angular-spring generator

Getting Started

What is angular-spring generator?

I realized I usually spend more time removing all the unecessary libraries and extra stuff when I use existing generators, so here is a lightweight and clean generator to bootstrap a project which doesn't require lunar load balancing, 64 clustered oracle instances and 782 hadoop nodes (you can add that yourself afterwards!).

angular-spring generator is a Yeoman generator which create a solid base project using Java Spring MVC & AngularJS and can be quickly deployed on Tomcat. The following tools will be included Maven, Grunt & Bower.

IF YOU WISH, the generator can add extra stuff like: FontAwesome and AngularStrap. (@TODO: Compass, WebSocket)

The AngularJS style is based on @john_papa style guide

If you do not have Yeoman on your computer, please install it first using the command below:

npm install -g yo

Use angular-spring generator

Install

To install the generator you can use npm

npm install -g generator-angular-spring

You can also clone the project and link it to your local npm

git clone https://github.com/madtrax/generator-angular-spring.git && cd ./generator-angular-spring && sudo npm link

Launch

Finally, launch the generator:

yo angular-spring

Generated application

Start application

Once you ran the generator, execute the following commands to compile and run the web application.

Install dependencies:

npm install && bower install

Start:

grunt && mvn tomcat7:run

Once everything is done you can open you web browser: http://localhost:8080/your-project-name/

You can find a sample of generated application here.

Folder structure

The application folder structure before running grunt and bower should be:
