title: Does Pattern Lab "not mix well" with Angular?
body: <p>​As an interaction designer looking for better ways to collaborate with developers, I have tried to introduce Pattern Lab to my current client. The lead developer for the front end framework pushes back, however. Main gist of his argument:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Our toolkit has complex components that require JavaScript or a JS library in addition to HTML/CSS. This would not mix well with the Mustache or Handlebars templating in the Pattern Lab. Thus we use Angular JS, which is the framework that our components are written in.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I have tried to look for articles that discuss this topic. There's <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/patternlab.io+angularjs">nothing</a> here on SO as far as I can tell. Outside SO I have found just a few posts (<a href="http://www.bigeng.io/the-living-style-guide-pattern-lab/" rel="noreferrer">example</a>), but nothing that's specifically on the topic of Pattern Lab's (lack of) compatibility with Angular, except for a parsing issue that was <a href="https://github.com/pattern-lab/patternlab-php/issues/209" rel="noreferrer">solved</a> two years ago.</p>
  
  <p>As a non programmer I don't have the necessary influence to sway my developer peers. Would be great if someone with hands on experience could elaborate.</p>
