slush-y

Why 'Y' ? Because it is easy to type!

A slush generator for Best Practices with AngularJS Fullstack applications.

Inspired by MEAN Inspired by slush-meanjs Inspired by John Papa's angularjs-styleguide

NEW

Generators now support flags, in place of the prompts

Getting Started

Installation

Install slush-y globally:

$ npm install -g slush-y

Remember to install gulp and slush globally as well, if you haven't already:

$ npm install -g gulp slush

Usage

Create a new folder for your project:

$ mkdir my-slush-y

Run the generator from within the new folder:

$ cd my-slush-y && slush y

Run the app

To run the app , first make sure mongoDB is running ($ mongod) then

$ gulp dev

and navigate to http://localhost:9000

To generate minified js & css files inside the dist/ folder, run, this will also boot up a server for you to view the minified version

$ gulp dist

To run tests (TESTS Are Currently not all working)

$ gulp test

Issues

The testing currently does not work
The Oauth needs to be configured
Possible Bug issues on the client side

Application Generator

The application generator will provide you with a rich and well structure starting template to build your next team project. The application is a Full Stack application with node & express server, and a modularly architected client.

In order To create your MEAN application, navigate to a new project folder, and then use slush y to generate your application:

$ slush y

The generator will ask you a few questions about your new application and will generate it for you. When the installation process is over, you will be able to use gulp to run your new MEAN application:

$ gulp

Now, the application generator does a great job scaffolding a whole application, but daily work requires us to repeat a lot of structured code. For this purpose we provided you with some sub-generators to help you speed up your development.

CRUD Module Sub-Generator

The CRUD module sub-generator will help you create a new CRUD module (CREATE, READ, UPDATE, DELETE).

To create a new CRUD module you will need to use slush y again:

$ slush y:crud <module-name>

--flags

y:crud <module-name> --folders 'config,services'
y:crud <module-name> -f 'config,services'

The --folders flag requires the input to be a comma separated list, with no spaces.

y:crud <module-name> --menu

The --menus flag adds a link to the module in the navigation bar dynamically

The CRUD Module will generate a whole new module in your client side modules directory.

Client

api
- {module-name}.api.service.js
config
- {module-name}.routes.js
controllers
- {module-name}.list.controller.js
- {module-name}.detail.controller.js
- {module-name}.create.controller.js
views
- {module-name}.view.js
- {module-name}.detail.view.js
- {module-name}.edit.view.js
- {module-name}.create.view.js

This will also generator the full api for this module. the angular-service in the api directory is directly connected to the api created on the backend.

Server

{module-name}.model.js - (Mongoose Model & Schema)
{module-name}.controller.js - (Express request and response handler)
{module-name}.route.js - (Express Restful Router)
{module-name}.test.js - (mocha super test)
{module-name}.socket.js - (Socket.io integration)
{module-name}.seed.js - (MongoDB Seed)

The Module comes packed with everything you need to start developing.

Note: Don’t forget to use your module name as an argument when calling the CRUD module sub-generator.

AngularJS Module Sub-Generator

Generates a new AngularJS module structure. For this purpose you can use the Angular module sub-generator. It will create the proper folder structure for you and the module initialization file. Creating a new AngularJS module is simple:

$ slush y:module <module-name>

--Flags

y:module <name> --folders 'config,services'
y:module <name> -f 'config,services'

The --folders flag requires the input to be a comma separated list, with no spaces.

The sub-generator will ask for more information about your folder structure, and will create the empty new AngularJS module. Instead of manually filling out the components ti this new module, we can use the provided sub-generators to fill in the missing gaps.

Note: Don’t forget to use your module name as an argument when calling the CRUD module sub-generator.

AngularJS Sub-Generators

The Sub-Generators will read the current modules in modules directory, and ask will which which module to use. Based upon your option, the generator will generate the proper files the proper directory within the chosen module.

Global -- Flags for all sub-generators

Set the module for the sub-generator, and bypass the prompt.

y:<generator> <name> --module 'people'

y:<generator> <name> -m 'people'

AngularJS Route Sub-Generator

To construct your module you will often need to create a new route. The AngularJS route sub-generator will help you create a view, controller and a proper route in your module routes.js file. If it can’t find the module routes file the sub-generator will create one for you. Creating a new AngularJS route will involve executing this command:

$ slush y:route <route-name>

--Flags

Specify whether you would like a complex or simple route.

y:route <name> --complex

y:route <name> --simple

The --menu flag allows you to dynamically add the route to the navigation bar

y:route <name> --menu

Complex Route

The Complex option will provide you with the following

conifg/
- {name}.route.js
- {name}.run.js --- (for dynamically adding to the menu)
controllers/
- {name}.controller.js
tests/
- {name}.controller.test.js
styles/
- {name}.style.css
views/
- {name}.view.html

Simple Route

The Simple option will provide you with the following

conifg/
- {name}.route.js
- {name}.run.js --- (for dynamically adding to the menu)

The Route sub-generator will ask for more information about your controller, view and routing URL, and will generate the appropriate files for you.

