There is a NEW Demo on Github that outlines how an Angular app can be created with Axon.ivy in the Backend. They interact with REST services implemented in ivy. See here: https://github.com/ivy-samples/ivy-angular-demo

Hello,

My first question to you would be, do you really need Angular 1.x or even Angular 2.x in your project ?

As Reguel mentioned, since v6.2 you have REST API in Ivy. This allows you to abstract the UI from the back-end. The problem is that you need to implement the security context by your self.

In addition to that, you might need to implement some features for supporting the BPM part. For example, to be able to transfer process context variables/parameters between the different process steps.

Again, Do you really need Angular ? Axon.Ivy is not an application development framework it is rather focused on solving BPM problems and it is good in this part. It is not impossible to integrate Ivy with Angular, just that the time and effort that you need to put, may not be optimal (I gave up researching in this area because of that). You also might want to conciser BPM tools with lower level of abstraction like Activiti and Canunda. Here you are free of the chains of JSF/PrimeFaces and you can use whatever JS framework by design.

Best Regards, Yordan

in the HtmlDialogDemos project there is a demonstration how Dialog logic can be invoked by JavaScript. See ch.ivyteam.htmldialog.demo.other.AjaxMethodCallDemo. The demo project can be imported via: File -> Import -> Axon.ivy -> Ivy Archive -> [DesignerDir]/applications/samples -> HtmlDialogDemos -> Import
with 6.2 you can also design a RestFul interface that invokes process logic and call it from JavaScript. See the ConnectivityDemos in the latest Sprint release: http://www.ivyteam.ch/flatpress/?page=download_last_increment . The official 6.2 release will be available in 2 weeks - so it should be save to start developing your project with it.
