AngularJS + AEM

[MPRobertson]

Hello

My team is considering using AngularJS with AEM implementation.  I could very much use a little info on the compatibility of AngularJS with AEM.

Apparently my team previously worked on a POC using AngularJS with CQ5 and the outcome was CQ’s WSIWYG editor could not be easily used to author content with Angular.

Does AngularJS "play nice" with AEM 6 ?  Are there any compatibility issues with the 2 ?

Are there certain version of CQ / AEM that work or do not work with AngularJS ?

Thanks!

Just posted an article on AEM 6 and AngularJS with a little more useful and practical example: http://wp.me/p24Mjq-nn.

Here is an AEM community article that talks about this use case:

Its just another framework for Javascript. Make sure that you include your lib fies in a client lib like you would when using other JS frameworks like JQuery. We will look into the possibility of wring a community article based on this use case.

Upon further investigation, there does seem to be an issue. I am investigating this and will post back.

Angular works fine in Classic UI in AEM 6.

I am investigating what needs to be done in Touch UI to get it working.

Just found out that there is a known issue when using this JS framework in Touch UI. I will release a community article on this next week and it will update the status of this known issue, No issue when working in classic view.
