AngularJs Tutorials : Bootstrap


Every application starts with bootstrap process which initialize application and wire it other with dependencies and configurations.

AngularJs is not different from other application. It also starts application with bootstrap process.

Following operation happens inside AngularJs bootstrap process.

  1. Load application module.
  2. Create dependency injector and load dependencies.
  3. Compile HTML and create scope for application.

All these steps happens inside angular.js scripting file. therefore we need to include it first.
we can include it inside HEAD tag or at end of BODY tag.

Note:
Adding angular.js file at end of body tag will allow browser to load of HTML elements without any delay and afterwards load angular.js and begin bootstrapping process.

You can get angular.js source file from https://code.angularjs.org/


<script src=”https://code.angularjs.org/1.3.0/angular.js” type=”text/javascript”>

AngularJs bootstrap process happens on document ready event.


lets see the simple AngularJs example.


<html>
 <head>
    <title>Angular Application</title>
 </head>
 <body ng-app="myApp">
    <div ng-controller="myCtrl">
        <h3>{{title}}</h3>
    </div>

    <script src="https://code.angularjs.org/1.3.0/angular.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

    <script type="text/javascript">

        //angular module
        angular.module("myApp",[])
      

        //controller
        .controller("myCtrl", ["$scope", function($scope){
            $scope.title = "Angular Bootstrap Tutorial!"
        }])

    </script>

 </body>
</html>


Now lets look into AngularJs bootstrap process steps one by one.

  1. Load application module:

    AngularJs will look for module name which is associated with ng-app directive inside HTML page.


    <html ng-app="myApp" >
    …
    …
    


    Then Angular will load this module from JavaScript snippet.


    angular.module("myApp", []) 
    

  1. Create dependency injector and load dependencies

    After first step AngularJs will create injector and compiler objects. functionality of compiler object is listed in third step.
    Here injector object will look for dependency of application module. In above example we have not specify any dependency.
    Following example illustrate module dependency


    angular.module("myApp",[ "ngResource"])
    


    These dependencies are nothing but angular modules. injector load this modules and allow them to be used inside angular application.

    Services can also be injected on fly inside application controller or application services.


    .controller("myCtrl", ["$scope", function($scope){
      $scope.title = "Angular Bootstrap Tutorial!"
    }])
    

    in above example $scope is injected by injector inside controller and we can use it inside controller.
  2. Compile HTML and create scope for application.

    Inside last step AngularJs compiles HTML elements using compiler object then creates scope for application and bind rootScope to html element where we have specified ng-app.
    In above example ng-app is specified inside body tag which means rootScope is attached to body tag and all template logic get applied on this body tag.


Above scenario illustrates automatic bootstrapping process. but some time you may require to manually bootstrap AngularJs application where you need to perform some custom JavaScript task before initiating AngularJs application.

Following script snippet shows manual bootstrapping process.


// document ready event
angular.element(document).ready( function() {

    // bootstrap document with myApp module
    angular.bootstrap(document, ["myApp"])

})


As stated earlier bootstrap happens on document ready event therefore you need to configure it first.
Then call angular.bootstrap function which will accept two parameters.

First parameter is html element e.g. document, html, body or particular div. this process is equivalent as specifying ng-app directive to HTML element.

Second parameter is AngularJs module name. in this case we have give myApp.

Note that you first need to add module scripting code then initiate bootstrap process otherwise bootstrap will throw error that unable to load given module.

With automatic or manual bootstrap, you are ready to create beautiful AngularJs application.

How to enable SQL logs in Spring Boot application?

This tutorial will demonstrate how to enable and disable SQL log statements in a Spring Boot application in order to debug SQL flow. Problem You will frequently need to debug the SQL statement while developing a Spring Boot application with a SQL database.

Solution Update the application.yml file with the Hibernet configuration as logging: level: org: hibernate: DEBUG or application.properties as logging.level.org.hibernate=DEBUG The SQL statement will appear in the application logs after modifying the configuration file and restarting the application. 2022-04-07 08:41...

Preload Images Using Javascript

Preload Image is technique which helps browser to render images with minimum delay. Today we will see example of image gallery. Gallery contain 5 images which load images one after another whenever user clicks next and back button. This is a basic image gallery scenario which is used in all possible website, then why we need preloaded images for this gallery? Now a day’s most of website becoming faster and user expectation is increasing. Suppose your website doesn’t use preload image technique for gallery and a user visits any image gallery from Google Plus or Facebook and visits your website gallery. Then that user always prefer those websites rather than yours. Why? Because your website load one image at a time. When user click on next button, then only gallery load image and user has wait till it get loaded. To avoid this situation gallery needs to download all images ...

JSON Tutorials : Getting Started

JSON is widely accepted text formatted structured data. JSON stands for " JavaScript Object Notation ". In general JSON can represent 1. Object of database record. 2. Object to represent a list of HTML elements. 3. Result of search query. 4. Response of an Ajax call. Here you can see JSON is used in many different areas and for many different scenarios. This means it has simple data structure. most of programming languages adopt it and it can flow easily from one connection to another. You can find JSON office definition here JSON Official Site . JSON is represented by two structural types, which includes two primitive types. Structural types Array : A sequential list of primitive data types between square brackets [ ] Object : Collection of key, value pair stored inside curly braces { }, where value would be primitive data type Primitive types : There are two primitive types key and value. " key " should be string and " value (data type)...
