For those with experience integrating Meteor with Angular, can you describe the benefits and tradeoffs?
Been looking to supplement or replace Angular's $resource with something a little higher-level on CRUD-heavy applications. Is Meteor a reasonable choice, or am I misunderstanding it's core value proposition?
- Bahamut 11y agoIf you're looking to replace $resource (a poor abstraction layer), you should create your own client-side model layer, or look into a library like js-data (http://www.js-data.io/docs/js-data-angular/ http://www.js-data.io/docs/js-data-angular/)
- erokar 11y agoI haven't tried using Angular with Meteor, but I know both pretty well. I would recommend trying Meteor with just Blaze (its rendering engine) before adding Angular. Maybe it's enough and you don't need Angular's added complexity.
- stanleydrew 11y agoWill definitely try that with a new project. Sounds like you wouldn't recommend trying to hack Meteor into an existing Angular project?
- erokar 11y agoThe latest version of Meteor actually comes with support for Angular and React — so if you want it, it shouldn't be too hard to add. Personally, I guess I've grown a bit disenchanted with Angular lately. It makes some things easy, but I think it adds unnecessary complexity. I'm inclined to look for simpler, more functional/stateless solutions these days.
