Generate a new AngularJS project with build tools, test runner, and folder structure already wired up using one yo angular command.
Add a new controller with correct boilerplate to an existing AngularJS project without manually creating and registering files.
Scaffold views, services, routes, and directives consistently across a team so all generated files follow the same structure.
Use the TypeScript or CoffeeScript flags to generate project files in your preferred language variant.
AngularJS reached end-of-life in December 2021, this generator is a historical reference and not recommended as a starting point for new projects.
This repository is a code generator for AngularJS projects, built on top of a scaffolding tool called Yeoman. Its purpose is to create the starting structure of an AngularJS web application automatically, so you do not have to set up folders, configuration files, and build scripts by hand. AngularJS is a JavaScript framework for building single-page web apps, meaning apps where the page does not reload as you navigate. Setting up an AngularJS project from a blank slate requires wiring together several tools: a build system to compile and bundle your code, a test runner, a package manager for front-end libraries, and the correct folder layout. This generator handles all of that for you by running one command. Beyond the initial project setup, the generator also has sub-commands for adding individual pieces to an existing project. Typing a command like yo angular:controller user creates a new controller file in the right location with the correct boilerplate already in place. Similar commands exist for views, services, routes, filters, and directives, which are the core building blocks of an AngularJS application. Each generated file follows the same patterns, making the codebase consistent. The generator outputs plain JavaScript by default, but flags are available to produce CoffeeScript or TypeScript instead, depending on your preference. It also sets up a build process that handles a technical requirement of AngularJS called annotation, which prevents the app from breaking when the code is compressed for production. This project is part of the Yeoman organization and was one of the most widely used AngularJS starters during the early-to-mid 2010s. The README links to a tutorial for building a to-do app using this generator. Note that AngularJS itself reached end-of-life in December 2021, so this generator is now primarily a historical reference rather than an active starting point for new projects.
