generator-frontend-boiler v0.0.3-b

Modular frontend boiler leveraging browserify and angular to cleanly group by concern

#####To use: npm install -g generator-frontend-boiler yo frontend-boiler mySite cd mySite gulp localhost:1338

#####To create another module in components: cd mySite yo frontend-boiler:mod modName

####Structure
index.jade #bootstrap angular assets/ #images, sass, etc app/ #angular --common/ # modules likely to be reused across many --components/ # modules based on concern | --home/ | --index.coffee # bootstraps --controllers.coffee # all controllers for this module go here --services.coffee --factories.coffee --directives.coffee

A component's index.coffee contains:

app = angular.module('home', [])

require('./controllers')(app)
require('./directives')(app)
#require('./services')(app)
#require('./factories')(app)

module.exports = app

A controllers.coffee file would look like:

module.exports = (app)->
  app.controller('homeCtrl', ($scope)->

  )
  .controller('anotherCtrl', ($scope, someService) ->
    #do stuff
  )

An example of requiring a compnonent in our app (app.coffee):

home = require('./components/home')
routes = require('./routes')

angular.module('simple',['ngRoute', home.name])
.config(routes)

In the above example home is a component's folder name. How clean is that!

#####Notes: 1. Our gulp file minifies/concatenates our coffee files, but thanks to gulp-ng-annotate you don't have to worry about using the array of string includes, typically required. Instead of .controller('anotherCtrl',['$scope','someService', ($scope, someService) -> we only need .controller('anotherCtrl', ($scope, someService) -> 2. Livereload is setup so no reloading/refreshing
