Which Adobe product to choose when using Angular 4?

[marknorgate]

We are about to embark on a large-ish cross-platform product (web, desktop, mobile, etc.), and am wondering which of the various Adobe products might be suitable for the designers to produce HTML that is easily incorporated into a technology such as Angular 4. My main concern is having to rewrite the wiring-up code of Angular 4 everytime the design changes.

In addition, one of my pet hates is implementing animations — either in CSS or using Angular's animation support on components — and would like to know if one of the products, such as Muse, XD, Dreamweaver, will allow a designer to create animations from which a developer can easily extract the CSS and apply to the HTML within Angular.

I have watched a lot of videos on the Adobe site but am still not sure what I should be recommending to the project manager in these respects. Can anyone give a brief explanation of the options I have?

Thanks, Mark

Hi there

Thanks for your reply, but II am already quite happy with the IDE I use to develop in Angular 4. I use JetBrains WebStorm, but I am a developer and I would like to know which tool is best for a visual designer to use such that the HTML and easily be incorporated into my Angular app without too much rework when the design changes.

you can use animate cc to create html5/canvas animations but i don't know how 'easy' you will find it to incorporate that into an angular project.

Well you're not going to be using Animate CC then. Animate is based entirely on the HTML5 canvas element, not CSS animation. Maybe Edge Animate would be more suitable to your needs (though it's no longer actively supported).
