Single Page Applications have been on the rise since the last few years. They are headed towards being the next standard for web applications. Because of this, a few weeks ago I decided to give a talk about how to structure SPAs using Django and AngularJS.
What is AngularJS?
It is a client-side MVC (Model-View-Controller) framework built with Javascript. It is open source and developed by Google. It offers two-way data binding, modularization, dependency injection, URL routing and custom HTML elements.
Why integrating them?
There are several reasons for doing it. These two frameworks have a really strong and active community. This is good for your project, because it means it will be more stable.
Also, building the backend with Django is a kids game. You can have your API working perfectly in a very short time. And the same goes for AngularJS. on the client side, since it provides a lot of pre-built, performant, already tested tools for you to work with.
Together, they allow you to invest your time in adding new features to your product, instead of having to waste a lot of time thinking about how to put all those features together.
