AngularJS Full-Stack generator

Yeoman generator for creating MEAN stack applications, using MongoDB, Express, AngularJS, and Node - lets you quickly set up a project following best practices.

Example project

Generated with defaults: http://fullstack-demo.herokuapp.com/.

Source code: https://github.com/DaftMonk/fullstack-demo

Usage

Install yo, grunt-cli, bower, and generator-angular-fullstack:

npm install -g yo grunt-cli bower generator-angular-fullstack

Make a new directory, and cd into it:

mkdir my-new-project && cd $_

Run yo angular-fullstack, optionally passing an app name:

yo angular-fullstack [app-name]

Run grunt for building, grunt serve for preview, and grunt serve:dist for a preview of the built app.

Prerequisites

MongoDB - Download and Install MongoDB - If you plan on scaffolding your project with mongoose, you'll need mongoDB to be installed and have the mongod process running.

Supported Configurations

Client

Scripts: JavaScript, CoffeeScript, Babel
Markup: HTML, Jade
Stylesheets: CSS, Stylus, Sass, Less,
Angular Routers: ngRoute, ui-router

Server

Database: None, MongoDB
Authentication boilerplate: Yes, No
oAuth integrations: Facebook Twitter Google
Socket.io integration: Yes, No

Injection

A grunt task looks for new files in your client/app and client/components folder and automatically injects them in the appropriate places based on an injection block.

less files into client/app.less
scss files into client/app.scss
stylus files into client/app.styl
css files into client/index.html
js files into client/index.html
coffeescript temp js files into client/index.html
babel temp js files into client/index.html

Available generators:

App
- angular-fullstack (aka angular-fullstack:app)
Server Side
- angular-fullstack:endpoint

server/api/message/index.js
server/api/message/message.spec.js
server/api/message/message.controller.js
server/api/message/message.model.js  (optional)
server/api/message/message.socket.js (optional)

Route

Generates a new route.

Example:

yo angular-fullstack:route myroute
[?] Where would you like to create this route? client/app/
[?] What will the url of your route be? /myroute

Produces:

client/app/myroute/myroute.js
client/app/myroute/myroute.controller.js
client/app/myroute/myroute.controller.spec.js
client/app/myroute/myroute.html
client/app/myroute/myroute.scss

Controller

Generates a controller.

Example:

yo angular-fullstack:controller user
[?] Where would you like to create this controller? client/app/

Produces:

client/app/user/user.controller.js
client/app/user/user.controller.spec.js

Directive

Generates a directive.

Example:

yo angular-fullstack:directive myDirective
[?] Where would you like to create this directive? client/app/
[?] Does this directive need an external html file? Yes

Produces:

client/app/myDirective/myDirective.directive.js
client/app/myDirective/myDirective.directive.spec.js
client/app/myDirective/myDirective.html
client/app/myDirective/myDirective.scss

Simple directive without an html file

Example:

yo angular-fullstack:directive simple
[?] Where would you like to create this directive? client/app/
[?] Does this directive need an external html file? No

Produces:

client/app/simple/simple.directive.js
client/app/simple/simple.directive.spec.js

Filter

Generates a filter.

Example:

yo angular-fullstack:filter myFilter

yo angular-fullstack:service myService
[?] Where would you like to create this service? client/app/

Produces:

client/app/myService/myService.service.js
client/app/myService/myService.service.spec.js

You can also do yo angular-fullstack:factory and yo angular-fullstack:provider for other types of services.

Decorator

Generates an AngularJS service decorator.

Example:

yo angular-fullstack:decorator serviceName
[?] Where would you like to create this decorator? client/app/

client/app/serviceName/serviceName.decorator.js

###Openshift

Deploying to OpenShift can be done in just a few steps:

yo angular-fullstack:openshift

A live application URL will be available in the output.

oAuth

If you're using any oAuth strategies, you must set environment variables for your selected oAuth. For example, if we're using Facebook oAuth we would do this :
rhc set-env FACEBOOK_ID=id -a my-openshift-app
rhc set-env FACEBOOK_SECRET=secret -a my-openshift-app
You will also need to set DOMAIN environment variable:
rhc set-env DOMAIN=<your-openshift-app-name>.rhcloud.com

# or (if you're using it):

rhc set-env DOMAIN=<your-custom-domain>
After you've set the required environment variables, restart the server:
rhc app-restart -a my-openshift-app

To make your deployment process easier consider using grunt-build-control.

Pushing Updates

grunt

Commit and push the resulting build, located in your dist folder:

grunt buildcontrol:openshift

Heroku

Deploying to heroku only takes a few steps.

yo angular-fullstack:heroku

To work with your new heroku app using the command line, you will need to run any heroku commands from the dist folder.

If you're using mongoDB you will need to add a database to your app:

heroku addons:create mongolab

Your app should now be live. To view it run heroku open.

If you're using any oAuth strategies, you must set environment variables for your selected oAuth. For example, if we're using Facebook oAuth we would do this :
heroku config:set FACEBOOK_ID=id
heroku config:set FACEBOOK_SECRET=secret
You will also need to set DOMAIN environment variable:
heroku config:set DOMAIN=<your-heroku-app-name>.herokuapp.com

# or (if you're using it):

heroku config:set DOMAIN=<your-custom-domain>

To make your deployment process easier consider using grunt-build-control.

Pushing Updates

grunt

Commit and push the resulting build, located in your dist folder:

grunt buildcontrol:heroku

Bower Components

The following packages are always installed by the app generator:

angular
angular-cookies
angular-mocks
angular-resource
angular-sanitize
es5-shim
font-awesome
json3
jquery
lodash

These packages are installed optionally depending on your configuration:

angular-route
angular-ui-router
angular-socket-io
angular-bootstrap
bootstrap

All of these can be updated with bower update as new versions are released.

Configuration

Yeoman generated projects can be further tweaked according to your needs by modifying project files appropriately.

A .yo-rc file is generated for helping you copy configuration across projects, and to allow you to keep track of your settings. You can change this as you see fit.

Testing

Running grunt test will run the client and server unit tests with karma and mocha.

Use grunt test:server to only run server tests.

Use grunt test:client to only run client tests.

Protractor tests

To setup protractor e2e tests, you must first run

npm run update-webdriver

Use grunt test:e2e to have protractor go through tests located in the e2e folder.

Code Coverage

Use grunt test:coverage to run mocha-istanbul and generate code coverage reports.

coverage/server will be populated with e2e and unit folders containing the lcov reports.

The coverage taget has 3 available options:

test:coverage:unit generate server unit test coverage
test:coverage:e2e generate server e2e test coverage
test:coverage:check combine the coverage reports and check against predefined thresholds

when no option is given test:coverage runs all options in the above order

Environment Variables

Keeping your app secrets and other sensitive information in source control isn't a good idea. To have grunt launch your app with specific environment variables, add them to the git ignored environment config file: server/config/local.env.js.

Contribute

See the contributing docs

This project has 2 main branches: master and canary. The master branch is where the current stable code lives and should be used for production setups. The canary branch is the main development branch, this is where PRs should be submitted to (backport fixes may be applied to master).

By seperating the current stable code from the cutting-edge development we hope to provide a stable and efficient workflow for users and developers alike.

When submitting an issue, please follow the guidelines. Especially important is to make sure Yeoman is up-to-date, and providing the command or commands that cause the issue.

When submitting a PR, make sure that the commit messages match the AngularJS conventions.

When submitting a bugfix, try to write a test that exposes the bug and fails before applying your fix. Submit the test alongside the fix.

When submitting a new feature, add tests that cover the feature.

See the travis.yml for configuration required to run tests.
