Philosophy

« Perfection is achieved not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away. » — Antoine De Saint-Exupéry

• NO support for outdated browsers — Working for IE users? Too bad.
• NO pre-install for Google Analytics — Wanna track people? Do it yourself.
• Livereload on changes in client / server — You don't have time to waste.
• JSHint integration — Write clean code, for purpose.
• Sass support — Because CSS is a mess.
• Fast build — You do faster? Let's see that.

Optional:

• sockets, with socket.io and angular-socket-io
• authentication system, with Passport
• MongoDB, with Mongoose ODM
• mocked backend, with Restock

Manage project

gulp

Default task, run the server. Build sass files, inject all scripts and styles to the project, watch them and open your default browser.

gulp build

Wipe old generated dist directory while keeping the .git to preserve your remotes configuration. Concat all the scripts and vendors in one minified .js file, same thing for your styles. Rev all resources for caching purposes; copy the server part.

gulp preview

Run the gulp build process and serve the dist directory.

gulp test [--client || --server]

Launch client and server tests, using Karma and Mocha, both by default.

gulp control

Validate the app through JSHint.

gulp bump [--major || --minor || --patch]

Bump versions of package.json and bower.json files using Semantic Versioning and commit them. Default to patch.

App

This is the main generator of Bangular, that will scaffold entierely your project based on your needs.

yo bangular || yo bangular <appName>

Backend type: MongoDB / Restock / Json
Modules : angular-cookies || angular-resource || angular-sanitize || angular-animate
Socket.IO : Do you want to integrate sockets in your app?

Directive

yo bangular:directive <name>

The name parameter is required. Directives will be generated at client/directives/. You can specify if your directive needs an html template or not.

Filter

yo bangular:filter <name>

The name parameter is required. Filters will be generated at client/filters/.

Font

yo bangular:font <name>

The name parameter is required. Fonts will generate a new folder in client/assets/fonts/ and a .scss file importing all of these fonts in your app. It will be imported in your app.scss file either on top of the file or after the // imports mark if specified.

Route

yo bangular:route <name>

Url: Client url to access the route.

The name parameter is required. This will create in client/views/:

name
├ name.js
├ name.controller.js
├ name.spec.js
└ name.html

Service

yo bangular:service <name>
yo bangular:factory <name>

The name parameter is required. The service / factory and its spec file will be generated at client/services/.

Style

yo bangular:style <name>

Inject: If true, an @import will be added to the main app.scss file to add the style to your app. You can specify the location of your new imports by adding a // imports in the file.

The name parameter is required. This will create a new .scss file in he client/styles/ folder.

Api

yo bangular:api <name>

Url: Route that will be exposed on your server to access this ressource.
Socket: If you want to emit socket event on model changes.

The name parameter is required. A name folder will be created at server/api/.

Features

Sockets

To use the sockets, you have to confirm the option on project generation. Yet, it's only when you've selected the mongo backend that you can be prompted by this config.

This will initialize all the server part and create a Socket factory in the client. On each new api you create, you can choose to load the sockets for this model. It will then emit socket events on update and remove of documents of this model.

The sockets can be quickly usable in your controllers, here is an example with a simple item.

Passport

On project generation, you can integrate passport authentification in your app. It will create default views for the signup and login. You can easily protect your routes for a connected user by adding the isAuthenticated middleware on it.
