Architecture

Core concepts
● Model View Controller framework
● Client-side templates
● Data binding
● Dependency injection

Hello World
index.html
<html ng-app>
<head>
<script src="angular.js"></script>
<script src="controllers.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div ng-controller='HelloController'>
<p>{{greeting.text}}, World</p>
<button ng-click="action()">Alert</button>
</div>
</body>
</html>
controllers.js
function HelloController($scope) {
$scope.greeting = { text: 'Hello' };
$scope.action = function() {
alert('Action!');
};

$scope.action = function(action, id) {
// Perform action.

Advantages
● Clean split between server and client side
● Significantly cleaner, terser, easier to
understand client-side code
● Significant easier to improve UX
● Client- and server-side code can be
developed and tested independently
● Faster feature velocity
