Angularjs on a symfony2 application

Question

I\'m working on a SF2 application that uses a lot of javascript on the front end.

SF2 provides me a good way of building a nice REST app, manage my database with doc

Answer 1

I face the same situation, in my case, I've decided to split the client and server projects, I used symfony2 as server-side because it's simplicity and usability besides other advantages that brings to me. By other hand I created a simple HTML project with AngularJS, that is useful for me because I want to create a HTML5 Mobile App with the same client files.

In that case, I think that the core of the problem here is in the authentication and authorization process. You must implement a secure firewall for working in REST (for example WSSE: Symfony2: How to create a custom Authentication Provider) in the server side.

And then the corresponding implementation in the client side (AngularJS), the most useful resource that i found: Github:witoldsz/angular-http-auth.

If you want deeper implementation with your sf2 project, you can compile AngularJS using Assetic's filters, and gain performance in page loading.
