A nicer angularjs interop for clojurescript
Stable Version:
[im.chit/gyr "0.3.1"] Documentation:
As much as I became amazed at the possibilities of angularjs, I was also experiencing alot of pain when developing with javascript. Javascript is not the best language to work with and unless one is serious javascript expert (which I am far from), it was very easy to complect modules within large angular.js applications. Using coffeescript did not solve the problem and in fact, made things worse with its white-space indentation style.
I also found that properly architected angular.js applications had WAY too many files for my liking - as seen in the Year of Moo projects. I wanted to use clojure syntax so that my code was smaller, more readable and easier to handle. Essentially, I believe that great angular apps should be able to be written in one file.
Gyr currently offers:
- gyr.core - a simple dsl for eliminating boilerplate angular.js
- gyr.test - testing macros for eliminating more boilerplate test code for services, controllers, directives and filters
gyr.filters- undocumented library of clojure-style filters for angular.js
