Re: [angular.js] Re: Can i use Angular.js with Hogan.js?

Hi Ricardo,

Thanks for the response.

Hogan.js provides the option of pre-compiled templates which makes rendering very fast.

Does Angular.js have the similar option(where i can pre-compile the template at server side and send it to client)?

Min version of Angular 1.0 version comes around 76kb. Can i reduce this size by selecting/removing few features from the framework?

In my opinion, this is redundant. 

Angular already have his own $compile function, fully integrated with scope, directives, cache etc. 

You will add some unnecessary complexity to manipulate templates if you want to use hogan.js. And will miss one of coolest angular.JS features.

PS: to make compatibility with IE, use ng as attribute, instead of use as tags. If you want to use tag anyway, just 'register' them using document.createElement (http://docs.angularjs.org/guide/ie).

Dear all,

I am pretty new to Angular.js and found it very interesting to use it in my application. I have few queries which i couldn't find answers yet.

From the docs, it looks Angular.js provides its own templates. Also, i read some where 'ng' tags are not yet compatible with IE web browser.  Please correct me if i am wrong.

Can i use hogan.js for templates and Angular.js for mvc? Kindly let me know pros and cons for this approach. 

Appreciate any help regarding this.

Thanks,

Abdul

Yes, using node.js on server side and compiling the templates before sending them to browser/client.

When you say pre-compile in server side, you means nodejs + hogan?

About reduce the size of lib, removing features from the framework... I dont recommend it, but its not impossible (their source is open...)

Hi Andy,

Thanks for the response. 

I am developing an e-commerce application with social networking features. I was planning to use Backbone.js + Hogan.js for MVC architecture at client side, routing and for templates as well.

However, after going through Angular.js, am confused to select among Backbone.js and Angular.js.

I want my html designer and javascript developer to work as independent as possible. Using Backbone.js + Hogan.js, designer can develop hogan.js template, whereas developer can use Backbone.js integrating it with model, routers and controller.

Could you please guide me over this? Would Angular give me same flexibility as Backbone+hogan? Does it have all history+navigation features in the framework?

Appreciate any help here.

Thanks,

 Abdul

Angular is not a templating language like Hogan.  

Take the ng-repeat tag for example:
<ul ng-controller="MyController">
  <li ng-repeat="item in myList">

    {{item}}

  </li>

</ul>

Unlike a server-side templating language, this will not just get compiled then statically rendered. Angular (on the client), reads through the DOM and finds the ng-repeat tag, hooks it up to the MyController Javascript object, and whenever MyController's scope's myList changes, it appends/removes/re-orders the list accordingly.

Angular is way different from a templating language, it's more of an HTML parser that works live with your Javascript in the browser

Thanks a lot for providing the information Andy. Will go through the given app as well as the tutorial.

Thanks once again,

Abdul

Angular does have navigation built in, you should check out angular-phonecat, the main tutorial app.  Check https://github.com/angular/angular-phonecat, in app/js/app.js, to see the routing.  I would highly recommend giving the tutorial (which makes the angular-phonecat app) at least a quick go-over: http://docs.angularjs.org/tutorial

And it is probably about the same difficulty for your HTML designer to use the ng- tags as it is to throw in a templating language and Backbone.  The thing with Angular is, your coder will write the logic, and your HTML write out how that logic is rendered.  There is no 'middle man', unlike BackboneView.render().
