Fred L's Angular CMS?

Sure was impressed to see the Jelly free, iFrame abolished CMS shown off in the keynote this morning.

So, how do we get to that? Didn't find anything on Share, no Plugins and we are in Fuji. Unless they just expect to build up from scratch.

We are on the verge of creating a labor intensive CMS portal in Jelly but very interested to hear more details about this before we go down that path. Hoping to hear something from the CMS group. Demo maybe?

I think a labor intensive CMS portal in Jelly would be a bad idea at this point.   They are introducing AngularJS and a new Service Portal (CMS) in Geneva.  

Keynote Day 2

That being said, sometimes you don't have a choice and can't wait until Geneva is released.   Personally I would take it easy on the jelly scripting until Geneva however.

I agree with Mike.

I've been on a few CMS scoping calls since K15 where the customer can't really wait for Geneva, so I've been recommending not doing anything too custom. For example, if you don't love the OOB catalog category page, try living with it for now rather than writing a custom jelly page to handle it.

Usually the keynotes are showing "things to come" and very rarely show features or products available now. Also since Knowledge usually takes place in the middle of the product development cycle, a lot of what is shown at Knowledge will change by the time it's released. Service Portal is a perfect example since we currently making some major changes to the data model. I can't make any promises as to when Service Portal will be released, but we are actively working on it and I do think it's turning out awesome!

We had an Angular class at K15 that shows how to use it in the current versions of CMS. AngularJS: Developing Modern User Interfaces

You can use Angular now! I just took the lab, so no expert, but this is how it was setup...

UI script:  

document.writeln('<script>https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.3.14/angular.js"></script>');

UI Page:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

<j:jelly trim="false" xmlns:j="jelly:core" xmlns:g="glide" xmlns:j2="null" xmlns:g2="null">

<script>

<div ng-app="">

<input type="text" ng-model="myVar"/>

{{myVar}}

</div>

</j:jelly>
