A Yeoman generator for AngularJS and Express with Sequelize.
Install Git, node.js, and Ruby. The development mode also requires SQLite.
Install Yeoman:
npm install -g yo
Install the Angular-Express-Sequelize generator:
npm install -g generator-angular-express-sequelize
In a new directory, generate the service:
yo angular-express-sequelize
Run the service:
rackup
Your service will run at http://localhost:9292.
Generate the entity:
yo angular-express-sequelize:entity [myentity]
You will be asked to specify attributes for the entity, where each attribute has the following:
- a name
- a type (String, Integer, Float, Boolean, Date, Enum)
- for a String attribute, an optional minimum and maximum length
- for a numeric attribute, an optional minimum and maximum value
- for a Date attribute, an optional constraint to either past values or future values
- for an Enum attribute, a list of enumerated values
- whether the attribute is required
Run the service:
rackup
A client-side AngularJS application will now be available by running
grunt server
The Grunt server will run at http://localhost:9000. It will proxy REST requests to the Express service running at http://localhost:3000.
At this point you should be able to navigate to a page to manage your persistent entities.
The Grunt server supports hot reloading of client-side HTML/CSS/Javascript file changes.
