AngularJS?

[lee.gooding]

I'm currently building my extensions primarily using jQuery to modify the DOM. However, I've recently been pointed (again) towards AngularJS. I've seen discussion regarding that replacing jQuery in Civi. Is that still the case? Is there any reason not to move to Angular when building my extensions?

There currently isn't any documentation showing the "correct" way to implement Angular into an extension. Any advice?

I've run some tests and can get angular working in TPL files by including the angular.js. Is it that simple?

Thanks!

At the CiviSprint in Edale our team did some work on Angular JS - you can see an implementation in the GSoC project "A/B Testing".

My advice: stick with jQuery. The FF team extensions all use it. I doubt that all jQuery support will be removed in the future because it is just too useful.

JohnFF,

Thanks for the reply. I've had a volunteer attempting to convert one of our simple extensions to use Angular. I can see how it could simplify some things. However, there are so many great plugins for jQuery. It looks like I would have to "rebuild" a lot of them for Angular. At this point it seems to make sense to just wait until Angular is "officially" adopted and there is actual documentation regarding its implementation/use.

Thanks again.
