Angular Jira Cloud App with Forge UI

[Artur Schneider]

Hello,

I built a Jira Plugin with Angular on a local Jira server. Now I want to migrate this Plugin to the Jira cloud. For that I created a Jira App with Forge and tried to implement my Angular App into this Jira App.

Unfortunately this did not work because my Angular App is not compatible with the Forge UI. I tried to search for tutorials that create Jira cloud Apps with Angular but I couldn't find any. 

Does someone know how to integrate a Jira Cloud App using Forge UI with an Angular App?

Thank you!

Hi @Artur Schneider, do achieve this you'd need to go for a custom UI.

There is some minimal documentation available. In short, you create a template with forge, select a Custom UI as a template and then manually replace the react hello-world template with a angular client app. The big advantage of using a custom UI (and angular) is that you have a rich and mature framework for developing your UI - also with typescript and lastest versions.  

But words of warning: Be aware that forge is far from feature complete! There will be many features that you will not have in forge. That might be painfull, if you come from server/datacenter with atlas and Java. And when you are using anguar you have to take care of the css for styling yourself.
