Is there any advantage of using angular js with magento?

Question

Angular js is new in market so is there any advantage of using angular js with magento ?

If yes then anyone knows how can we use both in a single project ?

Answer 1

Angular is not new in the market, it´s pretty old already. Anyway, the benefit of using Angular (or another client framework) is that your shop can be a lot faster - instead of a page refresh for every click, you can load data/templates with Angular. For example, with a REST API. Meaning: you only load what you need and the server can handle more users.

There are many resources about this topic already, here´s a small list:
