AngularJS and ExtJS together - angularjs

Just learning , new to this site.
Is it possible to have ExtJs and AngularJS together in same application ?
or is it worth to have both of them in same application ?
Thanks

Sometimes people use ExtJs components in an AngularJS app.
AngularJS is flexible enough to integrate with any other Javascript code/libraries as long as the library has public events to respond to. I would recommend going through the Directive and scope documentation on how to effectively create directives and respond to scope events.
Personally I do not feel ExtJS and AngularJS would be needed together, unless you are forced to use it like me. There is http://angular-ui.github.io/ that brings in a lot to the table. Again any given JQuery plugin can be integrated using directives, filters etc in AngularJS. So you may want to investigate into that before trying to bother with ExtJS.

AngularJS1.2 & Angular using Microfrontend

I am working in a project which is developed using AngularJS1.2, since it is older I am thinking to write feature modules in separate app using Angular and then with the help of Microfrontend thinking to combine with older app. To achieve this, I am not able to get a good source/guide. Can anyone please help me.
I see 3 ways but haven't tried any of them though. So, I don't have any working solution.
Have a route from angularjs that points to angular app(full page load) and everything from there onwards, angular handles everything. There is no angularjs involved. This may not be the best option.
Let angular code load on demand when the feature is required and provide placeholders for the angular features inside angularjs project. This way you can share custom scope to nested child angular project.
Use web components developed in angular(angular elements) and use them in your angularjs application. They work independent of technology/framework/library.

How to integrate AngularJS with Lithium?

I need to add new features to an already existing application. The application is built using Lithium and jQuery. The features that needs to be included have a complex view which allow users to analyze data and perform CRUD functionality. I won't go into details about the features here, but after working on a few simple Angular tutorials and side projects, I know that using AngularJS to create this view will make my life a lot more easier than creating the view using jQuery.
Over the course of the next few months we may convert the entire app to AngularJS.
I am uncertain about where I should place the Angular files and how to setup routing. How can I integrate AngularJS to Lithium so that part of the Lithium routing works and part of it is handled by AngularJS.
I also found this answer on stackoverflow but it doesn't mention folder structures or how to integrate Angular with Lithium. I think this link mentioned in the answers is supposed to have what I am looking for but it doesn't seem to exist anymore.
The link is down, but you can clone the source repository and run it yourself here: https://github.com/nateabele/li3-angular-presentation
Regarding organization, the simplest way would be to place the directory structure for your Angular components inside of /webroot. The more advanced (and in my opinion better) way would be to make them two separate applications: an AngularJS UI app, and a backend API in Li3 that it talks to.

can I use EJS with AngularJS?

Hi I am new to AngularJS. I have great web app already running with JQuery and jQuery UI.
Now I want to completely get rid of JQuery and am going to migrate to Angularjs because of its MVC (MVW) pattern.
So my jQuery application is running with EJS for templates and entirely DOM manipulation. But when I think about Angular js, I have doubts. Can I still use EJS or not?
So please guide me whether I can use or not.
Another doubt is, let's assume I have list page. It is updated dynamically, and it will display 10 records first then based on user scroll, the next 10 records will be appended in the DOM after AJAX. Can we append to the DOM dynamically using Angular?
How do I achieve these kind of things in Angular?
You can use EJS (server or client side) in combination with Angular but there's no need and you'll probably overcomplicate things. AngularJS is very capable for manipulating the DOM by itself in a very separation of concerns kind of way. The most elegant way to work with Angular is to have a RESTful backend and just serve some static html/js files from a webserver.
As for endless scrolling, there are tons of ready to use plugins (modules) to choose from or you can write your own. Basically this will need a view with a ng-repeat directive to display the currently loaded items and a directive that will notify a controller/scope to load more items when the user is scrolling down.
A nice simple article can be found here.

Yes of course you can use EJS with Angular JS. You might want to have a look at this;

And about your DOM manipulation question. Yes you can append DOM dynamically using Angular JS. Angular JS have a strong feature of two way data binding which dynamically updates its DOM content when a model variable changes.

Guideline to create a mvc-4 application with angular.js for non-single page application?

First of all i am confuse for my project whether it can use angular.js or not, although i have started using it and i created some customization module with this but when i started applying it for all project i got stuck on many things.
My project is a order taking project and it has structure like this.
In the index page it has 3 panels.
left panle that draws all categories
middle panel that draws all category specific productes
and right panel that draws all the basket items with calculations.
On product click there also appears a model that draws all the customization.
I am using MVC-4.
Every thing on index that includes some layout is a partial view _leftpanl, _middlePnl, _rightPnl, _customziaion.
My concern is.
If i define the routes to the module i created how to fix on ng-view because per scope there will be one ng-view only. and my application load atleast 3 partial views to index page at the same time. So how would i fix on ng-view.
Just gimme some guide lines that i should follow to create this kind of application with angular.js.
Or it is not possible with angular because i think it is not a single page application.
Use the Angular-Breeze SPA template provided by the ASP.Net team http://www.asp.net/single-page-application/overview/templates/breezeangular-template
Don't mix up the Razor view/partials with Angular. Use ASP.Net MVC to manage only the REST interface and use AngularJS to embrace the presentation layer.
Learn the Angular Routing and Templates to mimic your requirements.

It seems you have a problem to define what you really need.
AngularJS primary purpose is to do some Single Page Application. Which is, code only in HTML/CSS/JS in the front-end, and reuse your abilities in the back-end to produce DATA only (REST-json is the most classic but you can choose whatever you want).
So if you use a tool outside its primary purpose, you have to do some compromises : Of course you can mix backend template with AngularJS, but in this case, you can forget the router and ng-view.
Use AngularJS if you think you have some complex web interface. If it is only some static text, or even a few input forms here and there you don't necesseraly have to AngularJS, you can just use your classic server-side display rendering.
You could use ng-include to include each of your three partials into one view. Then in each partial view you can specify the controller with ng-controller. For creating the modal popup I would probably use ui bootstrap's modal
Alternatively you could use ui-router to create multiple parallel views.
I have following guidelines here which i hope will help you.
Do not mix Server Side MVC and Client Side MVC. AngularJS is primarly meant to augment the HTML and browser capability. The two-way binding of angularjs is excellent and provides lots of dynamic behavior. MVC4 scores best when we have to do lot of server side processing using the .Net platform capabilities.
But as you spent some good effort on this project and the corresponding technologies, there is a way out. Convert all your Controlller Actions in MVC4 to produce JsonResult and when the angularjs needs data use that, e.g. in $http.get( .

AngularJS Conventions

I've built a webpage using html, css, javascript, and jquery. I just started learning Angular.js. My question is do I have to rebuild the site in order to meet certain angularJS conventions or is everything I will be adding for Angular unobtrusive to my previous built code?
It is actually recommended that you NOT use jquery with angular for starters. To get the most out of angular you will most likely have to re-architect your website. The reason for this is that Angular is a framework; jquery is a library. Their concerns are different.
When we think in Angular terms, we think about:
Views, not DOM elements
Directives, not event bindings
Models as a projection of view
Functionality separation
