An AngularJS app that uses Lineman

Small first citizen web application showing the different parts of an AngularJS application: controllers, factories, directives, filters using Coffeescript It also shows how to do simple authentication and illustrates the use of a REST backend Uses Lineman as a productivity tool, totally decoupling the front and backend parts.

Note: the repository story-backend is a Grails Rest app that needs to be run together with the client. It relies on mongodb so you need to have it installed.

6. open your web browser to localhost:8000

Running Tests

1. lineman run from 1 terminal window
2. lineman spec from another terminal window, this will launch Testem and execute specs in Chrome

Defining your apps angular.module in CoffeeScript

If you are using Coffeescript to define the angular.module for your app, you will need to swap the concat order in config/application.js such that coffeescript files are included before javascript, here's a sample config. (If you are using JavaScript for defining the angular.module the default concat order is fine).

js: {
  // if using coffeescript and your angular.module is defined in a .coffee file, files.coffee.generated comes first
  src: ["<%= files.js.vendor %>", "<%= files.coffee.generated %>", "<%= files.js.app %>", "<%= files.ngtemplates.dest %>"],
  dest: "<%= files.js.concatenated %>"
},
