I’ve been playing around with Angular Material a lot lately, and I’ve been really impressed with how easy it is to create pretty web apps, (once you get the hang of it).
There are so many cool things that I’d like to share, but I don’t know where to begin! So in this video, I’ll take you through my latest side project, and show you the types of things that are possible.
In this video we’ll update the customers model, and look at how the model links through the various files and down to the angular customer controller. Then we’ll start making some updates to our angular controller.
We look at:
– Quick updates to the Customers Model
– The glue between the Customers Server Model and the Customers Server Controller
– The glue between the Customers Server Controller and the Server Routes
– The glue between the Server Routes and the Angular Factory Service
– The glue between the Angular Customers Factory Service and the Angular Customers Controller
– Lastly, we update the create function within the Angular Customers Controller to include the data that we want to pass to our Customers Server Model
In this video we’ll continue setting up our Update Customer Modal instance using Angular UI. We’ll focus on formatting and styling the Modal window to include the fields and styles that we need based on our wireframes.
We look at:
– A recap of our Angular UI Customer Update Modal
– Connecting to the customers scope to pass a selected customer’s details through to our Modal
– Updating the html template so that we have the formatting and styles as per our wireframes
– Testing to see if our Modal works with our ng-click directive
– Updating our html styles based on styles which are already part of the modal classes
– Passing through the details of a selected customer to the Update Modal
In this video we’ll use the yeoman generator to create new Angular.js Controller and test files.
We look through the AngularJS Material Design starter app, with tips and tricks for Toolbars: including, layout=”row”, layout=”column”, md-tall, tabs and themes.
In this tutorial video we’ll get fancy with Autocomplete! We’ll look at some sweet little tricks that you can use when you’re working with small datasets. Both Local and Remote/Server side sets of data can be handled in a similar once the data is available to AngularJS.
In this video we’ll continue setting up our Update Customer Modal instance using Angular UI. We’ll focus on the buttons within the Modal to trigger the update function, save the data and close the Modal window, or cancel out of the Modal window.
We look at:
– A recap of our Angular UI Customer Update Modal
– Locating the ‘ok’ and ‘cancel’ functions from the Angular UI documentation
– Adding the ‘ok’ and ‘cancel’ functions to the Update Modal instance
– Aligning our button details to our wireframes
– Adding the update function to the Customers Update Controller
– Adding a reference to the update function from the Update Modal
– Testing out our Model by updating customer details
In this video I’ll introduce you to two of my favourite tools, Mongo Explorer and AngularJS Batarang.
We look at:
– Mongo Explorer – a Webstorm Plugin which lets us connect to our MongoDB and explore our Collections and the records contained within them
– AngularJS Batarang – a Chrome Plugin which helps us take a sneak peak behind our view
An introduction to functional design. We’ll identify a subset of requirements and create an interaction flow. We’ll then look at each step in the interaction flow with: use cases, storyboards, wireframes and business rules.
In this video we’ll start to set-up our AngularJS Create Customer Modal. We’ll begin by turning our create customer view into a Modal window, and get it to popup using the ‘New Customer’ button.
We look at:
– The current create customer view
– Changing the top and bottom of the create customer view to align it with the update customer modal
– Changing our references to refer to the customer create controller
– Changing the controller alias references on the new Create Modal buttons
– Setting up the Create Customer Controller by reusing the existing create function and changing it up
– Using the code for the update customer modal directive as a template to create a new create customer modal directive.
– Adding a reference to our new Modal from the Customer List ‘Create Customer’ button
– Opening up our new Create Customer Modal
NodeBots Day is just a couple of weeks away, so I want to share what I’ve been doing with Node and Arduino in recent times. This post is aimed at very basic, hello world type examples of using NodeJS as a server to run JavaScript code on Arduino UNO hardware.
We look at:
– The MEAN Stack Sign-in page
– Creating CSS styles
– Passport.js error messages
– Introduction to Bootstrap Alerts
– Exploring the Angular.js code on the Sign-in page
– Homework – Can you format the Sign-up page? Let me know how you go!
