This article is part of a series of posts on RequireJs, AnguarJs, Grunt and Bower. Here are the parts so far:
- AngularJs, RequireJs, Grunt and Bower Part1 - Getting Started and concept with ASP.NET MVC
- AngularJs, RequireJs, Grunt and Bower Part2 - Grunt
- AngularJs, RequireJs, Grunt and Bower Part3 - generator-angular-requirejs-grunt-bower with ASP.NET MVC
- AngularJs, RequireJs, Grunt and Bower Part4 - How to extend your own code with ASP.NET MVC
- AngularJs, RequireJs, Grunt and Bower Part5 - generator-angular-requirejs-grunt-bower with Express.js //to be done
In previou aticles that we talked about how to integrate AngularJs, Requirejs, Grunt and bower with ASP.NET MVC. If you don’t want to create those file structure manual. You can install generator-angular-requirejs-grunt-bower
yeoman generator.
Simple step to install yeoman generator
- install generator:
npm install -g generator-angular-requirejs-grunt-bower
cd
to project root folder- execute command
yo angular-requirejs-grunt-bower
Scenario
As basic concept we mentioned that we want to treat ControllerName/actionName
as single page application and try to reuse shared code as possible base on this file structure. Now, let’s create a new ASP.NET MVC controller
and extend new AngularJs application.
Step 1: create new ASP.NET MVC controller
- please create a new
controller
namedProjectController
via Visual studio. - Add new view named
Index.cshtml
- modify
Views/Project/Index.cshtml
. The only thing you need to do is add Angular route directiveng-view
. We will handle UI in AngularJs partile view.
@{
ViewBag.Title = "Product";
}
<div ng-view></div>
Step 2: create new AngularJs application
create file structure as following.
Public/js/views/Project
, AngularJs application container and named same asController
Public/js/views/Project/index.js
, application entry pointPublic/js/views/Project/patials
, we will put all partials view HTML herePublic/js/views/Project/patials/project-index.html
, default AngulaJs route view.Public/js/controllers/product-controller.js
, Product controller.
project-index.html
: Product partials view
<div>
this is Project Index page.
</div>
product-controller.js
: Product controller
define(['controllers/controllers'], function (controllers) {
controllers.controller('ProjectIndexCtrl', ['$scope',
function ($scope) {
console.log('ProjectIndexCtrl execute.');
}
]);
});
index.js
: Product AngularJs single page application entry point.
'use strict';
require([
'angular',
'app',
'domReady',
'controllers/product-controller',
'bootstrap'
],
function (angular, app, domReady) {
var root = require.toUrl('.').split('.')[0];
app.config([
'$routeProvider', '$httpProvider', '$sceDelegateProvider', '$locationProvider',
function ($routeProvider, $httpProvider, $sceDelegateProvider, $locationProvider) {
// sec
$sceDelegateProvider.resourceUrlWhitelist(['self', '.*']);
// route
$routeProvider.
when('/', {
templateUrl: '/public/js/views/Product/partials/product-index.html',
controller: 'ProjectIndexCtrl',
resolve: {}
}).
otherwise({
redirectTo: '/'
});
}
]).run([
'$rootScope',
function ($rootScope) {
// global variable
$rootScope.$safeApply = function ($scope, fn) {
$scope = $scope || $rootScope;
fn = fn || function () { };
if ($scope.$$phase) {
fn();
} else {
$scope.$apply(fn);
}
};
}
]).constant('$', $);
domReady(function () {
angular.bootstrap(document.body, ['myAngularApp']);
$('html').addClass('ng-app: myAngularApp');
});
}
);
Preview
Step 3: Let’s extend shared service for different single page application
Till now, we have two AngularJs single page application HomeController
and ProductController
and they don’t include any AngularJs service, directive or filter module.
- Add a new ASP.NET MVC BookController
ApiController
- Add a AngularJs server named
/Public/js/services/bookService.js
. Usingng-source
to callAPI
- Inject
book-service.js
toProduct
application - Inject
book-service.js
toHome
application
Add BookController
ApiController
// GET: api/Book
public IEnumerable<string> Get()
{
return new string[] { "ABookApart.CSS3.For.Web.Designers.2010", "AngularJS Directives" };
}
book-service.js
Add a new AngularJs service locate in Public/js/service/book-service.js
.
define(['services/services'], function (services) {
// Book resource
services.factory('BOOK', ['$resource', function ($resource) {
var resetUrl = '/api/Book';
var resource = $resource(resetUrl, {}, { get: { method: 'GET', isArray: true } });
return resource;
}]);
// BookLoader
services.factory('BookLoader', ['$q', 'BOOK', function ($q, BOOK) {
return function () {
var delay = $q.defer();
BOOK.get(function (data) {
delay.resolve(data);
}, function (error) {
delay.reject('Unable to fetch Book list');
});
return delay.promise;
};
}]);
});
Inject book-service.js
BookLoader
to AngularJs route resolve
If you are familier with AngularJs. There is a resolve function you can call in AngularJs route. We define a BookLoader
function that implement with promise pattern. Then, we can inject the result to our controller. Resolve can help us to fetch API before controller called.
How can we inject book service to AngularJs application via RequireJs
require feature. That’s mean we can inject different feature in other application easily.
js/views/Product/index.js
....
'controllers/product-controller',
'services/book-service',
...
controller/Product-controller.js
controllers.controller('ProjectIndexCtrl', ['$scope', 'books', function ($scope, books) {
console.log('ProjectIndexCtrl execute.');
$scope.books = books;
}]);
Inject book-service.js
BOOK
service to AngularJs route resolve
We have defined BOOK
AngularJs service. Different with Product
application. We use BOOK
service instead of BooKloader
promise service.
// js/views/Home/index.js
...
'domReady',
'controllers/home-controller',
'services/book-service',
'bootstrap'
...
// js/controller/home-controller.js
define(['controllers/controllers'], function (controllers) {
controllers.controller('HomeCtrl', ['$scope', 'BOOK', function ($scope, BOOK) {
console.log('HomeCtrl execute.');
$scope.books = BOOK.get({}, function (books) {
return books;
});
}]);
});
We inject BOOK
service in controller
directly and bind Book.get()
to $scope.books
. Whatever we use AngularJs route resolve or inject service directly. They points to same service we defined.
Grunt
As we mentioned before. we still can build for every AngularJs we defined. Befere we build our application, we need to modify Gruntfile.js
manual.
...
modules: [{
name: 'views/Home/index'
}, {
name: 'views/Product/index'
}],
...
grunt

After you clone source code from github repo, you can run following command:
git checkout -f step-0
is status project createdgit checkout -f step-1
is status Nuget install Require.js.git checkout -f step-2
is status project Add AngularJs, RequireJs, Grunt and Bower to Public folder.git checkout -f step-3
is status modify _Layout.chtml to render RequireJs. You will see the final result.
- Please cd to
