Karma-jawr NPM

Karma JAWR

Karma + JAWR Integration.

Concert & Situations

When you are using J2EE for your web application and using server-render template engine (JSP,JSF,Freemarker,Velocity), you might using some web resource bundling solution.

JAWR used to be a JavaEE official web resource packing solution in Java way.

But how can we setup a universal unittest way for JAWR style loading resource way?

If you are noticed karma is popular with managing frontend javascript side and easily integrated with reporters and CI.

Here is a karma-plugin to help you generate some commonjs style temp file by parsing jawr.properties. So that you can use webpack or other preprocessor for writing frontend unittest in a graceful way.

JAWR Options

configLocation: Absolute path, point to jawr.properties or spring-jawr-context.xml
webappLocation: Absolute path, point to your maven war project webapp folder
targetLocation: Absolute path, point to a temp build folder, for require syntax
localeConfigLocation: Absolute path, optional, if using jawr message generator and using messages: syntax in jawr properties file, suppose to pre-generate by resources bundle and add as global serving files in the karma config.files.

Usage

Installation

$ yarn add -D karma-jawr

Karma Configuration

plugins:[
  ....,
  'karma-jawr'

the value must be absolute path.

jawr: {
  configLocation: pathUtil.resolve('src/main/resources/jawr/') + 'jawr.properties',
  webappLocation: pathUtil.resolve('src/main/webapp'),
  targetLocation: pathUtil.resolve('src/test/js/build')
}

If you are using jawr provided locale generator for frontend locale string You can also add localeConfigLocation for locating your locale bundle resources.

Sample Project

You can refer to this sample project. It using last generation J2EE way web application.

Using SpringMVC + JSF + JAWR + ExtJs for building a deployable war file.

And Integrated with travis.ci and coveralls.io for CI.
