Often, web applications aren’t deployed to the root path of a web server. Also, often, developers (me included) develop applications with the intent of deploying to the root path.
Overcoming this problem with an Angular app, while also making a local build against IIS Express and a production deploy work, is relatively straight forward.

With a current application project in which I’m using Angular’s built-in currency filter, the value, when negative, was properly enclosed in parenthesis.
However, an Angular update (to v1.5) changed this behavior.

Earlier this week, I needed a way to make users wait for a certain amount of time after performing an action on a web application. The Angular UI progress bar seemed like a fitting method to let the user know their wait time.

In my previous posts regarding advanced Angular navigation, I showed how to create a menu and use the $state provider(s) to track the current state, which menu option is active, and how to move between states using ui-sref. This particular demo used an in-line service called “menuService.”
This is a pretty solid mechanism for navigation, but I wanted to also take a look at doing something similar with the same navigationService, ui-router, and ui-bootstrap tabs.

Continuing the discussion of integrating server-side validation with client-side validation, let’s check out a demo of this in action.
All of the Angular code for this demo has been moved to my general demo Github repository.

SignalR is a nice framework for broadcasting messages to all clients connected to your web server. It also provides mechanisms to allow those clients to send messages to other clients. It’s not “Angular friendly” out of the box, though, since it’s designed more for use with (imho) jQuery. Here’s a simple service that I like to use with SignalR and Angular

Client side validation is pretty handy. However, as we all know, you can’t fully trust any data sent to your server from a web client. As such, we generally duplicate validation in both the client and server side scenarios. This isn’t a big problem, but it does create a disconnect when the client validation passes, but then the server validation fails. Even in duplication, I still want server-side validation to play an integral part of the overall user experience.

I’ve been using the jQuery plug-in “toastr” for quite some time as a basic growl/notification system. As a basic service, it’s dead simple to wire up. If you don’t know what this plug-in does, check out the demo of it.
But, I found that I needed more interactivity than basic hide/show messaging scenarios. I needed to be able to render full templates inside of the toast messages to allow for interactivity bound to DOM events.

Ok, I couldn’t think of a good title for this post. But, I found this concept to be pretty interesting.
Basically, I wanted a directive that would allow me to watch AND set a property as if it were a state changing bool. This needs a bit more explaining, I’m sure.

To make some of the demos I’ve been posting lately, especially Angular and JavaScript demos, easier to download/use, I’ve made a Github repo to house the source and demo code.
