I need some help.
I'm kind of new to javascript, but I built a flight search single page application using nodejs and angularjs and the Skyscanner API.
Now I would like to integrate this application as an embedded website in a wordpress in order to enjoy the advantages of wordpress. Does anybody have experience with this? Do the two system compete? Whats the best way to do this?
As wordpress is based on php, I guess there should be some troubles, maybe you know a turnaround.
Thanks in advance!
WordPress itself is written in PHP but whatever frontend you build with it can access your API written in Node, either directly from Angular or indirectly via PHP.
If you can get your Angular app embedded in WordPress then you shouldn't have problems accessing your Node API from it (keep in mind that you may need to configure CORS correctly).
But whether you can get your Angular app embedded in WordPress may be a big "if".
You can either use an iframe in order to embed a page that you're running in your Node.js environment or just provide some APIs from your Node.js server and call them from WordPress the way you prefer (jQuery, Angular.js or whatever). I don't see any particular issue about running an Angular app in WordPress.

I a have an Angular 5 project up and running, and I would like to add a CMS to allow admin control over content.
I would like to use something that works with NodeJS, ApostropheCMS state that any front-end application can integrate with their technology, but I can't find anything to help me understand how this is done.
I am Looking for help to understand the integration process, if possible at all !?
And if it isn't then what would be alternative solution considering the Angular 5 project.
Thanks in advance
you can do this using the apostrophe-headless module. In that configuration you could build a separate backend site just for editing the content and use the headless APIs from your angular site so you don't have to deal with any disagreements between them over frontend things.
I have a web app developed with Angular 2 which communicates with Java APIs on the server to fetch data. Everything is working fine except the pages are not indexed by search engine (except Google which supports script generated tags).
I've googled a lot and found that this can be achieved by "server side rendering" and there are libraries available to achieve this but all of these are commercial products that require payment.
I have come across Angular Universal which is not a commercial product, can we use it to solve our issue? If it can then how can we hook it up to our existing app?
You are on the right path there are two ways to achieve your objective
If you are using #angular/cli for developing angular app then you can only follow this link
If you developing with your own webpack.config file then there are lot of options available, best of them is universal-starter , which is featued in official documentation of angular/universal
While continuing with #angular/cli, there is a little caveat that it doesn't support lazy loading yet but they are working on it and future is bright with #angular/cli. If you want to implement lazy loading now only then i will suggest you go ahead with second option.
I currently have a WCF service that operates on a database. I'd like to be able to use JavaScript (specifically AngularJS) to call the service methods and display them in a webpage.
I know this can be done using a separate ASP.NET client application that uses the service, but I'd like to have the JavaScript/HTML be a part of the WCF service project. Ideally, I'd like the user to see my webpage when running the service, rather than something like this: https://pieterderycke.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/service-page-in-internet-explorer.png, but I have no idea where to start.
Where must I put my JS/HTML files in the project and how do I reference them from the WCF service? Does something need to be done to expose the service to the JS/HTML files? Thanks in advance!
It's actually rather simple, really just a matter of adding the files to your project. You just need to make sure the references within the JavaScript/HTML files all still point to the right spot. If you're using AngularJS specifically, add that to the project first, then add your custom files.
Also, if you're looking to show an HTML file when running the service in Visual Studio, have a look here: Displaying web page when running WCF service.
I want to create a web application and I am exploring how I could do this. So I came across AngularJS. I want to use WCF Service and SQL Server in my application also. I am trying to find what AngularJS, WCF Service, SQL Server can do for me because I do not want change technologies in the middle of my project after discovering that AngularJS cannot do things which I want my application to do.
So, my question is can AngularJS help me create Static web pages and Dynamic web pages?
I can start my project in ASP.NET MVC but I want to explore AngularJS and want to find out what it is.
My project is about
Sending E-mails
Displaying content from database (in any manner using Ajax)
Voice chat, Video chat, Text chat
Can contain Javascript, jQuery, CSS, HTML5
Tell me something about it. Any suggestions?
Thanks
Your question is vague, but I'd suggest using Microsoft WebAPI instead of WCF or even ASP MVC, due to the from the ground up RESTful design of WebAPI and much easier configuration.
Using this approach, you'll still be able to query SQL Server in C# using WebAPI, so you won't need to switch your database.
There's very little documentation by comparison for querying non-RESTful web services, so you'll gain a huge advantage in terms of tutorials, blogs, etc. by going this route.
Please see below for your questions:
Can AngularJS help me create Static web pages and Dynamic web pages?
Yes certainly it can. Check it out at the official website
2.Sending E-mails
This should be the server side responsibility using an e-mail client, for instance SMTP client
3.Displaying content from database (in any manner using Ajax)
Yes, it certainly can.
