Mike Jumper commented on GUACAMOLE-1085:
----------------------------------------
It is pretty substantial. [~jmuehlner] and I started working on the migration a
while back, before we had to shift over to working on other things. The
migration itself was not too insane, but we don't have an answer on the
extension side for things like HTML template patching and custom field types.
Angular moved away from the dynamic compilation approach used in AngularJS and
adopted build-time template compilation. Great for performance, but devilish
for dynamic things and extensibility.
It's possible, I'm sure, but maybe not without breaking compatibility and
providing our own API outside of Angular for HTML patching and custom fields.
IIRC, Angular has a dynamic compiler, but it's considered experimental.
