP社群上寫過一篇文章，詳細比較了Angular和UI5資料雙向綁定的差異：
I first list a comparison from my point of view and will illustrate it in detail.
I use the following simple Angular application which only contains 11 lines to demonstrate the data binding implementation of Angular.
Here I have a input element marked with attribute ‘ng-model=”name”‘, which means I tell Angular that I have declared a data model with name “name”. Then for “Hello {undefined{name}}”, it is actually a template and I tell Angular to render the page with static text “Hello” plus the actual content of input field.
You can test the application here. Every time you type something in the input field, the characters you have typed will be displayed after “Hello”:
In this blog, I will explain how these 11 lines of codes have implemented the data binding feature, with the help of Angular framework code.
When you launch the application for the first time, the application will look like below. Although you only saw blank field in input field and initial value after “Hello”, some logic has already been executed under the hood. I will first introduce how the initial value is rendered in html page.
How initial value is rendered in html page
Like UI5, Angular has also its bootstrap phase. During this phase, Angular will traverse the HTML DOM tree. Once it detects the input element marked with attribute “ng-model”, it will create a watch object for current scope:
The watcher object is just an object consisting of several functions. So far the last attribute points to a function, and the function get is used to extract value from data model.
And you have already noticed that although we do not explicitly specify event handler for input field, however it can still react to our input. Why? Angular framework has registered a listener on input event for us. We will go through the implementation of listener later. So now for the input element, we have one watcher and one listener.
Again a second watcher is created for text node, “Hello {{name}}”. So now we have two watchers created ans stored in watchers array of current scope object.
Still in bootstrap phase, the function $apply of scope is called.
Within this function, there is a DO loop to handle all watcher object of current scope one by one:
Since I haven’t typed anything in input field, I have only the static text “Hello” to be displayed:
Before line 5624 is executed:
After executed:
So far, the initial page display logic is introduced.
How the value from Input field can flow to Hello text field
Now I have typed “A” in input field:
Since I have explained previously that Angular has registered a listener for input field, so now it is called:
In this event handler, scope.$apply will be called.
You still remember the fact that all watchers will be handled within scope.$apply? This time, the input character “A” is extracted from input field as model:
Since now the template “Hello {undefined{name}}” has already been filled with actual value, it is ready to render it:
After line 5624 is executed, you will see “Hello A” in UI:
