The Angular-Start generator
A Yeoman generator for AngularJS and Start.
Start is a Dart-based micro-framework. For AngularJS integration with other micro-frameworks, see https://github.com/rayokota/MicroFrameworkRosettaStone.
Installation
Install Git, node.js, Dart, and PostgreSQL.
Install Yeoman:
npm install -g yo
Install the Angular-Start generator:
npm install -g generator-angular-start
The above prerequisites can be installed to a VM using the Angular-Start provisioner.
Creating a Start service
In a new directory, generate the service:
yo angular-start
Install dependencies:
pub get
Run the service:
dart --enable-async app.dart
Your service will run at http://localhost:3000.
Creating a persistent entity
Generate the entity:
yo angular-start: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.
Run the service:
dart --enable-async app.dart
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 Start service running at http://localhost:3000.
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.
