I have some experience using AngularJS 1.x in .Net MVC application. In that project, we basically downloaded all required Angularjs min files and included them in project. We did not use npm or bower. It worked fine.
Now my next project is on Java Web application. This is an existing application with plain servlet/jsp. I want to use Angularjs 2 on new pages that I'm developing. But I'm not able to make progress on how to include Angularjs in this existing project.
Angular team recommends to use Typescript along with npm/gulp. But I want to stick to javascript and not introduce complications with TypeScript in existing project. I was expecting to download angular min files and include in my JSP and get going. Apparently I cannot even find link do download min files. New Angular website doesn't even have link to download them. I also looked up angular github but couldn't find min files.
I would appreciate if someone can guide me in right direction. At this point, I'm thinking to stick to 1.x instead of 2.0. Thank you.
Wow, that is so annoying.
You could try creating a test project using NPM, add the dependencies you need, and then build the project. From there, you could copy paste out the javascript files you need.
Hope that helps.
You can find angular2 versions prior to release here : https://code.angularjs.org but if you want the latest ones you will have to try Samuel's answer.
Besides, if you're doing this project at school and it asks you to use servlet / jsp, you should stick with it and use something like bootstrap for easier html/css.
Doing the frontend with angular might be considered a cheat or a workaround ( speaking from experience )

i have a angular 2 application. I was wondering if i could convert this application to an integrate-able sdk which other applications can use by adding script tags in their headers. If this is not possible can anyone provide any tutorial link which shows how can i build a simple sdk which can be integrated in other applications. thank you.
Of course you can! In javascript terms, it's not called "SDK" but "module".
The most popular module manager is called NPM.
So you can follow this tutorial to package your "application" as NPM module, then it will be easy for other js developper to integrate it inside their own projects (using the tags, services, directives you defined.
Here is a good post about it
Cheers!
EDIT : if you want to use your angular components/modules outside in non-angular application, you can follow this one. In the example it is used with React app but it will work with any html5-compliant browsers.
If you want to target also non-compatible browsers, you should add a polyfill
I would like to create a Single Page Web App with Angular but I couldn't decide to project type.
(Just generated files by tools like angular-cli or that generated files inside an Asp.Net Core Project)
I got some question.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of building angular app on ASP.NET Core Project?
Which cases I should prefer to locate angular app inside a ASP.NET Core Project?
I'd like to take a stab at this. I'll agree that the answer is on some part opinion based though.
I have just been comparing the two versions for a new project that I am involved in.
First some facts
The Angular project created inside of the ASP.Net core application is in no way dependant on the .Net code. You can navigate to the directory and type ng serve and run it by itself.
You can copy the angular code to another directory or repo and host it by itself if you for some reason later on decide that you don't want to combine it. All you have to do is copy paste the angular code, and then remove some lines in startup.cs regarding the internal hosting.
The code that gets added inside of the asp net core template is close to the base angular app with a few examples added on.
If you use the login functionality template it implements an oidc client, and an identity server on the back end, (opinion) pretty much the same way I would have done it myself. There is nothing stopping you from rewriting it if you don't like it. At worst it's a good example of how it can be done.
As of today the template is using Angular 8.0.0, you can just change the package.json to get the latest version and run npm install. It works great.
You can still use Visual Studio Code for the Angular parts with a combined project.
Here are when Id choose the different versions (warning opinions ahead).
When to choose the asp.net core angular project.
Small web app with limited functionality.
Small team, probably same person writing angular code as api code.
If you are unsure. You can always split later.
When to choose separate apps.
Big team with deployment builds and automation.
If you want to host angular and asp.net core separately (for reasons such as to achieve maximum performance and load balancing in apps with thousands of visitors).
Separate people coding angular and asp.net
You don't like having it all in same repo and want to split it up.
In a bigger teams and contexts with multiple APIs you will probably have to deal with CORS anyways, but if not you will have to at least think about it for this to work.
If you are unsure, you can always combine it to one app later.
Does anyone know of a recent blog post or tutorial on which angular 2 .js files along with the appropriate d.ts files I need so I can just drop them into an existing VS solution without using NPM? I see that I can get the angular files here, but not sure which ones I need. According to the Angular docs, I need do nothing to get typings files for library packages that include d.ts files—as all Angular packages do., but again, when I look thru a sample Angular app, don't know which d.ts files I need.
