I’m developing a website design using bootstrap now I want to move to convert my application as angular JS application.
What are the main things are consider converting angular application.
Angular is a JavaScript framework, Bootstrap is a CSS toolkit with some javascript modules for UI elements. They do different things.
You might want to look at Angular UI Bootstrap for a collection of directives from bootstrap but otherwise its just a matter of JS to Angular.
Bootstrap and Angular are different technologies with different purposes. I would advise you to start with Bootstrap and Angular documentations first.

I develop in Angular 2+ for quite a while using Angular Material, but the documentation of AngularJS Material is more complete and wide then the one to Angular 2+, there is a way to use AngularJS Material components in an Angular 2+ project? More specific on Angular 6
You will have to run both frameworks simultaneously to make it work. While that certainly is possible, it usually isn't desired, especially if there isn't a clear separation between where the AngularJS application and the Angular 2+ application ends and begins (for instance as there would be if you're migration an AngularJS application to Angular 4). AngularJS components, spread around an Angular 2+ application doesn't seem like a desirable situation.
Here are some additional issues:
Component names may clash
Routing may interfere with each other
Communication between AngularJS components and Angular 2+ components is difficult
I have two suggestions.
Either do away with the AngularJS dependency and clean up after the former co-worker.
Or, create thin wrapper components around Angular2 Material components, that has the same name and signature as the AngularJS material components. This is only possible if the components work somewhat similarly.
I recommend the first suggestion, since the latter might only be plausible for the most simple components.
I have to integrate an existing UI application to a REST based back end. The UI is a single html page that uses JQuery + CSS to create a sliding tab experience. Both the UI and REST application are Spring Boot apps.
I'm new to Javascript frameworks. AngularJS made a lot of sense to me for data binding and updating the DOM.
However, now that I am trying to do the integration, there is a .js include in the UI that contains a massive set of JQuery plugins (they are just pasted in one after another).
AngularJS functionality like 'ng-repeat' does not work with this file included. The UI application does not work without this include.
I believe the solution is to put all JQuery Plugins into a Angular Directive (Initialising jQuery plugin (RoyalSlider) in Angular JS). This looks like a painful task.
Are there other frameworks that would work with this?
I have found some threads suggesting a ground up approach with Angular ("Thinking in AngularJS" if I have a jQuery background?), but I'm stuck with this current UI app's structure.
Suggestions? I'm thinking of using JQuery to acquire the JSON and inject it into the UI and adding Thymeleaf for its fragments.
After some research I have found that using JQuery is the way to go if your application was built with JQuery. If I could do it again, perhaps Angular should have been the base for the UI application. However,after some exploration, I have found JQuery does a lot of cool things around AJAX and Dom manipulation. When used with ThymeLeaf in Spring Boot, you end up with a power set of UI tools.
So I am developing a new MVC application using AngularJS and I wanted to implement bootstrap for the UI but upon searching for bootstrap from within NuGet I see AngularJS UI Bootstrap.
I did a little reading to find that this unfamiliar flavor of Bootstrap could actually serve as a replacement for the traditional bootstrap that I am more familiar with but I really don't understand what the core difference is of when one would opt to use one over the other.
So what are the advantages of using AngularJS UI Bootstrap instead of Bootstrap? Given my current stated position for what I am doing, would it be more advantageous to use AngularJS UI Bootstrap or is it purely a matter of personal preference?
Angular UI-bootstrap is a replacement for the Bootstrap javascript, not for the css framework. It has rebuild the bootstrap JS functionalities such as modals and popovers to 'the Angular way', so if you want to use those functionalities use Angular UI-bootstrap
I have been researching options to using Bootstrap with Angular and it appears to focus on two:
Angular UI Bootstrap
AngularStrap
I see a third option of just using native Bootstrap. What are the pro/cons of all approaches? This seems to hint that Angular UI Bootstrap is not feature complete:
Which one to use, AngularUI Bootstrap or AngularStrap?
I don't use both of them because I don't want my project depends on too many 3rd party libraries. So I just use native Bootstrap JS, but I have to customize it to fit requirement of my project.
I don't say Angular UI Bootstrap and AngularStrap are not good, but with my project's requirement, I don't need all features so they are quite heavy. I just want you to pay attention to a point: currently, AngularStrap supports AngularJS 1.2+, this means it should support IE8 but Angular UI Bootstrap doesn't.
Hi in my case its not about either or, its about getting things done. If a component or directive exists already from aforementioned libraries (probably isn't much difference between angular ui bootstrap and angularstrap) e.g. modal, datepicker and it fits requirements then I'll use it. Otherwise I use vanilla bootstrap to make my own directives :-)
Here's a link to building components using directives in angular.
I am quite new in Angular world. I am working on an application which involves Angular JS. I've been confronted with the requirement to implement custom scrollbar. My application does have jQuery too, but so far most part of my project uses Angular. So should I be using some jQuery widget or implement it via Angular.
If Angular, can you provide me pointers on how should I proceed?
You should probably implement it in the Angular way, i.e., building / using a custom Angular's directive:

You can always use jQuery plugins / widgets in an Angular app, but in that case the best way is to encapsulate each plugin within a directive. Angular-UI is a project which does that for several components, including Twitter Bootstrap:

I'm aware of angular-perfect-scrollbar, a simple Angular's directive for perfect-scrollbar, but haven't tested it yet:

Depending on what your requirements are, you can style your scrollbars strictly in CSS and not need any JavaScript:
