AngularJS in Laravel using Elixir - angularjs

Question

I am trying to setup a Laravel and Angular application. I wanted to place my work files under resources/assets/js and then use webpack and elixir to compile those code and create a single app.js file in my public directory. But I am not sure how to do that? Can anyone guide me with a step based approach for it?

Answer 1

Here is a gulp only process
No webpack used. Please anyone can rewrite this with Laravel Mix I would really appreciate.
1- Install npm modules
`npm i --S bower gulp gulp-concat gulp-uglify`
2- Install Angular with bower
bower install --save angular angular-sanitize angular-ui-router
3- Now that you have your angular assets in bower_components, create a file at the root of your project to load all vendors. Let's create /vendor.json
[
"bower_components/angular/angular.min.js",
"bower_components/angular-sanitize/angular-sanitize.min.js",
"bower_components/angular-route/angular-route.min.js"
]
Add all your vendors to that file. Bower or Npm vendors. Anything you download that is not part of your code.
4- Go to /gulpfile.js and add a task
var gulp = require('gulp),
concat = require('gulp-concat'),
uglify = require('gulp-uglify');
gulp.task('vendorjs', function() {
var source = require('./vendorjs.json');
return gulp.src(source)
.pipe(concat('vendors.min.js'))
.pipe(uglify())
.pipe(gulp.dest('public/assets/js'))
});
That task will compile all vendors assets to /public/assets/js/vendors.min.js
5- In resources/assets/js, create following directories controllers, modules and the file app.js. Inside of app.js do
// 'resources/assets/js/app.js'
(function(){
angular
.module('myApp', ['app.core', 'app.controllers']);
})();
6- In the modules directory create core/module.js. This is the core module where you load all external modules loaded via bower or npm.
// 'resources/assets/js/modules/core/module.js'
(function(){
angular
.module('app.core', ['ngRoute', 'ngSanitize']);
})();
7- Still in the modules directory create controllers/module.js. All your controllers will be bound to this module.
// 'resources/assets/js/modules/controllers/module.js'
(function(){
angular
.module('app.controllers', []);
})();
8- Now you can write your controllers like this
// 'resources/assets/js/controllers/home.js'
(function(){
angular
.module('app.controllers')
.controller('HomeController', Controller);
//Use injection for assets minification
HomeController.$inject = ['$scope', '$http'];
function HomeController($scope, $http)
{
var vm = this;
activate();
function activate()
{
vm.sayHi = function() {
console.log('Hi');
}
}
}
})();
9- If you want to define routes
// 'resources/assets/js/modules/routes/routes.js'
(function(){
angular
.module('app.routes', [])
.config(routesConfig);
//Use injection for assets minification
routesConfig.$inject = ['$stateProvider', '$locationProvider', '$urlRouterProvider'];
function routesConfig($stateProvider, $locationProvider, $urlRouterProvider)
{
$urlRouterProvider.otherwise('/');
$stateProvider
.state('home', {
url: '/',
templateUrl: '/templates/home.html',
controller: 'HomeController'
})
...
}
})();
10 - Create angular task in gulpfile
gulp.task('angular', function() {
var root = 'resources/assets/js';
var source = [
root + '/app.js',
root + '/modules/**/*module.js',
root + '/controllers/**/*js'
];
return gulp.src(source)
.pipe(concat('app.min.js'))
.pipe(uglify()) //comment this line when in development
.pipe(gulp.dest('public/assets/js'))
});
I think that's it. I may have made one or 2 typos, but angular that's the gist of it. How I use gulp with laravel for angular

Answer 2

I couldn't do this from scratch but there is a package that uses lumen, angular2. Providing a link for the same so anyone with the same problem can be benefited. Link: anvel.io
