generator-angular-cordova v0.0.1

generator-angular-cordova

Yeoman generator for Angular + Ionic + Cordova, let you quickly setup a project with sensible default and best practices

Getting started

• Make sure you have the following installed:

  • yo: npm install -g yo
  • grunt-cli: npm install -g grunt-cli
  • cordova-cli: npm install -g cordova

• Install any SDKs you need for developing platform applications:

  • iOS
  • Android
  • etc...

• Install the generator: npm install -g generator-angular-cordova

• Run: yo angular-cordova

Usage

Once you have ran yo angular-cordova and answered some questions, yeoman should now have scaffolded a cordova, ionic, angular skeleton for you.

Serve to web browser

To deploy as local web server and watch for changes requires the installation of LiveReload browser extension.

grunt serve --platform=ios: prepares and serves the application as a local web server at http://localhost:9000/, watching for changes then preparing/redeploying the web server.

Serve to emulator

grunt emulate: builds and emulates all installed platforms

grunt live-emulate: builds and emulates all installed platforms, watching for changes then building/redeploying the emulator.

Serve to device

grunt device: builds and runs all installed platforms

grunt live-device: builds and runs all installed platforms, watching for changes then building/redeploying.

Usage

Install generator-angular-cordova:

npm install -g generator-angular-cordova

Make a new directory, and cd into it:

mkdir my-new-project && cd $_

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

yo angular-cordova [app-name]

Run grunt for building and grunt serve for preview

Generators

Available generators:

• angular-cordova (aka angular-cordova:app)
• angular-cordova:controller
• angular-cordova:directive
• angular-cordova:filter
• angular-cordova:route
• angular-cordova:service
• angular-cordova:provider
• angular-cordova:factory
• angular-cordova:value
• angular-cordova:constant
• angular-cordova:decorator
• angular-cordova:view

Note: Generators are to be run from the root directory of your app.

App

Sets up a new AngularJS app, generating all the boilerplate you need to get started. The app generator also optionally installs Twitter Bootstrap and additional AngularJS modules, such as angular-resource (installed by default).

Example:

yo angular-cordova

Route

Generates a controller and view, and configures a route in app/js/app.js connecting them.

Example:

yo angular-cordova:route myroute

Produces www/js/controller/myroute.js:

angular.module('myMod').controller('MyrouteCtrl', function ($scope) {
  // ...
});

Produces www/views/myroute.html:

<p>This is the myroute view</p>

Controller

Generates a controller in www/js/controller.

Example:

yo angular-cordova:controller user

Produces www/js/controller/user.js:

angular.module('myMod').controller('UserController', function ($scope) {
  // ...
});

Directive

Generates a directive in www/js/directive.

Example:

yo angular-cordova:directive myDirective

Produces www/js/directive/myDirective.js:

angular.module('myMod').directive('myDirective', function () {
  return {
    template: '<div></div>',
    restrict: 'E',
    link: function postLink(scope, element, attrs) {
      element.text('this is the myDirective directive');
    }
  };
});

Filter

Generates a filter in www/js/filter.

Example:

yo angular-cordova:filter myFilter

Produces www/js/filter/myFilter.js:

angular.module('myMod').filter('myFilter', function () {
  return function (input) {
    return 'myFilter filter:' + input;
  };
});

View

Generates an HTML view file in www/views.

Example:

yo angular-cordova:view user

Produces www/views/user.html:

<p>This is the user view</p>

Service

Generates an AngularJS service.

Example:

yo angular-cordova:service myService

Produces www/js/service/myService.js:

angular.module('myMod').service('myService', function () {
  // ...
});

You can also do yo angular-cordova:factory, yo angular-cordova:provider, yo angular-cordova:value, and yo angular-cordova:constant for other types of service.

Decorator

Generates an AngularJS service decorator.

Example:

yo angular-cordova:decorator serviceName

Produces www/js/decorators/serviceNameDecorator.js:

angular.module('myMod').config(function ($provide) {
    $provide.decorator('serviceName', function ($delegate) {
      // ...
      return $delegate;
    });
  });
