I am reading how to write a clean code as I am learning the basics of this framework.
If I understand correctly, it is preferred to have one Controller per file, and one module per file but that will end up making my index.html head tag so long if I have to link to all those controllers.js files in the head.
Please look at the image below.
Am I missing something? Thanks
Why don't you use any build tools (e.g gulp, grunt, webpack, etc.)? They can actually combine all your js into one bundle and include it in index.html automagically.

I am using webpack in my Project, here is the tools:
HTML as - jade-html-loader
CSS as - sass-loader
Project written with AngularJS - all with components & templateUrl (ngTemplate-loader in webpack)
So I got 1 JS file in the end of the process.
All this stuff pretty cool, but I think that it will be good to create static HTML files for clients...
It's going to Improve performance(caching / no need to draw DOM elements throw JS) and it's better for browser - to download few small files, not one big JS...
I am wrong? I can't find good tools that generates static assets(html, css)/cache files.
In the end of the line - I need to find an easy way to require Jade files as templates(templateUrl) into Angular Component, but files needs to be static - so I can see them in "Sources" of the browser...
It is hard to explain - so I hope you can understand me =(.
I been there and what i learned is angular cache template are faster then static. You can also copy static html files to dist map using npm cpy tool but i will highly recommend you to use angular cache template. There is this tool you can use for converting you jade to html.
You don't need to build only one single file you could build one for the vendors and one for your app this will keep your app more clean and you can also make one for the only templates which load in angular from cache on demand. I hope i could explain. webpack come with lot's awesome plugins witch can make life easier! good luck
After week I agree that cache templates works fantastic! =).
I used plugin "webpack.optimize.CommonsChunkPlugin" to generate 2 files for my app:
Vendor - all node_modules/bower_components/libs (js+css).
App - all source of app - controllers/models/business logic/views (js,css(sass),html(jade+ngTemplate for angular)).
My entry looks like:
entry: {
app: './src/app.js',
vendor: [
"angular",
"angular-route",
... and other libs...
],
},
And there I found really cool thing: html-webpack-plugin - this plugin creates index.html file and automatically attaches all your generated JS files.
Add Used "hash" string to my files.
My dist looks like this:
/dist
/index.html
/app.xxxxxxxxx.js
/vendor.xxxxxxxxxx.js
Little magic with webpack.optimize.UglifyJsPlugin to minify all files.
And now I got lightweight, small app that waiting for deploy! =)
I now, use angularJS, requireJS, bootstrap to structure my project.Just like the title.Because of all router configured in app.js can make this file be so large and difficult to maintain in the future.So is existing some solution to solve it?Thanks.
Yes, definitely. We actually have a routing config file in each section of our site. It keeps it a lot more organized.
In the JS file you want to configure it you will just need to get a reference to your angular module and chain your config file off it. This is done by simply writing our your module as you would without the dependency brackets like this:
angular.module('myApp').config('configForThisRoute',function($stateProvider){
//define your states as usual
}
You can add your angularjs configuration in any .js file or you can give any name of file, but this file must be included first in html.
I'm using generator-ionic from link, and It made well, but I want to know how to add angular controllers or directives files.
It's not like app when I made with 'yo angular'
there is no views folder and files neither.
'yo angular:directive myDirective' not work.
do I have to make all files and folders by myself?
I found that the Angular Generator works fine with a project created by yo ionic. You are correct that the folder structure is different, but that may not a problem for you. You could always start with a completely blank ionic template, and then start adding the pieces you need. Your app.js and index.html files will be where the Angular Generator expects them to be.
I'm looking at this sample Angular App.
In the main html file called [index.html][2], there is this line:
<div ng-include="'header.tpl.html'"></div>
However, there is not file header.tpl.html in the same directory.
How then does Angular know where to find this file?
The linked sample app is built using Grunt, so the file/folder structure of the built application differs from the one you see in the repository.
For example, the templates you are asking about, are collected by html2js (Grunt task) and compiled into a single JavaScript file containing code that adds all templates to $templateCache (causing them all to be included on app initialization instead of being lazily loaded when required). When the ng-include starts looking for files, its first step is looking into the $templateCache. Only when it cannot find the template there, it tries to load it from the server (and save it to $templateCache for subsequent uses).
See Gruntfile.js in the repository for build process details.
I have set up my application based on this example

The thing that I now have more than 50 html files. It takes more than 5 seconds to load all files on first load. I know using node.js and require.js I can compress or minify the .js file and .css files but was wonder if there are any way we can compress all html templates into one file to speed up.
I'm about to face this very problem in my project and here's what I plan to do:
Write template loader function so that details of how templates are retrieved are encapsulated within. After that I only have to change one place in code when template handling logic changes.
At build time, compile my Handlebars.js templates into JS code. The process is described here.
Use R.js from require.js package to build single JS file from all compiled templates.
If you are using templates like described in that article (with require !text, _.template etc), then they will be compressed into JavaScript file as well. Give it a shot.
It doesn't make sense that 50 html files are loaded simultaneously into the browser, by right the require.js and node.js should be loaded once into the browser. Then ur index.html will select the html file amongst the 50 to append further as its content.
