AngularJS integration for Alchemy CMS

Provides Rails generators and Angular controllers, services and directives for seamless integration of Alchemy CMS within your AngularJS powered one page frontend app.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'alchemy_cms', '3.1.0.beta1'
gem 'alchemy-angular', github: 'magiclabs/alchemy-angular'

And then execute:

$ bundle install

Usage

Require The Javascript Libraries

This gem provides routes, controllers and directives that work perfectly with the Alchemy JSON API. To get them into your app, you need to require them in your application.js file.

You can either require the whole package at once:

//= require alchemy-angular

Or, if you only need specific parts you can require them seperatly:

//= require alchemy-angular/controllers
//= require alchemy-angular/directives
//= require alchemy-angular/routes
//= require alchemy-angular/services

Generate Angular Templates

This gem also provides Rails generators that generate Angular templates for your Alchemy elements, cells and pages:

$ bin/rails g alchemy_angular:templates --skip

The templates already has some common html markup and use the directive's $scope methods to bind the values.

Use the element and cell directives

This gem has two directives alchemyCell and alchemyElement.

In order to render an Alchemy element use this markup:

<alchemy-element></alchemy-element>

The directive loads a template named after the element and placed inside your Angular templates folder, prefixed with alchemy/elements. Former Alchemy users should feel very familar ;).

The $scope inside the template has some handy methods for you:

• ingredients - The collection of all ingredients of current element.
• ingredient(name) - Returns the value of given ingredient name.
• ingredients_by_name(name) - Returns all ingredients that have given name.
• ingredient_present(name) - Returns true if ingredient with given name is not null and empty, otherwise false. Very handy together with the ng-if directive.

In order to render an Alchemy cell use this markup:

<alchemy-cell></alchemy-cell>

The $scope inside the template has this attribute:

• elements - The collection of all elements of current cell.
