Overview of this book

<p>AngularJS makes web JavaScript web development less painful and more organized – it’s unsurprising that today it’s one of the most popular tools in web development.</p> <p>AngularJS by Example helps you get started with this essential web development framework quickly and easily, guiding you through AngularJS by showing you how to create your own real-world applications. By adopting this approach, you can bridge the gap between learning and doing immediately, as you follow the examples to learn the impressive features of Angular and experience a radically simple–and powerful–approach to web development.</p> <p>You’ll begin by creating a simple Guess the Number game, which will help you get to grips with the core components of Angular, including its MVC architecture, and learn how each part interacts with one another. This will give you a solid foundation of knowledge from which you can begin to build more complex applications, such as a 7 minute workout app and an extended personal trainer app. By creating these applications yourself, you will find out how AngularJS manages client-server interactions and how to effectively utilize directives to develop applications further. You’ll also find information on testing your app with tools such as Jasmine, as well as tips and tricks for some of the most common challenges of developing with AngularJS.</p> <p>AngularJS by Example is a unique web development book that will help you get to grips with AngularJS and explore a powerful solution for developing single page applications.</p>

Summary


We started this chapter with the aim of creating an AngularJS app that is more complex than the sample we created in the first chapter. The 7 Minute Workout app fitted the bill and we learned a lot about the AngularJS framework while building this app.

We started with defining the functionality of the 7 Minute Workout app. We then focused our efforts on defining the code structure for the app. In the process, we learned about the building blocks of AngularJS namely controllers, directives, filters, and services and how these components need to be organized in our codebase.

To build the app, we started by defining the model of the app. Once the model was in place, we started the controller implementation. While implementing the controller we learned about DI, services, the AngularJS watch infrastructure, and the AngularJS Promise API.

Once we had a fully functional controller, we created a supporting view for the app. We used some new directives: ng-src and ng-style. The ng-src directive...
