Angular ECMAScript 6 config and boilerplate

Do you want to use ES6 with angular and webpack? Here is a simple project with everything what you need at the beginning.

What you will get

• You can write directives like a class
• Autoload directives, controllers, services, filters and factories

Instalation

npm install angular-es6

Examples

Here is multiple examples:

Directive

export default class NiceDirective {
  static $inject = ['$http'];

  constructor($http) {
    this.$http = $http;

    this.template = '<div>{{computeName('NICE')}}</div>';
    this.restrict = 'E';
    this.scope = {
      name: '=',
    };
  }

  link(scope) {
    this.scope = scope;
    scope.computeName = (suffix) => this.computeName(suffix);
  }

  computeName(suffix = '') {
    const { $http, scope } = this;

    return 'Mr.' + scope.name + ' ' +  suffix;
  }
}

Controller

export default class MainController {
  static $inject = ['$scope', '$http'];

  constructor($scope, $http) {
    this.$http = $http;

    $scope.doThis = () => this.doThis();
  }

  doThis() {
    const { $http } = this;
    ...
  }
}

Class Inject

As you can see in the examples above. You need to store injected objects somehow. There is a better solution. You can extend your class with class named Inject and then you can use variable named this.$inject.

In next example is called function doThis from the constructor. You can use this.$inject because this object was initialized by Inject constructor.

Do not forget to use (...args). Inject class need to get all injected objects.

import { Inject } from 'angular-es6';

export default class MainController extends Inject {
  static $inject = ['$http'];

  constructor(...args) {
    super(...args);

    this.doThis();
  }

  doThis() {
    const { $http } = this.$inject;
  }
}

Directive auto Inject

You can use variables from the link function anywhere in your directive code. This feature is available without extending Inject class. Here is small example

export default class NiceDirective {
  static $inject = ['$http'];

  constructor($http) {
    this.$http = $http;

    this.template = '<div>{{computeName('NICE')}}</div>';
    this.restrict = 'E';
    this.scope = {
      name: '=',
    };
  }

  link(scope) {
    scope.computeName = (suffix) => this.computeName(suffix);
  }

  computeName(suffix = '') {
    const { scope, element } = this.link.$inject;

    element.text('Mr.' + scope.name + ' ' +  suffix);
  }
}

Auto load directives

Each directory need to have file index.js with content like this:

import { load } from 'angular-es6';
const MODULE_NAME = 'directives';

load.directives(require.context('./', true, /.*\.js$/));
export default MODULE_NAME;

More examples you can find in the example directory.
