- 4. What is Angular? A Single Page Application (SPA) framework created by Google to help simplify the process of creating client side applications. Utilizes the Model View Controller design pattern by splitting pages into the following: Models Views Controllers Utilizes modules and dependency injection to promote clean coding practices. 4
- 5. Why Use Angular in SharePoint? Makes client side application development extremely easy Very easy to deploy. The REST service is already there, just push Javascript and HTML files to necessary document libraries. No custom solutions that need to be package and deployed by an administrator. 5
- 6. Why Use Angular in SharePoint? (cont.) The fluid nature of applications written in Angular blends well with SharePoint’s architecture. High performance – offload processing to client and minimize amount of data sent over the wire. 6
- 8. Key Angular Terminology Directives Extend the DOM, apply data bindings. ng-app, ng-controller, ng-view, ng-model, ng-repeat, etc. Modules Containers for all Angular functionality. (i.e. Namespaces) $scope Your model. Uses to pass data from controller to view. 8
- 9. Key Angular Terminology (cont.) Services Angular provides built in services for common tasks: $http, $q, $route, $timeout, $document, $exceptionHandler, etc… Can create custom services to be used in controllers. Double mustache {{ }} Angular’s inline data binding expressions. Ng-model for forms. 9
- 10. Basic Angular App Checklist Reference necessary Angular Javascript files – “angular.js” and “angular-route.js”. Create a module for your application Create an application container Create a controller Perform needed data retrieval and add data to the $scope object (model) Create a view for your controller within your app container. Add an “ng-controller” directive to your app container to tell angular to use your new controller. Run your application! 10

Editor's Notes
- #5: Utilizes Model View Controller design pattern by splitting pages into the following: Models – Data to be displayed on a page. Referred to as $scope in Angular Views – Segments of HTML markup to represent the primary contents of a page. Controllers – Code to initialize the model for a view and respond to actions performed by the user.
