Angular with Rails

Angular doesn't fit Inertia's "props from server" model the way React and Vue do. Use classical API + SPA: Rails-API serves JSON, Angular lives in its own folder/repo as a true SPA.

The opinion

Classical API + SPA for Angular. Rails-API mode. Angular 17+ with standalone components. Signals or NgRx for state. JWT auth (short-lived + refresh). Deploy Angular and Rails separately. Inertia has an Angular adapter but the ecosystem is thin — don't pick it for new work.

Setup

backend/        Rails-API
frontend/       Angular SPA