4.Voice chat, Video chat, Text chat
Try WebRTC first to see if it's sufficient for your tasks
5.Can contain Javascript, jQuery, CSS, HTML5
Yes, you can use whatever you want as long as you are sure about what you are doing.
I hope following guidelines will help you.
When you create the project select WebApi template.
Then include angularjs files in the scripts folder.
Use cshtml files,but do as you in html file.
Use angular client side mvc features to build your app fast and performance.
Use the angular http service to call webapi methods.
All the c# specfic features build in the webapi.
Is there a way to have a blog directly integrated into my HTML/javascript-only website, without having to have something like a SQL-database and a dynamic engine like PHP or MySQL?
Maybe there is some service in the web that offers this (hopefully without ads :) ). Or maybe I can have a blog engine entirely written in javasript?
Entirely written in JavaScript? Surely that defeats the entire point of having a "blog-engine" in the first place? The point being that the data is stored somewhere and dynamically retrieved. To avoid using anything server-side (which seems to be your intent), and only use HTML/JavaScript, you'd have to store all the data for the blog in files that are served up to each visitor, and then retrieve the data from the particular, local, locations using JavaScript.
Sorry if I'm misunderstanding the point here... but this seems to be an utterly useless way of trying to go about things. Blogs are, in general, either written statically (in HTML [even though this is rare]), or are dynamically generated from a database by a server-side scripting language (most common).
Edit: As an additional point, I suppose you could include some third-party blog feed, or service, in your page, via use of JavaScript... but I'm unsure as to which (if any) blogging services would directly support this method of working. Additionally, this is quite an unreliable way of including third-party data in a page...
Here's a thought. It's not really a blog engine - but a wiki.
Entirely javascript/html/css. All lives in a single html file:
http://www.tiddlywiki.com/
not sure how it would work on a real live site, but their site is using it:
* A personal notebook
* A GTD ("Getting Things Done") productivity tool
* A collaboration tool
* For building websites (this site is a TiddlyWiki file!)
* For rapid prototyping
* ...and much more!
You could use github pages. You will get a generated blog with version control.
Other option is to use a Desktop blog tool and then update your site.
You can user iWeb if you have a Mac or CityDesk on Windows or you may try this open source tool
Edit Today I came across this tool: Zeta producer that may help.
http://code.google.com/p/showdown-blog/
Blog engine written in just JS and XML [v0.6] {JavaScript, XML}
So, what you want is to have a blog where you're website provider doesn't provide a way to serve dynamic content?
The only way I see that you can do it in that case is writing html-files (or text-files if you prefer) and adding them to the site. After that you can have some JavaScript to add them to your "blog-page".
You of course need to upload them to the website in the same way as you do for the other files, and then have a way for the JavaScript to know which pages it should fetch.
I am not aware of any JavaScript blog-engines, but you can have a look at the templating functions in for instance Prototype
Of course, that means that you will have to fetch both the template and the content through Ajax and let the client do all the processing (could be slow and possibly insecure), and you still need to have a place to upload the content and update it.
Your best bet is going to be using a generator to create the HTML/CSS/JS to upload to your server, take a look at Webby: http://webby.rubyforge.org/
IF you really need to you can use a public api for a service that lets you post small bits of info and retrieve it using javascript.
for example if you only need small posts you can make a blog in html.javascript that utilizes twitter as the engine. of course you will be limited to 140 chars. I am sure there are other services that will allow a similar idea but with less restrictions.
And of course the best option - Get a blog software or host your blog with a service provider and link to it from you site.
Good luck
One solution would be to use some application that generates the static web pages of your blog, and uploads them to your web server. This way you'd have a blog with static content that could all be managed in javascript alongside your existing site, without needing to install database, daemon software, or additional dynamic web programming languages on your server. The static content generation could happen directly on your server if possible, or you could run the html generation tool locally and upload the output.
MoveableType has a tool like this. You still need somewhere to store the content of your blog, and for this MoveableType uses MySQL by default, so you'd still need to install a database somewhere, but the database could simply be one your local desktop.
MoveableType also has support via plugins or older versions that can retrieve data from a sqlite or other database. The advantage of sqlite is that it doesn't require installing daemons like MySQL does, you can just put a sqlite file on disk somewhere, give MoveableType the path to the file, and run the script to generate your static content.
There are likely other tools like MoveableType, and I have in the past generated blog-like web pages simply by writing small scripts to generate HTML. The main issue is just that you need somewhere for these scripts to fetch data from.
Another option might be to develop your blog using XSLT, ... with XSLT, you'd put the content of your pages in XML files, and then write a template in XSL that converts your XML to HTML.
If you google for 'static blog site generation' you might find other ideas/options, including Jekyll/github mentioned in one of the other responses.
