How effectively can I use angularjs keeping security in mind?

Question

Why should I use angular.js or other like js frameworks when I know they are not secured.

What I mean by security is:

• All the code is written in pure javas

Answer 1

All client side code is susceptible to modification. For that reason you don't put anything that needs to be secure into the client code. The client code should define the view elements for the end user and give them an easy means to communicate with the server. Regarding security 99% of this needs to be handled server side by appropriately protecting the data that is sensitive. In terms of server to client communication you need to use SSL. Angular has some things built in to help with security see $sce and ngSanitize but IMHO your back-end should be safe because anyone can re-write a front end or use a command line tool to send various curl requests at the server until something gives. The client code really has no need to contain anything proprietary outside of the client code itself if that's your concern you can use obfuscation tools but ultimately even compiled code can be decompiled or disassembled .
