Simple and yet reasonable Angular.js application featuring case study of ajax form validation.
Additionally my intention is to use this little project as a laboratory of best practices including testing, development environment, IDE tricks.
###Karma
Karma is test runner used by Angular team. Nice thing is that Jetbrain IDEs has a pluging for Karma.
Personally, I stumbled upon several issues this Karma and IDE plugin:
-
Karma server launched in terminal is in conflict with IDE saving files mechanism. Sometimes Karma is unable to react to update in file.
-
IDE plugin currently has bad support for file watch functionality. It does not react to file change, instead it reruns tests on stop typing event after 10s delay.
###Testem
You can use Testum test runner instead of Karma or alongside. Specify config file testem.json and you are done. Just run testem command in console and this will launch testing server that reruns tests on file change.
Protractor is a recommended tool.
Starting from version 5 Zurb Foundation framework is distributed as Bower component. In Compass config file insert this and you are done:
add_import_path "./static/bower_components/foundation/scss"
