Loading and Saving Documents using Angular

We recently published the final release version of our Node.js and Angular implementations that enables developers to use the TX Text Control HTML5-based document editor in pure Angular and Node.js applications.

This tutorial shows how to use the JavaScript API to load and save documents within an Angular application.

1. Create a basic Angular application as described in this tutorial:
