Asynchronous web application with ASP.NET MVC 4 and Angularjs

Question

We are planning an update for a web application implemented using ASP.NET Web Form. We'd like to inctroduce MVC pattern, so we are basically oriented to MVC 4.

We are also evaluating AngularJs, that seems a great MVC framework for web development.

I've read a bit about using AngularJs + Web Api, but I have no experience about Single Page Applications or asynchronous applications. For example, how they implement authentication?

I'd like to know if there's a well known architecture for asynchronous application developing, and how can I implement this with MVC 4 + AngularJs.

Any suggestion?

instead of using WebAPI, take a closer look at www.servicestack.net

AngularJS with servicestack backend -> works like a charm! i'll never switch back to webapi!

AngularJS is a great MVW (Model-View-Whatever) framework and already provides a lot of "architecture" for developing a web app. Therefore, I am not sure why you would want to use MVC4 + AngularJS. AngularJS has asynchronous built in - $http and $resource can be used to make asnync calls.

They also recently added animation support making web animations super easy to implement. So there is a lot that AngularJS has already built in and one just needs to become familiar with it. I suggest you look at some sample applications such as this one.

I also need to implement authentication and role authorization in my app. Does Angular provide some utilities to deal with these?

Check out frederiknakstad.com/…. You would create a module to handle your authentication.

There are plenty of guides around for doing so. Since WebApi is a RESTful service you can use angularjs $http or/and $resource for consuming it.

Additionally there are libraries out there for consuming RESTful services which work as a middle man for frameworks like Angular and MVC. Check out This Visual Studio template.
