A Yeoman generator for AngularJS and Spin.
Spin is a Racket-based micro-framework. For AngularJS integration with other micro-frameworks, see https://github.com/rayokota/MicroFrameworkRosettaStone.
Install Git, node.js, and Racket. The development mode also requires SQLite.
Install Yeoman:
npm install -g yo
Install the Angular-Spin generator:
npm install -g generator-angular-spin
The above prerequisites can be installed to a VM using the Angular-Spin provisioner.
In a new directory, generate the service:
yo angular-spin
Install dependencies:
raco pkg install racquel
Run the service:
racket app.rkt
Your service will run at http://localhost:8080.
Generate the entity:
yo angular-spin:entity [myentity]
You will be asked to specify attributes for the entity, where each attribute has the following:
- a name
- a type (String, Integer, Float, Boolean, Date, Enum)
- for a String attribute, an optional minimum and maximum length
- for a numeric attribute, an optional minimum and maximum value
- for a Date attribute, an optional constraint to either past values or future values
- for an Enum attribute, a list of enumerated values
- whether the attribute is required
Files that are regenerated will appear as conflicts. Allow the generator to overwrite these files as long as no custom changes have been made.
Run the service:
racket app.rkt
A client-side AngularJS application will now be available by running
grunt server
The Grunt server will run at http://localhost:9000. It will proxy REST requests to the Spin service running at http://localhost:8080.
At this point you should be able to navigate to a page to manage your persistent entities.
The Grunt server supports hot reloading of client-side HTML/CSS/Javascript file changes.
