Do you think this is a stupid tech stack to create a sleep tracking app? Angular as the frontend and Wordpress rest api as backend. I need to use these for a college project...

Thats gotta be a contestant for "worst stack 2019"

You need both as the college requirement?

Yeah, the hell? Wordpress backend???

Wp has nothing to do with this... It's not meant to provide APIs.

Angular fe - yeah, sure. But using cms to publish api is neither good for the api [too much overhead, bugs in wp, etc], nor will you learn wp [there is no CONTENT in APIs]

I say go w/ angular and raw [lwx]ampp stack if you must use php

What exactly do you need the api to do? If it's just something simple, you can look into firebase perhaps. It's a bit tough to give a concrete answer without knowing why you want to use wp as a backend.

Going with angular is completely fine in my mind though.

@ganjaman hahahahaha I should show my teacher this after I passed ;) Edit: We actually had the chance to also use the Drupal rest api instead of wordpress as backend, but nobody used it I think. God...

@dudeking wordpress rest api yes

Wow thats shitty. If i were you, id write pure php code in the wordpress index page and use that as a rest api.
