We all love the flexibility HTMLService gives us when developing Google Workspace Editor Add-ons, but what happens when you need to scale your production? Web application frameworks provide a way to deploy and develop your code in a structured way making it easier to maintain your code base. Angular is one open-source web application framework that can be used to modernize your Workspace Editor Add-on development. In this episode we are joined by Spencer Easton who shares how Amplified IT have adopted Angular for their Add-on development. As part of this we explore the benefits using Angular including a component-based architecture, internationalization and performance.
