WordPress Angular Theme

NEW VERSION

I have just released version 4.0 which includes the functionality added in thanks to the JSON API WordPress Plugin. As I make more of the functionality use this RESTful API, I still have the AJAX fallbacks in the functions.php file.

What? Why?

I wanted to learn Angular, and I already have spent the last 10 years developing in WordPress. The best way to for me to learn was to make this.. but maybe someone else will find some awesome use for it.

The WordPress theme is built primarily using Front-Page.php to run as the main ng-view.

Documentation

FRONT-PAGE - front-page.php is identical to index.php, to allow for your theme to be adjusted accordingly.

Navigation - Defaulted to "Main Nav", needs to be created in the WordPress Dashboard.

Content Block - used to insert content from page or post, example:
<ng-include src=" dir+'block.php?id=2&title=true' "></ng-include>
There are 2 variables passed to file, the id of the post/page content you wish to display. As well as whether you want a <h2> title block to come with it, which will automatically get the title of the ID passed.

EDIT/DELETE BUTTONS - in the list view you will find as the buttons to delete and edit the post. These are displayed on check of user login status, as a redudancy to help.

GLOBAL JS VARIABLES
set by localize_script in functions.php

MyAjax.ajaxurl - WordPress default admin ajax
MyAjax.resturl - JSON-REST-API url
Directory.url - Template Directory (good for setting .html template location)
