Welcome to the AngularFaces wiki!

AngularFaces is to JSF what AngularJS is to HTML: It's taking the technology to a new and unexpected level.

All right, at the time being, the project still is in a very early stage, so maybe I ought to be more humble.

But still, that's the idea. JSF - like HTML - started as a classical request-response GUI framework. AJAX improved the user experience quite a bit, while failing to solve two other problems: server load and network latency. AngularJS solves the problem by dismissing the server almost completely. The logic is executed where the CPU power is - the client.

JSF's approach to AJAX even make for a new problem: many of your JSF tags need id's, and the complexity of your programming model rises.

That's what AngularFaces aims to address. It uses the power of AngularJS to make the JSF experience friendlier to the user and the programmer.

Further reading and showcase

You'll find further information at beyondjava.net and at the tutorial page AngularFaces.com.

The showcase is currently out-dated. It still shows AngularFaces 1.0, which has little in common with the current version. You find it at showcase.angularfaces.com.
