Using AngularJs in Wordpress theme

Hi, I've watched closely how Jim implements the Dribble API and consuming it using AngularJs, I would like to be able to do something similar with my Wordpress theme to seamlessly fetch posts into the view, yet I can't seem to know where to start.

Thanks

I talked with Jim and we don't have an exact answer for you, but I would suggest looking into the WP AJAX API for plugin development. You should be able to hook into what you need using that and WP_Query.

Please let us know how it goes.

Quick question for you though: Why?

Zac, thanks for the response

Well as for why, am building V 3.0 for my portfolio and it'll be a single page website and will bring ajax projects to the view, I didn't have much experience in AJAX and was very enthusiastic about Angular when I watched the tutorial.

After a whole day reading I installed a json api plugin for wordpress & consumed the data from the view, but am sure this is totally the wrong way to ask for the service while you are that service ... yet seems to be working fine.

am launching in hours will be posting it here for you to have a look

Thanks a lot

Oh cool man!

Yeah, it might feel like a bit of a hack. I'm curious if you come up with something you feel is cleaner?

Looks really good though and you'd never know it wasn't using standard templates.
