I recently came across AngularJS. I am a java web developer. I want to use AngularJS along with Spring-MVC framework. But I need some basic foundation (tutorial) to start with.
I know about the basic stuff of AngularJS, but how to integrate it with Spring-MVC. As most of the time spring it self return partial jsp(s), and we add them using jsp-include, while AngularJS expects JSON data most of the time.
4) NO it can't be said good practice to include angular build files in Spring MVC project. because every time you make changes to angular, you have to rebuild your Spring war file and deploy it again to webserver.
The controller receives input, validates it, and then performs business operations that modify the state of the data model. AngularJS is a MVC based framework. In the coming chapters, we will see how AngularJS uses MVC methodology.
We will create a Spring boot AngularJS application which will have AngularJS as user interface. It will provide user interface from which you can add, update or delete customer database. We will use controller, services and DAO classes to achieve these functionalities.
Two cases:
Your architecture is full client-side: In this case the integration is very natural. Spring MVC exposes your service as a REST (JSON/XML) and your client application with AngularJS consumes your JSON. Here the .war application (Spring MVC) must be deployed in a servlet container (e.g. Tomcat) and your client application can be deployed in the same server or in a HTTP server like Nginx or Apache.
You want to keep page generation in the server-side and only use AngularJS for some DOM manipulation so your code must be deployed in the same .war (inside the WEB-INF/ folder).
Mixing the two approaches in not always a good idea. You can try Thymeleaf to stay in server-side page generation and at the same time have templating, testability and clean View code.
