AngularJS end of life

Tysio · ‎02-05-2022

Dear Developers,

Probably some of you know that AngularJS is out of support since January 1 2022.
Did ServiceNow officially confirm which framework will be used in the future for developing widgets?
Should developers start learning Angular (typescript one) or the new solutions would be based on eg. React.js?

Kind Regards
Wojtek

Hi Tysio,

I found the official statement of ServiceNow on this, they will maintain their own version of AngularJS:

Community Members, this post is to call attention to the important info in this Now Support Knowledge Base article (KB0965345):

ServiceNow customers will continue to be able use, build, and deploy AngularJS experiences without any impact, even after Google ends Long Term Support (LTS) on December 31, 2021.

At ServiceNow, we will maintain our own version of AngularJS in support of all ServiceNow experiences and products that depend upon it.

Hi @Tysio

I highly recommend watching the following video which answers your questions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wuli92FRGC0

The short answer: ServiceNow is going to support Service Portal with AngularJS for at least 3 years.

Kind regards

Hi Maik,

Can you share where in the video they talk about this? Is there also some official documentation/written statement on this from ServiceNow? Do we know why they will keep supporting it for an additional 3 years? And what that support looks like?

We need to start learning React that's where the future release component is going to happen and I know they are already doing R&D on a new service portal with domain separation. All with React. The future app development from 2025 would be React
