Hi, I am building a web app using kotlin. The team suggested using kotlin backend and angular front end but I’m not sure if kotlin integrates well with angular. Is that true? Also, if there is ktor to create a full stack kotlin web, why not use that? I’ve read a lot of pros of Kotlin in full stack but can’t seem to find any cons. Are there any? Thanks.

What is “motion”?

Hi @turansky, thank you! Sorry was a typo. I meant kotlin integrates well with angular.

Do you have some additional input: 1. SPA? 2. Lazy modules or monolit? 3. React, Compose - fine?

@turansky I’ve restarted development with kotlin after 15 years of break. Thank you for your patience. It’s a company asset managements system. A system that contain a database of asset where the asset can then be assigned to employees via employee id. I don’t think it will be SPA. As for point 2 and 3, I’m afraid I don’t know how to answer yet. Perhaps you could enlighten me, please? I am not entirely sure about using kotlin backend and angular front end either.

You can start from this simple example - Kotlin/JS + React/React Table

Hi @turansky Thanks. So you recommend Kotlin React and not Kotlin Angular, right?

I recommend to create small projects (POCs).

Thanks @turansky That is what we are doing now. In fact, they are still very keen using Angular over REST. So, we have given them a deadline to do a basic connection to just display a table of assets by this Friday. Otherwise, we will move to React.
