## Demo
An online <a href="http://www.laravel-angular.io/" target="_blank">demo</a> is available.
## Angular (2+) update
While this starter used to be an excellent starting point for Laravel 5 & Angular 1.x, using Angular 1.x results in large JavaScript bundles which makes mobile experience slow.
Thus it's recommended to upgrade to Angular (2+).
You can use the shiny new [Laravel & Angular package](https://github.com/jadjoubran/laravel-angular)
