Angular JS
A brief Introduction
Adekunle
What is AngularJS
MVC Javascript Framework by Google
for Rich Web Application
Development
Why AngularJS
Other frameworks deal with HTMLs shortcomings by either abstracting away
HTML, CSS, and/or JavaScript or by providing an imperative way for
manipulating the DOM. Neither of these address the root problem that HTML
was not designed for dynamic views.
Structure, Quality and Organization
Lightweight (< 36KB compressed and minified)
Free
Separation of concern
Modularity
Extensibility & Maintainability
Reusable Components
HTML? Build UI Declaratively! CSS? Animations! JavaScript? Use it the plain
old way!
jQuery
Allows for DOM Manipulation
Does not provide structure to your
code
Does not allow for two way binding
Other Javascript MV*
Frameworks
BackboneJS
EmberJS
Features of AngularJS
Two-way Data Binding Model as single
source of truth
Directives Extend HTML
MVC
Dependency Injection
Testing
Deep Linking (Map URL to route
Definition)
Server-Side Communication
Data Binding
<html ng-app>
<head>
<script src='angular.js'></script>
</head>
<body>
<input ng-model='user.name'>
<div ng-show='user.name'>Hi
{{user.name}}</div>

function XXXX($scope) {
$scope.user = { name:'Larry' };
}
Hello HTML
<p>Hello World!</p>
Hello Javascript
<p id="greeting1"></p>
<script>
var isIE = document.attachEvent;
var addListener = isIE
? function(e, t, fn) {
e.attachEvent('on' + t, fn);}
: function(e, t, fn) {
e.addEventListener(t, fn, false);};
addListener(document, 'load', function(){
var greeting = document.getElementById('greeting1');
if (isIE) {
greeting.innerText = 'Hello World!';
} else {
greeting.textContent = 'Hello World!';
}
});
</script>
Hello JQuery
<p id="greeting2"></p>
<script>
$(function(){
$('#greeting2').text('Hello World!');
});
</script>
Hello AngularJS
<p ng:init="greeting = 'Hello
World!'">{{greeting}}</p>

App Skeleton
Final View (Championship
Table)
Sample Angular Powered
View
<body ng-app="F1FeederApp" ng-controller="driversController">
<table>
<thead>
<tr><th colspan="4">Drivers Championship Standings</th></tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr ng-repeat="driver in driversList">
<td>{{$index + 1}}</td>
<td>
<img src="img/flags/{{driver.Driver.nationality}}.png" />
{{driver.Driver.givenName}} {{driver.Driver.familyName}}
</td>
<td>{{driver.Constructors[0].name}}</td>
<td>{{driver.points}}</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</body>
Expressions
Expressions allow you to execute some
computation in order to return a desired
value.
{{ 1 + 1 }}
{{ 946757880 | date }}
{{ user.name }}
you shouldnt use expressions to
implement any higher-level logic.
Directives
Directives are markers (such as attributes, tags, and
class names) that tell AngularJS to attach a given
behaviour to a DOM element (or transform it, replace
it, etc.)
Some angular directives
Theng-app- Bootstrapping your app and defining its
scope.
Theng-controller - defines which controller will be in
charge of your view.
Theng-repeat- Allows for looping through collections
Directives as Components
<rating max='5' model='stars.average'>
<tabs>
<tab title='Active tab' view='...'>
<tab title='Inactive tab' view='...'>
</tabs>
<tooltip content='messages.tip1'>
Adding Controllers
angular.module('F1FeederApp.controllers', []).
controller('driversController', function($scope) {
$scope.driversList = [
{
Driver: {
givenName: 'Sebastian',
familyName: 'Vettel'
},
points: 322,
nationality: "German",
Constructors: [
{name: "Red Bull"}
]
},
{
Driver: {
givenName: 'Fernando',
familyName: 'Alonso'
},
points: 207,
nationality: "Spanish",
Constructors: [
{name: "Ferrari"}
]
}
];
});
The $scope
variable Link your
controllers and
view
App.js
angular.module('F1FeederApp', [
'F1FeederApp.controllers'
]);
Initializes our app and register the
modules on which it depends
Index.html
<body ng-app="F1FeederApp" ng-controller="driversController">
<table>
<thead>
<tr><th colspan="4">Drivers Championship Standings</th></tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr ng-repeat="driver in driversList">
<td>{{$index + 1}}</td>
<td>
<img src="img/flags/{{driver.Driver.nationality}}.png" />
{{driver.Driver.givenName}} {{driver.Driver.familyName}}
</td>
<td>{{driver.Constructors[0].name}}</td>
<td>{{driver.points}}</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<script src="bower_components/angular/angular.js"></script>
<script src="bower_components/angular-route/angular-route.js"></script>
<script src="js/app.js"></script>
<script src="js/services.js"></script>
<script src="js/controllers.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
Loading data from the
server(services.js)
angular.module('F1FeederApp.services',
[]).
factory('ergastAPIservice', function($http)
{
$http - a layer on top ofXMLHttpRequest
orJSONP
$resource - provides a higher level of
abstraction
var ergastAPI = {};
Dependency Injection
ergastAPI.getDrivers = function() {
return $http({
method: 'JSONP',
url:
'http://ergast.com/api/f1/2013/driverStan
dings.json?callback=JSON_CALLBACK'
});
}
return ergastAPI;
});
we create a new module
(F1FeederApp.services) and register a
service within that module
(ergastAPIservice).
Modified controller.js
angular.module('F1FeederApp.controllers', []).
controller('driversController', function($scope,
ergastAPIservice) {
$scope.nameFilter = null;
$scope.driversList = [];
ergastAPIservice.getDrivers().success(function (response) {
//Dig into the responde to get the relevant data
$scope.driversList =
response.MRData.StandingsTable.StandingsLists[0].DriverSta
ndings;
});
});
Routes
$routeProvider used for dealing with routes
Modified app.js
angular.module('F1FeederApp', [
'F1FeederApp.services',
'F1FeederApp.controllers',
'ngRoute'
]).
config(['$routeProvider', function($routeProvider) {
$routeProvider.
when("/drivers", {templateUrl: "partials/drivers.html", controller:
"driversController"}).
when("/drivers/:id", {templateUrl: "partials/driver.html", controller:
"driverController"}).
otherwise({redirectTo: '/drivers'});
}]);
Partial views
