The Angular-Spark generator
A Yeoman generator for AngularJS and Spark.
Spark is a Java-based micro-framework. For AngularJS integration with other micro-frameworks, see https://github.com/rayokota/MicroFrameworkRosettaStone.
Installation
Install Git, node.js, JDK 8, and Maven 3.
Install Yeoman:
npm install -g yo
Install the Angular-Spark generator:
npm install -g generator-angular-spark
The above prerequisites can be installed to a VM using the Angular-Spark provisioner.
Creating a Spark service
In a new directory, generate the service:
yo angular-spark
Compile the service:
mvn compile
Run the service:
mvn exec:exec
Your service will run at http://localhost:8080.
Creating a persistent entity
Generate the entity:
yo angular-spark:entity [myentity]
You will be asked to specify attributes for the entity, where each attribute has the following:
- a name
- a type (String, Integer, Long, Float, Double, 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
Compile and rerun the service:
mvn compile exec:exec
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 Spark 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, while the Spark service supports hot reloading of Java class file changes.
