Using Laravel (or other PHP MVC) and AngularJS

I am making an app and I was wondering what is a better way to approach this. I want to use Laravel as the backend, and AngularJS as the frontend.

Should I then leave the entire rendering and View completely to AngularJS and only use Laravel through AJAX calls? Or should I still load the basics from Laravel, and use AngularJS to enhance the experience?

Yes. You could use Laravel as RESTFul API and consume from client without using blade (so if you want it)

Here example:

class PostController extends \BaseController {

    /**
     * Display a listing of the resource.
     *
     * @return Response
     */
    public function index()
    {
         return Post::orderBy('created_at', 'desc');
    }
}

service in angular: ( I use Restangular lib, but you can use $http)

app.factory("PostsService", function(Restangular) {
  return {
    /*
    * GET /posts -> Trae todos los posts
    */
    all: function() {
      return Restangular.all('posts').getList();
    }
  }
});

controller angular:

app.controller('HomeController', function($scope, PostsService){
  PostsService.all().then(function(posts){
    $scope.posts = posts.data;
  });

});
