Application widgets with angular.js

 

Behind the scenes with angular.injector and angular.element

Single page app?

Content driven

A lot of content, tons of pages, very SEO relevant...

web application

Less content, tons of interactions, less SEO relevant...

Let's mix it Up!

Content driven website

with application widgets

angular
bootstrap

no... not the twitter thingy!

Auto-bootstrap

<html>
<body ng-app="myApp">
  <p>Hello {{name}}!</p>
</body>
</html>

do-it-yourself

<html>
<body data-ng-boot="myApp">
  <p>Hello {{name}}!</p>
</body>
</html>

$(function() {
  $('[data-ng-boot]').each(function() {
    angular.bootstrap(this, [
      $(this).data('ngBoot')
    ]);
  });
});

Multiple Apps on one page

Why one if we can have many???

<html>
<body>
  <section data-ng-boot="widgetOne">
    <p>Hello {{name}}!</p>
  </section>
  <section data-ng-boot="widgetTwo">
    <p>Hello {{name}}!</p>
  </section>
</body>
</html>

http://jsbin.com/kobixa​

angular.module('widgetOne', [])
  .run(function($rootScope) {
    $rootScope.name = 'Angular';
  });

angular.module('widgetTwo', [])
  .run(function($rootScope) {
    $rootScope.name = 'Multi-boot';
  });

$(function() {
  $('[data-ng-boot]').each(function() {
    angular.bootstrap(this, [
      $(this).data('ngBoot')
    ]);
  });
});

Lazy loading of Angular.Js and widgets

<html>
<body>
  <section data-ng-boot="widgetOne:widget-one.js">
    <p>Hello {{name}}!</p>
  </section>
  <section data-ng-boot="widgetTwo:widget-two.js">
    <p>Hello {{name}}!</p>
  </section>
</body>
</html>

$(function() {
  $('[data-ng-boot]').each(function() {
    var $element = $(this);
    var split = $element.data('ngBoot').split(':');
    
    $LAB.script(function loadAngular() {
      if(!window.angular) {
        return '//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.3.2/angular.min.js';
      }
    }).wait(function() {
      $LAB.script(function loadModules() {
        if(split.length > 1) {
          return split.splice(1);
        }
      }).wait(function() {
        angular.bootstrap($element, [
          split[0]
        ]);
      });
    });

Access
Angular
from
the outside

element & injector

<html>
<body ng-app="myApp">
  Message: {{message}}
</body>
</html>

http://jsbin.com/macapa

angular.module('myApp', [])
  .value('name', 'World');

var element = angular.element($('[ng-app="myApp"]'));

setTimeout(function() {
  element.scope().message = 'Test';
  element.scope().$digest();
}, 2000);

setTimeout(function() {
  var name = element.injector().get('name');
  var reversed = name.split('').reverse().join('');
  element.scope().message = 'Welcome ' + reversed + '!';
  element.scope().$digest();
}, 4000);

LET THEM
COMMUNICATE!

Runtime Architecture

with multiple apps

Direct communication

by addressing elements

http://jsbin.com/cohela

function AlienMessageController($scope) {
  $scope.sendMessage = function(alienRootElementId) {
    var alienRootScope = 
        angular.element('#' + alienRootElementId).scope();
    
    alienRootScope.remoteMessages = alienRootScope.remoteMessages || [];
    alienRootScope.remoteMessages.push($scope.message);
    alienRootScope.$evalAsync();
  };
}

angular.module('widgetOne', [])
  .controller('AlienMessageController', AlienMessageController);

angular.module('widgetTwo', [])
  .controller('AlienMessageController', AlienMessageController);

$(function() {
  $('[data-ng-boot]').each(function() {
    angular.bootstrap(this, [
      $(this).data('ngBoot')
    ]);
  });
});

PUB / SUB with message hub

function MessageHub() {
  this.subscriptions = {};
  
  this.subscribe = function(type, scope) {
    if(type instanceof Array) {
      type.forEach(function(typeElement){
        this.subscribe.call(this, typeElement, scope);
      }.bind(this));
    }
    
    this.subscriptions[type] = this.subscriptions[type] || [];
    if(this.subscriptions[type].indexOf(scope) === -1) {
