Every framework you’ve ever seen is really just an echo of this statement:
My language sucks!

Ehi guys, if I would need to have data binding without using Angular/React or whatever, what do you suggest?

You shouldn't go frameworkless but...

"Defend" yourself from Frameworks

What parts of a framework are really important for your project?

@Component(...)
export class MyComponent implements OnInit {
 
  results: string[];
 
  constructor(private http: HttpClient) {}
 
  ngOnInit(): void {
    this.http.get('/api/items').subscribe(data => {
      this.results = data['results'];
    });
  }
}
@Component(...)
export class MyComponent implements OnInit {
 
  results: string[];
  
  ngOnInit(): void {
    window.fetch('/api/items')
        .then(r => r.json())
        .(data => {
          this.results = data['results'];
        });
  }
}

The right architecture should be defined by your features...

Let the need for a framework to emerge

Sometimes you need to build your own wheels
