With node.js came full-stack javascript. However, developers still had to use different frameworks to build frontend apps and their backend apis. Enter ng, now there is an elegant, full-stack AngularJS framework with no other dependencies
While still in pre-alpha, ng is being built for production environments with sponsorship by Pook-n-Cheek. If you are interested in contributing to the project, email adam at adam.kircher@gmail.com
//Enter in the url or file path of module dependencies. ng will load them first
var modules =
{
ng:'//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.2.6/angular.js',
ngRoute:'node_modules/ng.cdn/1.2.0-route.js'
}
require('ng')(modules, function(ng)
{
//ng is a listener that accepts a request & reponse
require('http').createServer(ng).listen(1337)
//Just like most node.js frameworks ng uses a stack of middleware
//however its middleware uses Angular's interceptor API. Valid
//properties include request, requestError, response, responseError
//The example below sends an app's base template if the response has no data
ng.stack(function()
{
return {
response:function(data)
{
//ng.toString() will concatenate all modules, replacing
//the need to specify each one manually. To do it the
//manual way replace ng with the three lines below:
//'<script>'+ng.module('ng')+'</script>',
//'<script>'+ng.module('ngRoute')+'</script>',
//'<script>'+ng.module('example')+'</script>',
return data ||
[
"<html ng-app='example'>",
"<head>",
ng,
"</head>",
"<body>",
"<div class='ng-view'></div>",
"</body>",
"</html>"
]
.join('\n')
}
}
})
//Now we are done with ng specifics, the rest of our app looks
//almost exactly like angular!!! Look carefully to spot some
//nodejs specific functions like require/readFile/__dirname etc.
.module('example', ['ngRoute'])
//Because it has a require, this factory will be placed the server.
//If you access from the client - e.g., in a controller - then ng
//will send an http request run the function on the server and
//return the result, so it will look like it was run on the client
.factory('$os', function($http, $cpus)
{
var os = require('os')
return [os.cpus, os.cpus]
})
//This factory will be put on server and client
//it will be run from whereever it is accessed
.factory('me', function(us) { return 'hi' })
//Easily import 3rd party code such as a db factory/directive
.factory('db', require('ng.cql').factory)
.directive('db', require('ng.cql').directive)
//Controllers are automatically put on the client
.controller('base', function($scope, $os, $cpus, $http, db)
{
$scope.test = db('test').select('*')
$scope.os = $os[1]()
$scope.version = ng.version
})
//Configs/runs are put on client and server. We make an exception
//for templates, where the template parser will run the template
//on the server (readFileSync in this case) and push that result
//to the client config. All config/runs are put on client as-is
.config(function($routeProvider, $locationProvider)
{
$routeProvider
.when('/george', {
template: require('fs').readFileSync('view/george.html'),
controller: 'base'
})
.when('/adam',
{
template:require('fs').readFileSync('view/adam.html'),
controller: 'base'
})
$locationProvider.html5Mode(true);
})
//OPTIONAL ADVANCED USAGE
//Internally ng pre-processes your module code, this functionality
//is added to the public api as ng.parse(), allowing cool things like
//automatically creating angularjs's inline injection array,
//or making your code pretty with automatic indentation.
//Include these stock parsers by specifying 'inline' and/or 'whitespace'
ng.parse('inline').parse('whitespace')
//Make your own custom parsers using the function signature below
//For more example's look at the stock parsers in parser.js
//.parse.client() and .parse.server() provide more granularity
.parse(function(fn, type, name)
{
//Uncomment lines below to see how a custom parser works
//console.log('I am parsing', type, name)
//console.log('Function to parse & return', fn.toString())
//console.log('Module API available as this', this)
return fn //I didn't do anything, kept function as-is
})
})
