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.

We don't have to wait for ServiceNow to come up with an alternative. We already have all the ingredients we need!

The Reactor app enables you to build and deliver React applications directly from a ServiceNow instance. No need for an external development environment or pre-compilation. You can ship apps or individual components as part of your scoped apps. It also supports JSX.

This may bring ServiceNow frontend development to the next level.
