Silly question for any AngularJS devs lurking here

Is it wise to use Angular and other frills in your 404.html or should it be static?

(I don't dare ask dumb questions on StackOverflow, only smart ones)

If it's a part of your site, why not?

I haven't messed with 2.0 to see if it has the same issues 1.x did, but if it does, trying to implement it on a community site is not a great idea, FYI >_>

Why not? Because I don't know enough about Angular's JIT compilation to know whether it breaks when the server does an error redirect…

What are the issues? I'm using it for a small project that needs a ton of data binding but will only have like ten users.

4xx pages are html pages like any other. You should have them either mimic your CMS or be an actual part of it.

More difficult with 5xx, but that's a different topic. >_>

Angular 1.x starts to have issues once you get a lot of binds - more than a few hundred. Each one gets iterated over.

I remember thinking of a clever way to get around that problem but i ended up starting to switch over to React for the new CMS code, since it was basically designed to do what I needed.
