Creating Modular Test-Driven SPAs with Spring and AngularJS
22 likes10,010 views
The document discusses creating modular, test-driven single-page applications (SPAs) using Spring and AngularJS, covering topics such as the basics of AngularJS, integration with Spring, and best practices for building and deploying SPAs. Key aspects include modularization, testing methodologies, and UI considerations for optimal performance. The presentation also provides practical examples and resources for further learning on the subject.

![Dependency Injection
• Consider using array notation:
app.controller('NameCtrl', function($scope){ ... });
app.controller('NameCtrl', ['$scope', function($scope){ ... }]);
• Or use ngmin ng-annotate
• grunt-ngmin, gulp-ngmin, grunt-ng-annotate, gulp-ng-annotate

- 7. What are SPAs? 7 A single-page application (SPA), also known as single-page interface (SPI), is a web application or web site that fits on a single web page with the goal of providing a more fluid user experience akin to a desktop application. Wikipedia

- 10. Read this 10
- 11. From Backbone to Angular • Too many moving parts, choices • Boilerplate Code • Marionette, Backbone.ModelBinder, Backbone.Relational 11
- 12. Alternatives 12
- 13. AngularJS Basics • Model • View (Templates) • Controller • Dependency Injection • Expressions • Filters • Directives • Routing • Modules • See also: AngularJS Concepts 13
- 14. Model • Angular is very flexible about your model • Ultimately expressed via the $scope • $scope = Glue between Controller and View • $scope mimics DOM (Hierarchical, one $rootScope) 14
- 15. Model • Killer Feature: Data-Binding • Model === single-source-of-truth • View reflects model changes automatically • $watch, $apply 15
- 16. View • HTML is your templating Engine • Minimize logic as much as possible • Consider Custom Directives 16
- 17. ¡Hola! • Demo 17 <div ng-app ng-init="firstName='Eric';lastName='Cartman'"> <div> First Name: <input type="text" ng-model="firstName"> </div> <div> Last Name: <input type="text" ng-model="lastName"> </div> <div> <b>Complete Name:</b> {{firstName + ' ' + lastName | uppercase}} </div> </div>
- 18. Controller • Used to "setup" your $scope (values) • Add behavior to your $scope (functions) • Don't do UI work using controllers!! • Use directives and filters instead 18
- 19. ¡Hola! v2.0 - View • Demo 19 <div ng-app="hola" ng-controller="NameController"> <div> First Name: <input type="text" ng-model="firstName"> </div> <div> Last Name: <input type="text" ng-model="lastName"> </div> <div> <b>Complete Name:</b> {{firstName + ' ' + lastName | uppercase}} </div> </div>
- 20. ¡Hola! v2.0 - Controller • Demo 20 <script> (function(){ var app = angular.module('hola', []); app.controller('NameController', function($scope){ $scope.firstName='Angular'; $scope.lastName='rocks'; }); })(); </script>
- 21. Dependency Injection • Consider using array notation: app.controller('NameCtrl', function($scope){ ... }); app.controller('NameCtrl', ['$scope', function($scope){ ... }]); • Or use ngmin ng-annotate • grunt-ngmin, gulp-ngmin, grunt-ng-annotate, gulp-ng-annotate 21
- 22. Expressions • {{ expression }} • No Control Flow Statements • Can use filters inside expressions: • {{ 'abcd' | uppercase }} 22
- 23. Filters 23 ...! <tr ng-repeat=! ! "item in jobDefinitions | filter:filterQuery | orderBy:'name'">! ...
- 24. Directives • Are markers on a DOM element • Attach behavior/transform DOM elements • ng-controller, ng-app ... 24
- 25. Types of Directives • Attribute (default) • Element • Class • See: https://gist.github.com/CMCDragonkai/6282750 25
- 26. Routing • ngRoute (built-in) • Routing on steroids using ui-router 26
- 27. Routing using UI-Router • state machine • nested views • Spring XD's routes.js 27
- 28. Modules • Hang on tight… 28
