geomap-angular - Integrating Google's geomap visualization into an angularjs project.

This project is based on the angular-seed project. So far it doesn't do much as mostly it is for exploring.

How to use geomap-angular

Clone the geomap-angular repository and start hacking...

Running the app during development

The project is configured to run on Cloud9, so the best bet is just to clone to c9.io and run scripts/web-server.js

Then navigate to http://geomap.<username>.c9.io/app/index.html to see the app running in your browser.

Running the app in production

This really depends on how complex is your app and the overall infrastructure of your system, but the general rule is that all you need in production are all the files under the app/ directory. Everything else should be omitted.

Angular apps are really just a bunch of static html, css and js files that just need to be hosted somewhere, where they can be accessed by browsers.

If your Angular app is talking to the backend server via xhr or other means, you need to figure out what is the best way to host the static files to comply with the same origin policy if applicable. Usually this is done by hosting the files by the backend server or through reverse-proxying the backend server(s) and a webserver(s).

Running unit tests

We recommend using jasmine and Karma for your unit tests/specs, but you are free to use whatever works for you.

Requires node.js, Karma (sudo npm install -g karma) and a local or remote browser.

start scripts/test.sh (on windows: scripts\test.bat)
- a browser will start and connect to the Karma server (Chrome is default browser, others can be captured by loading the same url as the one in Chrome or by changing the config/karma.conf.js file)
to run or re-run tests just change any of your source or test javascript files

End to end testing

Angular ships with a baked-in end-to-end test runner that understands angular, your app and allows you to write your tests with jasmine-like BDD syntax.

Requires a webserver, node.js + ./scripts/web-server.js or your backend server that hosts the angular static files.

Check out the end-to-end runner's documentation for more info.

create your end-to-end tests in test/e2e/scenarios.js
serve your project directory with your http/backend server or node.js + scripts/web-server.js
to run do one of:
- open http://localhost:port/test/e2e/runner.html in your browser
- run the tests from console with Karma via scripts/e2e-test.sh or script/e2e-test.bat

Receiving updates from upstream

When we upgrade angular-seed's repo with newer angular or testing library code, you can just fetch the changes and merge them into your project with git.
