title: Angular, Laravel 4 and MySQL database best practices
body: <p>I am pretty new to Angular and have a bit of experience with Laravel 4.
  I am building an app where the user can edit "on-the-fly" but also save to a MySQL.</p>
  
  <p>The initial plan was to use Angular to manage the live editing, and to store and retrieve data to the MySQL DB using Eloquent. I am aware you can connect to DB via Angular, but I'd like to know what the best solution would be. </p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Is it best to keep it separated or to use Angular for everything?</li>
  <li>Is there some performance issues if using Angular for everything?</li>
  <li>Is Angular as easy to use as Eloquent for DB interactions ?</li>
  <li>If I use Eloquent for DB, is it straight-forward to pass data to Angular?</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>I have already started building the live-editing part of the app with Angular and I have to say I found it very easy to learn and extremely powerful. I now have to make a decision as to how I will handle storage.</p>
  
  <p>Thank you</p>
