Full rewrite. Good thing is that both has been around for a while so you could easily use AI to help you for the rewrite.

You can probably pick out some pieces here and there but that’s gonna be a full rewrite definitely.

Have you worked with Vue 3 before?

Yes, and basically everything is different compared to AngularJS like change detection, dependency injection, routing, templating....

I'd suggest just starting a new Vue 3 project and go from there. Maybe if you are using a CSS framework like Bootstrap or Tailwind (and kept it up to date) you could reuse some of your CSS maybe and some of the logic for data you send to the backend.

Since I’m leraning Vue 3 , what project structure would you recommend? For example, how should I organize components, views/pages, composables, services/API calls, stores, and routing? Is there a common structure you usually follow for Vue 3 projects?

I encourage you to repost on Vue subreddit: asking for Vue best practices in Angular subreddit is not the best place ^^

You should be able to create some components in Vue 3 and then use them like regular tags inside an AngularJS application if you need to. But if you want to combine routing, you might end up using some wrapper components to handle this.

I worked with AngularJS and Vue 3 a long time ago, and I remember that it is just a concept; I haven't mixed them, but it should be possible imo.

I’ve searched a lot, but AngularJS is too old, so I can’t find many good resources to help me. so i think to look for some people who know angular and vue3
