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. The "app" directory contains the following structure: Angular Structure: Refactoring for Growth. Your Angular app is growing and you want your structure to adapt with it.
Let’s explore one way you can approach this. As your app grows it becomes even more important to structure it in a way that makes it easy to manage and maintain it. I recently posted a common technique I use when I create a new app to help structure it. A simple structure by type is easy out of the gate, as the app generally starts with a single set of features. This usually starts as the first module you write. Options for Managing Growth I like the type organization (folders for controllers and views, for example), but as an app grows, instead of putting that at the root and putting all views and controllers in their own folders, sometimes it makes more sense to organize them 1 level deeper into feature areas.
So how might this look? Sort By Type On the left we have the app organized by type. Sort By Feature On the left the project is organized by feature. Structuring for Modules Your Choice. AngularJS: an Overview - Glenn Stovall. AngularJS is a JavaScript framework made by Google for building complex client-side applications.
Angular’s killer feature is ‘directives’ which allow you to extend HTML by creating your own tags and attributes. Angular projects have a somewhat different structure than other JavaScript MVC frameworks, but it can be highly modular and easy to maintain once you understand the structure. Let’s take a look at the main components of AngularJS and how they work, and why you should strongly consider Angular for your next project. The Philosophy of AngularJS Data First If you are familiar with JavaScript libraries like jQuery, using AngularJS will require a bit of a paradigm shift.
Highly Testable. Authentication in Single Page Applications with Angular.js - A Modest Proposal. 9/2/2014 update:The GitHub repo now uses UI-router instead of the standard ngRoute routing module.
This blog post will still illustrate the original technique utilizing ngRoute, while information regarding the UI-router approach can be found in the GitHub repo as well as this blogpost. The example app in the repo has been deployed to Heroku, so now you can test it out live for yourself right here. A separate blogpost discussing the complementing server-side code can be found here.
I have been working a lot with Angular.js lately, and love how easy it makes it to create web applications with rich client-side functionality. It's an extremely useful asset in keeping your own client-side code lean, making it easy to separate business logic and declarative markup for anything view specific.
How do I deal with authentication and authorization in single page applications? The server needs to communicate what permissions/role the client has on inital page load. How does Angular JS relate to Google Closure? - Super Answer. Posted on 06-20 by Polan (798 votes, average: 4.8 out of 5) Now that AngularJS 1.0 is released I am wondering how this project fits together with the other general-purpose JavaScript framework / tool from Google, Closure.
I have only seen basic description of those two technologies (and read about a half of the book on Closure) so I have no direct experience but this is how it looks to me: Closure is a set of technologies that can be used separately. What I find probably the most appealing is: Closure Compiler which seems to "fix JavaScript" in a sense that it warns against typical issues, provides some compile-time checks (not all people like this but probably most Google developers do, and I do too). And of course it's nice that the resulting code is smaller and more efficient.Then there are some parts of Closure Library that I like, e.g. abstractions over built-in types (ArrayLike etc.), class-based system, eventing mechanism, DOM abstractions etc.

@googlegroups.comSubject: RE: AngularJS, ARIA and accessibility Ian, The main content area is always just a landmark region, e.g., role="main" as on Google results. Widgets may be in the main region or other regions as well. For example, menubars are often in the banner region. The main content itself could be a mix of many widgets and content. Again, you can just think of a widget in the same way you think of a form control.
