A part we got stuck on recently was regarding binding functions to the component from the parent controller. Each component can have its own controller, so you can put all sorts of nice events within the controller, but sometimes you need to access a tool from outside. Here’s how (and why) we did this.
Writing Angular Controllers in Typescript for Kendo Grids – Dealing with Data
Telerik offers a fantastic library called Kendo UI. They’ve converted all of the objects into Angular Directives. They’re great, except there are some issues that really arise from the actual platform. Angular is very data-centric. You don’t pick an object and then change it, as you do in jQuery, you define the parameters of the object as variables and then let the data do the work naturally.
Using Kendo ObservableArray’s lets us avoid unnecessary constructs that just don’t ever seem to work out for us in AngularJs.
Angular Routing Methods With Angular 2.0 in mind.
Components will be a big deal. From what I understand, we’ll be able to run Angular 2.0 and Angular 1.5+ side by side. Since components are inherently isolated, we’ll be able to update components one by one without having to do a full site replace, or even the “Silo” replacement, like how we’ve broken up our most recent 350 webpage system.
