Hi Vijayendra, My idea is, first connect the gap what we have with our previous project using the suggested approach, which is write a angular service by wrapping the exiting JS client. But saying that, i also +1 for completely implement the angular service by wrapping Thrift JS client in one go. That is the ultimate goal here. and -1 for implement the same thing with angular $http. Because this is tightly couple to the angular and it require special care for maintain, when ever there is any API addition or change. But we can avoid this complexity for some extend if we go with thrift JS api.
Thanks, Shameera.
