Static AngularJS site integration into Kentico

Nicholas Gornall asked on June 24, 2016 07:01

Hi,

I'm trying to integrate a existing Static Angular site into Kentico v9.0.10.

Basically the Angular app requires that it can access a lot of different Markup content using relative urls. Currently these are just stored in html files.

I am unsure of the best way to add the content to Kentico. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Roman, thanks for your reply. (And Brenden!)

I have managed to get the Angular code working by using a linked JavaScript file on the main page.

Do you think it would be a a good idea to skip using transformations and just update the Angular code to use REST service to fetch the markup as you suggested?

My main concern is that I would like to try implement the solution so that reusable for other similar pages with different markup content. It would also be nice if it is possible to use the Kentico interface to update and maintain the markup content.

Thanks, Nick

I'd definitely look at Sterling's post on Kentico and Angular if you haven't already. It is for version 8 but things are very similar in v9.

Also you could implement your transformations in Angular fashion and use REST service to fetch markup (view that currently sits in physical html files), retrieve data you need in a separate rest call and bind view with data.

Sterling's post has some major gaps into his angular + Kentico process.

He alludes to using ng-view in the index page but makes no mention of how the html partials get stored and referenced

Is he leveraging some Kentico function to store and recall clean html partials? Or is he simply hosting the partials in the file system under the /CMS folder?

I spent a long time looking for an answer to that and never found one.

Eventually I settled for simply hosting the partials in the file system.

There isn't much documentation regarding Angular integration into Kentico :(
