I am looking to create an application with AngularJS that also has pages rendered on the server side with PHP/Laravel.
Essentially, I want to be able to render a static version of a view on the server side, but have the Javascript views start kicking in as soon as the page is rendered.
The idea being that when a user goes to an internal page for the first time, all of the content is rendered ahead of time on the server, yet the one page application will continue to work as soon as the page is loaded in the browser.
The backend of the application is currently written in Laravel, so I would feel comfortable writing the view logic in PHP.
What would be the best direction to go for this? I really want to avoid passing the pages to a third party service such as prerender.io or first rendering the page in phantomjs.
Essentially: having Javascript disabled on a web browser will not make any one page AngularJS app run. This is why I want to find a way to render the full page on the server, and once the page is loaded in the browser, either re-render the page (if that is the way it must be done) with my Angular application or somehow bind all of the data with the static views with my AngularJS controllers and models.