AngularJS API Sub-Generator

Connecting simple api's from the client to the server can be a tedious job. However, thanks to the API sub-generator, you simply create a fully restful api interface on the server, and an API AngularJS Service that connects to it; within the module you specify. Creating a new AngularJS API will involve executing this command:

$ slush y:api <api-name>

--Flags

Here you can dynamically create the Mongo Schema from the command line.

y:api <name> --fields 'name:String, age:Number'

y:api <name> --f name:String -f age:Number

You will notice there are two ways to create the Schema... However, both require that you separate the column name from the type with a ' : '

if you decide to use the --fields or the prompt each Schema Type must be comma separated.

NOTE: arguments must be passed as a comma separated list with no spaces. Don’t forget! This time you pass the controller name as an argument.

The API Sub-Generator will generate the following

Client

api/
- {name}.api.service.js

Server

api/
- {name}.route.js
- {name}.controller.js
- {name}.modle.js
- {name}.seed.js
- {name}.socket.js

AngularJS Controller Sub-Generator

The AngularJS Controller sub-generator will create a new AngularJS controller in the specified module's controllers folder. To create a new AngularJS controller run slush y again by using this command:

$ slush y:controller <controller-name>

--Flags

Dynamically create the functions that will be on scope from the command line

y:controller <name> --functions 'actionOne, actionTwo'

y:controller <name>r -f 'actionOne, actionTwo'

Example of a dynamically added function;

  $scope.actionOne = actionOne;

    //////////////////

    /*
     * actionOne      description
     * @return {[type]} description
     *
     */
    function actionOne() {}

Dynamically inject providers to the to the controller

y:controller <name> --providers '$scope,$http,$q'

y:controller <name> -p '$scope,$http,$q'

Example of dynamically injected providers

   angular
      .module('moduleName')
      .controller('SomeController', SomeController);

    function SomeController($scope,$http,$q) {}

NOTE: arguments must be passed as a comma separated list with no spaces. NOTE: if using a $ in one of the providers, it must be escaped.

The sub-generator will ask you for the module name under which you would like to create your new controller, and will create a new AngularJS controller file in that module controllers folder.

Don’t forget! This time you pass the controller name as an argument.

AngularJS Service Sub-Generator

The AngularJS service sub-generator will create a new AngularJS service in the specified module's services folder. To create a new AngularJS service you will need to execute this command:

$ slush y:service <service-name>

--Flags

Dynamically create the functions that will exist on the service

y:service <name> --functions 'actionOne,actionTwo'

y:service <name> -f 'actionOne,actionTwo'

Example of a dynamically added function;

    /*
     * actionOne      description
     * @return {[type]} description
     *
     */
    this.actionOne = function() {}

Dynamically inject providers to the to the service.

y:service <name> --providers '$http,$q'

y:service <name> -p '$http,$q'

Example of dynamically injecting providers

   angular
     .module('moduleName')
     .service('Storage', Storage);
   /* @inject */
   function Storage ($http, $q){}

NOTE: arguments must be passed as a comma separated list with no spaces. NOTE: if using a $ in one of the providers, it must be escaped.

The sub-generator will ask you for the module name under which you would like to create your new service, and will create a new AngularJS service file in that module's services folder.

AngularJS Factory Sub-Generator

The AngularJS factory sub-generator will create a new AngularJS factory in the specified module's factory folder. To create a new AngularJS factory you will need to execute this command:

$ slush y:factory <factory-name>

--Flags

Dynamically create the functions that will exist on the factory

y:factory <name> --functions 'actionOne,actionTwo'

y:factory <name> -f 'actionOne,actionTwo'

Example of a dynamically added function;

  return {
      actionOne:actionOne
  }
    /*
     * actionOne      description
     * @return {[type]} description
     *
     */
  function actionOne() {}

Dynamically inject providers to the to the factory.

y:factory <name> --providers '$http,$q'

y:factory <name> -p '$http,$q'

Example of dynamically injected providers

  angular
    .module('moduleName')
    .factory('Storage', Storage);
  /* @inject */
    function Storage ($http, $q){}

NOTE: arguments must be passed as a comma separated list with no spaces. NOTE: if using a $ in one of the providers, it must be escaped.

The sub-generator will ask you for the module name under which you would like to create your new service, and will create a new AngularJS service file in that module's factory folder.

