Yeoman generator for AngularJS + Dropwizard
MIT License
A Yeoman generator for AngularJS and Dropwizard.
Dropwizard is a Java-based micro-framework. For AngularJS integration with other micro-frameworks, see https://github.com/rayokota/MicroFrameworkRosettaStone.
Install Git, node.js, JDK 7, and Maven 3.
Install Yeoman:
npm install -g yo
Install the Angular-Dropwizard generator:
npm install -g generator-angular-dropwizard
The above prerequisites can be installed to a VM using the Angular-Dropwizard provisioner.
In a new directory, generate the service:
yo angular-dropwizard
Compile the service:
mvn compile
Run the service:
mvn exec:exec -pl [myapp]-service
Your service will run at http://localhost:8080. It's time to create some resources.
Generate the resource:
yo angular-dropwizard:resource [myresource]
You will be asked to specify methods for the resource, where each method has the following:
/users/{userId}/orders/{orderId}
Files that are regenerated will appear as conflicts. Allow the generator to overwrite these files as long as no custom changes have been made.
Compile and rerun the service:
mvn compile exec:exec -pl [myapp]-service
You can now invoke HTTP requests against your service, such as
curl -X POST localhost:8080/myapp/myresource/users/1/orders/2 \
-d "formParam1=hello&formParam2=world"
Generate the entity:
yo angular-dropwizard:entity [myentity]
You will be asked to specify attributes for the entity, where each attribute has the following:
Compile and rerun the service:
mvn compile exec:exec -pl [myapp]-service
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 Dropwizard 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 Dropwizard service supports hot reloading of Java class file changes.
