Using Angular with Rails

[Jedrin]

 Does using Angular with rails imply that I have to only send json data to the client, all my links have to be handled by angular and I would not use rails partial rendering ?

 That is kind of the impression I get.

Currently I have stuff like this which is not really best practices:
<div class="myeml" ng-click="pdfClicked($event)">

 The thing is, the client is not really concerned about whether angular is used or not. Also, I think they do not want the browser back button to become non functional between pages which seems like that can be tricky in some cases with angular, though I am not sure.

 I hesitated to consider ember because it seems like ember want to drive everything whereas I can work aspects of angular into my current code in some limited ways.

 I would have considered React, but I have less experience using that ..

No you do not have to immediately embrace all aspects of angular. My first app with angular only used it for displaying tables. Each subsequent app, I make it more angular and less rails.

Absolutely not. You can adopt the pieces you like and use Angular patterns within isolated parts of your application. Here's a blog post I wrote on iterative adoption of AngularJS: http://tech.novus.com/multiple-single-page-apps-adopting-angularjs-in-an-existing-application/