AngularJS Directive Sub-Generator

The AngularJS directive sub-generator will create a new AngularJS directive in the specified module's directives folder. Creating a new AngularJS directive should already look familiar:

$ slush y:directive <directive-name>

--Flags

Specify whether you want a simple or complex directive.

y:directive <name> --complex

y:directive <name> --simple

Dynamically create the functions that will be on scope from the command line

y:directive <name> --functions 'actionOne,actionTwo'

y:directive <name> -f 'actionOne,actionTwo'

Example of a dynamically added function

  function link(scope, element, attrs) {

      /**
       * action description
       * @return {[type]} description
       */
      function action (){}
    }

Dynamically inject providers to the to the directive.

y:directive <name> --providers '$http,$q'

y:directive <name> -p '$http,$q'

Example of dynamically injected providers

  angular
    .module('moduleName')
    .directive('myAction', myAction);
  /* @inject */
    function myAction ($http, $q){}

NOTE: arguments must be passed as a comma separated list with no spaces. NOTE: if using a $ in one of the providers, it must be escaped.

The sub-generator will ask you for the module name under which you would like to create your new directive, and will create a new AngularJS directive file in that module's directives folder.

Complex Directive

The complex directive will provide you with the following

{name}.directive.js
{name}.styles.css
{name}.view.js
{name}.test.js

Simple Directive

The complex directive will provide you with the following

{name}.directive.js

AngularJS Filter Sub-Generator

The AngularJS filter sub-generator will create a new AngularJS filter in a specified module's filters folder. To create a new AngularJS filter you need to call slush y again:

$ slush y:filter <filter-name>

--Flags

Dynamically create the functions within the filter.

y:filter <name> --functions 'actionOne,actionTwo'

y:filter <name> -f 'actionOne,actionTwo'

Example of a dynamically created function

  function filter(input) {
    return action( input )
      /**
       * action description
       * @return {[type]} description
       */
      function action (){}
    }

Dynamically inject providers to the to the filter.

y:filter <name> --providers '$http,$q'

y:filter <name> -p '$http,$q'

Example of dynamically injected providers

  angular
    .module('moduleName')
    .filter('myFilter', myFilter);
  /* @inject */
    function myFilter ($http, $q){}

The sub-generator will ask you for the module name under which you would like to create your new filter, and will create a new AngularJS filter file in that module filters folder.

AngularJS Config Sub-Generator

The AngularJS config sub-generator will create a new AngularJS config section in a specified module's config folder. To create a new AngularJS config file just call slush y:

$ slush y:config <config-name>

--Flags

Dynamically inject providers to the to the configuration.

y:config <name> --providers '$http,$q'

y:config <name> -p '$http,$q'

Example of dynamically injected providers

  angular
    .module('moduleName')
    .config(Configuration);
  /* @inject */
    function Configuration ($http, $q){}

The sub-generator will ask you for the module name under which you would like to create your new config, and will create a new AngularJS config file in that module's config folder.

AngularJS View Sub-Generator

Once you have your controller file ready, you may want to add a view that makes use of this controller. The AngularJS view sub-generator will create a new AngularJS view in the specified module's views folder, and will allow you to add a route definition for it. To create a new AngularJS view you will need to execute this command:

$ slush y:view <view-name>

The sub-generator will ask you for the module name under which you would like to create your new view, and some additional routing information. It will then create a new view file in that module's views folder.

AngularJS Test Sub-Generator

Coming Soon!!!

Your MEAN application comes pre-bundled with the Karma test runner and Jasmine testing framework. To test your AngularJS controllers you’ll need to create a test file, which Karma will later use to run the tests. For this purpose we provided you with the AngularJS test sub-generator. Creating a new AngularJS test is effortless, just execute this command:

$ slush y:test <controller-name>

This will create a test file for your controller, and if the sub-generator doesn’t find the specified controller file, it will create one for you.

Don’t forget! You're suppose to pass the controller name as an argument.

Express Model Sub-Generator

Coming Soon!!!

Often you will find the need to just create a single Express model. The Express model sub-generator will help you with creating an Express model in the app/models folder. To create a new model just use slush y:

$ slush y:express-model <model-name>

This will create a new empty model in the app/models folder and a test file in the app/tests folder.

Note: It is recommended you avoid naming your model in plural form and use a singular form instead. i.e article and not articles

Express Controller Sub-Generator

Coming Soon!!!

Another recurring task is creating an empty Express controller. The Express controller sub-generator will help you with creating an Express controller in the app/controllers folder. To create a new controller just use slush y:

$ slush y:express-controller <controller-name>

This will create a new empty controller in the app/controllers folder.

Express Routes Sub-Generator

Coming Soon!!!

To make HTTP requests to your controller methods you will need to use a routing file in the app/routes folder. The Express routes sub-generator will help you to add a new empty routes file. To create a new routes file execute this slush y command:

$ slush y:express-route <route-name>

This will create a new empty route file in the app/routes folder.

Express Test Sub-Generator

Coming Soon!!!

Your MEAN application comes pre-bundled with the Mocha testing framework. To test your Express models you’ll need to create a new test file, which Mocha will use while running tests. For this purpose we provided you with the Express test sub-generator. Creating a new Express test is easy, just execute this command:

$ slush y:express-test <model-name>

This will create a test file for your Express model, and if the sub-generator doesn’t find the specified model, it will create one for you.

Don’t forget! You're suppose to pass the model name as an argument.
