I think you mean something like this: http://code.google.com/p/plugin-clientapi Nobody bothered to try it yet. Instead, I keep reading that there's no interface between client frameworks and web2py. Also, I really don't get why would web2py need to build AngularJS widgets, when you can just define the model client-side, by simply doing the following from any web2py app (since ~2.4): def getmodel(): return db.as_json() Or, for a more sophisticated setup, retrieve a dictionary with db.as_dict() and use it in a .json view or service. -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
