Angular 2

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Helsinki currently run on Angular 1.5?

I've spent the past 3 months training in Angular2

I certainly hope that future releases of ServiceNow will migrate over to the Angular2 framework!

Any of you SN employees have insider knowledge?

Hello Chuck,


Any reply from your friends on Angular 2 in ServiceNow yet?


Thanks,


Dan


Hi Dan,



AngularJS 2 is being investigated, but I haven't heard a target release yet. Istanbul is scheduled to release with 1.5 as far as my sources can tell.


Thank you for your diligence in the follow-up.  


Hi David,



You are welcome. Any thoughts of marking this correct to have it show up as "answered" so that others looking for the same question can find it easily?



Thanks


Another suggestion I want to give is that it might be better off if you actually develop and host Angular 2 UI apps off ServiceNow. Dealing with Jelly and SN usage of Angular is still quite a challenge. In addition, you won't be able to get the benefits of cloud-based unit testing services as it is quite impossible to mock SN's JS APIs.



We are now developing all new UI apps using Angular 2 and making callbacks to our custom SN Inbound Scripted APIs by enabling CROS on the SN instance. The new UI apps (basically just static files) are hosted off SN but for end users, they still look like part of SN suite as we are not opening new tabs or windows.
