angular-spring-webmvc

###Prepare Before you start, make sure you have the following software on your machine:

• java 7
• maven 3
• node.js
• ruby (required for sass/compass)
• git (even if you download this as ZIP, git is needed in the PATH because some bower dependencies are fetched via git)

####install compass This project uses sass and compass, install it via rubygems:

gem install compass

####install grunt, bower and yeoman Install these tools via the node packaging manager npm:

npm install -g grunt-cli bower yo

####special steps for windows

• add an environment variable CHROME_BIN pointing to chrome.exe (needed for karma)
• make sure the bin folder of your rubygems repo is in your PATH (more information here)

###Run To build and deploy the application locally in a jetty server, run:

mvn jetty:run-war

(Note: the goal jetty:run will only start the backend and not serve the client application)

Build

In the root directory:

mvn install

####Build client only In /src/main/js

npm install && bower update && grunt

After you have done this once and the npm packages and bower dependencies are installed you only have to run

grunt

###Develop For development you may want to run the server and client parts independenly. This allows you to deploy the WAR in your favorite IDE in a local servlet container (maybe even with JRebel!) and run the grunt 'server' task with live-reload at the same time.

• make sure you run your servlet container on port 8080 and set the context path to '/' (The grunt task 'server' will forward all requests to http://localhost/rest to this port, you can change this in Gruntfile.js)
• deploy the war and start the server
• in src/main/js run

grunt server