I can't stand bloat and clutter. Below is a brand new asp.net core on .net 4.6 on the left, the same thing on the right after following this blog:
I can't stomache having to add over 13,000 files to get ahold of maybe 20?, 30? files.
Maybe I'm being too OCD about this, but right now I'll take any suggestions to avoid that bloat, even going with another front-end framework. I've briefly looked at Aurelia, which I like, but again, NPM. Not sure React is appropriate.
My business domain includes Category, which is a self-referencing class/table, and I'm after an intuitive UI where the user can quickly create their own Category structure without having to do a bunch of post-backs to the server. Seems with either Angular2 or Aurelia, I'd only need a couple of Components to accomplish this in the browser.
I know Angular 1.5 added Components, and I may explore that if need be. From what I understand about React, it's not for data management.
So to reiterate my questions, can I get just the Angular2 files along with their d.ts files so I can code in typescript? If not, the same question for Aurelia. And if not, any way that I can keep bloat down yet still write some elegant front-end code.
Any help will be appreciated
Ok so for Development purposes yes your Angular 2 stuff will be massive (its annoying but necissary) however as I am sure you know, once you build your angular app for production (using angular cli for example) it cuts all those 40,000 files down to about 10. for example this is my application before and after production...
and after
So I would guess you want to build your angular stuff out first and then drop it in you application
I am using Webstorm IDE for an AngularJS project.
I have added AngularJS to the librairies and autocompletion etc. works just fine.
However, Webstorm IDE does not find the function angular.module() which is quite central. I have tried everything (reinstalling, etc.) but it still does not seem to work.
Any ideas what it could be?
To date there has been no progress on the WebStorm IDS ticket referenced above by #AllYouCanEat86 so I am not sure if it should be fixed without adding libraries to WebStorm. Once I followed the advice given in this answer my issue was resolved and no longer got the warning in WebStorm.
In short go to File > Settings > Languages & Frameworks > JavaScript > Libraries and download angular (used to be called angularjs) from the community stubs. It appears in the list as angularjs-DefinitelyTyped once it has been downloaded.
I don't have the reputation to reply to a comment yet, but #Precastic's solution worked for me using Webstorm 9. Note that the library name is "angular", not "angularjs", however.
To be clear, that solution was:
In short go to File > Settings > Languages & Frameworks > JavaScript > Libraries and download angular from the community stubs. It appears in the list as angular-DefinitelyTyped once it has been downloaded.
I had the same problem, and the only solution was to include AngularJS using a CDN as instructed on the Jetbrains blog.
You include the script tag like this:
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.5.6/angular.min.js"></script>
And follow the instructions below:
If you prefer to use a CDN, place the cursor over the highlight library name, hit Alt+Enter, and Download Library. This will set up a local library in WebStorm’s cache (not in your project) so WebStorm can access AngularJS methods, directives, etc for autocompletion and documentation lookup.
I am trying to write my own Javascript Framework something like jQuery.
I use Aptana Studio for designing websites. I was planning to create a web page and write the Javascript code just as we would do for a website. Then I noticed that Aptana Studio also has a Javascript Project. So I created a new Javascript Project. But it primarily allows you to create only .js files and no HTML files. I wonder what a standalone .js file would do? Would't I need an HTML file to execute and test my Javascript code?
Certainly there must be some advantage to using the Javascript Project. But I am not able to figure it out. Can someone please explain how to use the Javascript Project?
I don't know anything about Aptana Studio, but I'm guessing that you're intended to drive your JavaScript project from another project. Think of the JavaScript project like a self-contained library. It doesn't make sense to include the test code in the library itself, because consumers of the library probably don't want to deal with it. Try creating a second project that imports your JavaScript project and allows you to play with it and test it.
I would recommend that you try Javascript-Test Driver. It has an IDE support and also it seems to be fairly good at helping you debug code. Find more details here:
http://code.google.com/p/js-test-driver/
I would say that while you DO need HTML files; you'd probably wanna do more according to the testing framework you choose; as some work with fixtures other loads up iframe and stuff. But I would presume that writing a whole framework would take more than just HTML pages and a unit testing framework would be more apt for the req.
Screw Unit for JS
http://github.com/nkallen/screw-unit
I know I have deviated from your question; but I just felt that rather than right project structure and HTML for testing what would be more important is a testing framework that keeps development agile and fast.
But that's just me.
