Can one host an angular.js based static blog on Github?

Question

I know one can host a Jekyl based static site/blog via Github pages. Can one do the same with a static site/blog based on AngularJS?

Answer 1

There is one conflict between Jekyll and Angular to be aware of.

Liquid, which is included in Jekyll also uses {{ }} for evaluating expressions. To change the expressions that angular interprets (so it doesn't conflict with Liquid) use:

var myapp;
myApp = angular.module('myApp', []);

myApp.config([
  '$interpolateProvider', function($interpolateProvider) {
    return $interpolateProvider.startSymbol('{(').endSymbol(')}');
  }
]);
