• Why Drupal 8 & AngularJS
• Headless Drupal
• Where does the web app live?
• AngularJs + Drupal 8

• Powerful, prebuilt tools
• Similarities
• Structure for Javascript
• Multi-platform setup

• Drupal 8
• Data modeling
• User Authentication
• Resource management
• Discrete Objects
• Testing
• AngularJS
• Discrete, testable objects
• Testing!
• Templating
  
• Less conjured HTML
• Maintainable

1. Templating
2. Routing
3. Controllers & Services

• Drupal has endpoints
• Provides structured content
• Authorization
• Use the endpoints from anywhere

• Use Drupal as a back-end
  
• Alternative to GAE, AWS
• Data modeling interface
• Create custom API's
• Register and authenticate users

module.cookie:
  path: '/api/v1/cookies/{kind}'
  defaults:
    _controller: '\Drupal\api_module\Controller\ModuleController::getCookiesOfKind'
  requirements:
    _permission: 'access content'

 ...

class ModuleController implements ContainerInjectionInterface {
  ...constructor

  public function getCookiesOfKind($kind) {
    return $cookies[$kind];
  }
}

• Easy setup
• Separate server
• Separate environment

• Purely RESTFUL interaction with Drupal only

• Drupal
  
• App
• ...
• core
• modules
• themes
• ...

• Easy setup

• Can't use Drupal performance optimization
• Drupal qwerkiness
• /path/to/app directory doesn't exist (says Drupal validation)

• Drupal
• modules
• App
• ...
• ...
• ...

• Can utilize modules
• Can leverage Drupal templates

• Hard to setup

 if ($modules['restui']->installed == TRUE) {
