AngularJS for WordPress

AngularJS for WordPress was created to help anyone leverage the power of AngularJS and easily add it into their own theme.

AngularJS is a client-side template framework that lets you extend HTML vocabulary for your applications. It has a markup more similar to what HTML used to be. HTML its not a dynamic language by itself, with AngularJS it is.

AngularJS for WordPress includes several directives (html elements) that will help you easily add in a block for a single post/page or a list. More directives will be added in.

WordPress shortcodes for directives are also included to avoid any confusion with code

For even easier use for specific pages a new post meta box has been added. If selected the AngularJS directive will take over loading the content of the page client-side. This feature uses the post-content.html template.

Why use AngularJS?

AngularJS renders your posts client-side. WordPress is built on PHP, so every page a user visits is converted to HTML on the server, then served to the client. With ANgularJS you are only getting a JSON Object (text) from the server
then renderring that to HTML using the client’s machine. This will speed up your pages as well as allow for more concurrent visitors to your site as the strain on the server is reduced.
