the umbraco backend supports AngularJS only since version 7. Of course if you will use AngularJS in frontend you can do this by your own implementation.
What will you make using Angular on Umbraco 4/6? Anything frontend related is of course not dependant on the Umbraco version - But in the backoffice it's possible to use AngularJS for making dashboard in Umbraco 4/6 for instance - But you won't be able to make your own custom datatypes/property editors using it.
But perhaps you can benefit from this tutorial Tim made for making an app using AngularJS inside Umbraco 6 http://www.nibble.be/?p=224
Just seems like Angular is the new queen of the ball, all the hip kids are using it. I'm reading through the basic tutorial now. It looks interesting, nothing I can't already do with jQuery and a few more lines of code. Since it takes us a long time to rewrite our applications, I want to make sure I'm targeting far enough ahead of the curve that our applications are still useful and relevant 5 years from now.
Well, it's not like jQuery at all :) - AngularJS is based on the MVC approach and you're able to make services, controllers and directives and handle a lot of logic on the client side. It's a bit more advanced than jQuery when you get more into it. But in terms of Umbraco 4/6 the options of using AngularJS in the backoffice are limited whereas in v7 it's easy to make up your own property editors using it - And then you can of course power you frontend with AngularJS regardless of the Umbraco version :)
AngularJS within Umbraco?
Is it possible to use AngularJS with Umbraco? How about with version 4.x or 6.x? Will I have any major hurdles?
Hi Connie,

Hi Coonnie,
Umbraco 7 uses AngularJS, for example the property editors is made with AngularJS, If you are interested you could have a look at this workbook https://github.com/umbraco/AngularWorkbook and http://umbraco.github.io/Belle/#/tutorials
And here is a blogpost about AngularJS and Umbraco http://umbraco.com/follow-us/blog-archive/2014/11/4/umbraco-and-angular-20 and http://24days.in/umbraco/2014/angular-powered-frontend/
Hope this helps,
/Dennis
