Three.js - JavaScript 3D library. Animation in AngularJS. Learn how to make use of the new animation hooks in AngularJS AngularJS is an outstanding, all-inclusive and extensive framework that is phenomenal for crafting together full-blown JavaScript MVC apps with small amounts of code. But how do you stick in animations into your application? You could simply use CSS transitions combined with CSS classes, but that doesn't hook into the guts of your app.
Or you could somehow tie in callbacks into your directives, but that's a maintenance nightmare and it slows down your app too much (plus it's hard to test). Up until now, it was safe to say that native animations were not present in AngularJS. Well animation is here and yearofmoo is well prepared to hook you up.

Grunt: The JavaScript Task Runner. AngularJS — Superheroic JavaScript MVW Framework. Brian Ford. The AngularJS documentation is great for getting started and for looking up specific API calls. However, it doesn't really tell you how to organize and manage your app as it grows to tens or hundreds of thousands of lines of code. I've collected here some of my observations and best practices for how to manage your sprawling application. First we'll take a look at organization, then move on to some tips on improving performance, and conclude with a brief summary on tools, servers, and build processes.
While this post will focus on big apps in particular, there's a great video on YouTube from the December 2012 AngularJS meetup on best practices that's also worth checking out. Don't Write a Huge App The best advice about huge apps is not to make them. Write small, focused, modular parts, and progressively combine them into bigger things to make your app. Organization Probably the biggest question with large apps is where to put all of that code. Directories Files Modules Dependencies Directives. AngularJS Modules for Great Justice | Coding Smackdown TV. First off I want to thank Joel Hooks of the DFW Area AngularJS Meetup Group for suggesting this topic and providing the title.
“Modules provide an excellent mechanism for cleanly dividing up our code into functional areas. Angular allows us to use modules in many ways. Let’s take a look at modules and some of the approaches we can leverage to produce cleaner more manageable code.” – Joel Hooks So with that, let’s get started. AngularJS modules are the core means by how you define the components in your app. As long as I have been developing with AngularJS there has always been the great best practices debate over how to structure your application. Both have their advantages and disadvantages so let’s take a quick look at each before we get into how to implement each using AngularJS. Package by Feature Package by Feature became popular in the Java development camp a few years back. Package-by-feature uses packages to reflect the feature set. Package by Layer Tiny Projects <! Small Projects <! AngularJS Abstractions: Organizing Modules.
Now that we know a bit about how modules work at an API level, we can look at questions that will be asked more than once in the lifetime of a project, like when to create a module, how many modules to create, and how to organize source code files for a module. One thing to recognize early on is how much flexibility is available. Although the term "module" sounds like the JavaScript module design pattern (a single function inside a single file), there is nothing about an AngularJS module that requires all the code for a module to exist in a single file, or in a single function.
Your code can use multiple JavaScript modules to add features to a single AngularJS module. The code below is creating an alerter service to add to the patientApp.Services module, and could be one of many such pieces of code scattered across various files. Given this amount of flexibility, there are no real limitations on the number of modules and files you create. Reference Material. Code Organization in Large AngularJS and JavaScript Applications — Cliff Meyers. Many developers struggle with how to organize an application's code base once it grows in size.
I've seen this recently in AngularJS and JavaScript applications but historically it's been a problem across all technologies including many Java and Flex apps I've worked on in the past. The general trend is an obsession with organizing things by type. It bears a striking resemblance to the way people organize their clothing. Let's take a look at angular-seed, the official starting point for AngularJS apps.
Css/img/js/ app.jscontrollers.jsdirectives.jsfilters.jsservices.jslib/partials/ The JavaScript directory has one file for every type of object we write. This is a mess. The next logical pass at organizing JavaScript involves creating a directory for some of the archetypes and splitting objects into their own files. Let's imagine we're building a simple e-commerce site with a login flow, product catalog and shopping cart UI's. Nice! Jason Dobry : Building large apps with AngularJS. New to AngularJS?

Introduction There are basically two different ways of implementing server side authentication for apps with a frontend and an API: The most adopted one, is Cookie-Based Authentication (you can find an example here) that uses server side cookies to authenticate the user on every request.A newer approach, Token-Based Authentication, relies on a signed token that is sent to the server on each request. Token based vs. Cookie based The following diagram explains how both of these methods work.
What are the benefits of using a token-based approach? Cross-domain / CORS: cookies + CORS don't play well across different domains. What's JSON Web Token? Asuming you have a node.js app, below you can find the components of this architecture. Server Side Let's start by installing express-jwt and jsonwebtoken: $ npm install express-jwt jsonwebtoken Configure the express middleware to protect every call to /api. The angular app will perform a POST through AJAX with the user's credentials: Angular Side What's next? Closure Tools. What is the Closure Compiler? The Closure Compiler is a tool for making JavaScript download and run faster. Instead of compiling from a source language to machine code, it compiles from JavaScript to better JavaScript.
It parses your JavaScript, analyzes it, removes dead code and rewrites and minimizes what's left. It also checks syntax, variable references, and types, and warns about common JavaScript pitfalls. How can I use the Closure Compiler? You can use the Closure Compiler as: An open source Java application that you can run from the command line. To get started with the compiler, see "How do I start" below.
