This is a template for experimentation completely copied to a new repo. Goals:

1. set up angularjs
2. set up mocha testing angularjs
3. set up Scala play actors
4. set up gameplay app on top of this platform

This template application shows how to organize your application with Playframework 2, WebJars, RequireJS and AngularJS.

It shows an alternative way of organizing modules than the official Angular-Play-Seed.

For a full explanation, read the following blog post: http://www.mariussoutier.com/blog/2013/08/25/requirejs-optimization-play-webjars/

The updates made for Play 2.2 and newer WebJars are explained here: http://www.mariussoutier.com/blog/2014/03/25/requirejs-optimization-play-2-2-webjars-cdns/

The changes for Play 2.3 and sbt-web will be discussed soon!

The JavaScript modules are organized as follows:

|- app
|-- assets
|--- javascripts    <- contains all the JavaScript/CoffeeScript modules
|---- app.js        <- app module, wires everything together
|---- main.js       <- tells RequireJS how to load modules and bootstraps the app
|---- common/       <- a module, in this case
|----- main.js      <- main file of the module, loads all sub-files in this folder
|----- filters.js   <- common's filters
|----- directives/  <- common's directives
|----- services/    <- common's services
|---- ...

• Load dependencies via sbt update
• Run via sbt ~run
• Go to localhost:9000

This uses the normal JavaScript files and loads libraries from the downloaded WebJars.

Running:

• Run sbt start -Dconfig.resource=prod.conf

Deployment:

• Produce executable via sbt clean dist
• Extract unzip target/universal/play-angular-require-seed-2.x.x.zip
• Run play-angular-require-seed-2.x.x/bin/play-angular-require-seed -Dhttp.port=9000 -Dconfig.resource=prod.conf

This uses the uglified JavaScript files, versioned and compressed assets, and loads WebJars resources from the jsDelivr CDN.

This application is also published as a Typesafe Activator template:
