Recently, I discovered that I can also build and use popups to enhance my application&#8217;s user experience, grow my email list, and improve click-through rates.<\/p>\n<p>This revelation led me to explore the different options available for creating popups compared to AngularJS.<\/p>\n<p>In this blog, I will discuss the two methods for creating popups &#8211; using AngularJS&#8217;s popup builder (bootstrap UI) and utilizing a standardized popup tool like\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.picreel.com\/\">Picreel<\/a>. Here&#8217;s an example of what my Picreel popup looks like in AngularJS:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9999\" src=\"https:\/\/www.picreel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/PP_PIC_-angularjs-campaign-popup.jpg\" alt=\"angularjs campaign popup\" width=\"1076\" height=\"659\" \/><\/p>\n<p>But does AngularJS allow you to create popups? Yes, AngularJS does offer popups. By comparing the two approaches, I will provide insights on the better method and guide you through the step-by-step process of creating popups using both approaches.<\/p>\n<p>Now, let&#8217;s delve into the comparison between AngularJS&#8217;s own popup and Picreel based on the following criteria:<\/p>\n<div id=\"tablepress-180-scroll-wrapper\" class=\"tablepress-scroll-wrapper\">\n\n<table id=\"tablepress-180\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-180 tablepress-responsive\">\n<thead>\n<tr class=\"row-1 odd\">\n\t<th class=\"column-1\">Criteria<\/th><th class=\"column-2\">AngularJS Popup<\/th><th class=\"column-3\">Picreel Popup<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody class=\"row-hover\">\n<tr class=\"row-2 even\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Popup Support<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">\u274c AngularJS does not offer built-in support for creating and displaying popups.<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">\u2705 Picreel offers a robust popup solution with customizable designs and triggers.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-3 odd\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">A\/B Testing<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">\u274c AngularJS does not include native functionality for A\/B testing popups.<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">\u2705 Picreel provides A\/B testing capabilities to compare and optimize popup designs.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-4 even\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Activity Tracking<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">\u274c AngularJS does not have built-in tracking features specifically for popups.<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">\u2705 Picreel offers activity tracking to monitor metrics such as conversions and clicks related to popups.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-5 odd\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Audience Targeting<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">\u274c AngularJS does not provide native options for targeting specific audiences with popups.<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">\u2705 Picreel enables audience targeting based on behavior, location, and other criteria to deliver personalized popups.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-6 even\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Campaign Analytics<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">\u274c AngularJS does not have integrated analytics for tracking popup performance.<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">\u2705 Picreel provides detailed analytics, including impressions, conversion rates, and click-through rates, to measure the effectiveness of popup campaigns.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n<\/div><!-- #tablepress-180 from cache -->\n<p>Based on my experience, I highly recommend using Picreel for creating popups due to the following top three reasons:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>No-code builder:<\/strong> Unlike AngularJS, which requires you to have substantial coding experience, Picreel lets you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.picreel.com\/blog\/how-to-create-pop-up-ads\/\">create popups<\/a> easily with zero codes, intuitive interface, and quick customization. No coding is required whatsoever.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Better customization:<\/strong>\u00a0With Picreel, you have extensive customization options, enabling you to tailor your popups to match your website&#8217;s branding and design aesthetic.

This flexibility ensures that your popup campaigns can be deployed across your entire online presence, regardless of your chosen website platform.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Now, let&#8217;s explore the two methods for creating popups in AngularJS:<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Method_1_Using_AngularJS%E2%80%99s_Built-in_Popup_Tools\"><\/span>Method 1: Using AngularJS\u2019s Built-in Popup Tools<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>AngularJS provides a built-in popup builder that allows you to create popups directly within your AngularJS application. To create an AngularJS popup using this method, follow these steps:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1.<\/strong> First, download and include the\u00a0<strong>UI Bootstrap<\/strong>\u00a0and AngularJS files in your application&#8217;s main HTML page.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10002\" src=\"https:\/\/www.picreel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Angularjs_PIC_UI-Bootstrap.jpg\" alt=\"UI Bootstrap\" width=\"1659\" height=\"339\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>2.<\/strong> Create a module for your application. Let&#8217;s call it &#8220;<strong>PopupDemo<\/strong>&#8221; and inject the &#8216;<strong>ui.bootstrap<\/strong>&#8216; module as a dependency. This will allow you to use the UI Bootstrap components in this module.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9998\" src=\"https:\/\/www.picreel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Angularjs_PIC_PopupDemo.jpg\" alt=\"PopupDemo\" width=\"1659\" height=\"93\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>3.<\/strong> Create a controller for your module. Let&#8217;s name it &#8220;<strong>PopupDemoCont<\/strong>&#8220;. Inject the &#8216;<strong>$scope<\/strong>&#8216; and &#8216;<strong>$modal<\/strong>&#8216; services into the controller function. The &#8216;<strong>$modal<\/strong>&#8216; service is used to generate the popup.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-10003 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.picreel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Angularjs_PIC_PopupDemoCon.jpg\" alt=\"PopupDemoCont\" width=\"1659\" height=\"457\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>4.<\/strong> Create a view from where you can call the popup window on a button click. In your HTML file, add the following code:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10006\" src=\"https:\/\/www.picreel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Angularjs_PIC_Create-a-view-from.jpg\" alt=\"Create a view from\" width=\"1659\" height=\"355\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>5.<\/strong> Create the popup template in a file called &#8216;<strong>popup.html<\/strong>.&#8217; Customize the content of the template as per your requirements.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10004\" src=\"https:\/\/www.picreel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Angularjs_PIC_popup.html.jpg\" alt=\"popup.html\" width=\"1668\" height=\"741\" \/><\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s it! You have now created a simple popup in AngularJS using UI Bootstrap.
