The Angular-Nancy generator
A Yeoman generator for AngularJS and Nancy.
Nancy is a C#-based micro-framework. For AngularJS integration with other micro-frameworks, see https://github.com/rayokota/MicroFrameworkRosettaStone.
Installation
Install Git, node.js, NuGet, and Visual Studio for Windows or Mono for Linux/Mac OS X. The development mode also requires SQLite.
Install Yeoman:
npm install -g yo
Install the Angular-Nancy generator:
npm install -g generator-angular-nancy
The above prerequisites can be installed to a VM using the Angular-Nancy provisioner.
Creating a Nancy service
In a new directory, generate the service:
yo angular-nancy
Install dependencies for Windows:
nuget.exe restore
or for Mono:
mono --runtime=v4.0 nuget.exe restore
Build and run the service for Windows:
MSBuild.exe
[Myapp]\bin\Debug\[Myapp].exe
or for Mono:
xbuild
mono [Myapp]/bin/Debug/[Myapp].exe
Your service will run at http://localhost:8080.
Creating a persistent entity
Generate the entity:
yo angular-nancy:entity [myentity]
You will be asked to specify attributes for the entity, where each attribute has the following:
- a name
- a type (String, Integer, Float, Boolean, Date, Enum)
- for a String attribute, an optional minimum and maximum length
- for a numeric attribute, an optional minimum and maximum value
- for a Date attribute, an optional constraint to either past values or future values
- for an Enum attribute, a list of enumerated values
- whether the attribute is required
Files that are regenerated will appear as conflicts. Allow the generator to overwrite these files as long as no custom changes have been made.
Build and run the service for Windows:
MSBuild.exe
[Myapp]\bin\Debug\[Myapp].exe
or for Mono:
xbuild
mono [Myapp]/bin/Debug/[Myapp].exe
A client-side AngularJS application will now be available by running
grunt server
The Grunt server will run at http://localhost:9000. It will proxy REST requests to the Nancy service running at http://localhost:8080.
At this point you should be able to navigate to a page to manage your persistent entities.
The Grunt server supports hot reloading of client-side HTML/CSS/Javascript file changes.
