angular-cache-service — POC for caching data in AngularJS apps

The app doesn't do much, just shows how to write a service with caching capabilities.

This project is based on AngularJS seed to speed up the setup process.

Getting Started

To get you started you can simply clone the repository and install the dependencies:

Prerequisites

You need git to clone the angular-seed repository. You can get git from http://git-scm.com/.

We also use a number of node.js tools to initialize and test angular-seed. You must have node.js and its package manager (npm) installed. You can get them from http://nodejs.org/.

Install Dependencies

We have two kinds of dependencies in this project: tools and angular framework code. The tools help us manage and test the application.

• We get the tools we depend upon via npm, the [node package manager][npm].
• We get the angular code via bower, a [client-side code package manager][bower].

We have preconfigured npm to automatically run bower so we can simply do:

npm install

Behind the scenes this will also call bower install. You should find that you have two new folders in your project.

• node_modules - contains the npm packages for the tools we need
• app/bower_components - contains the angular framework files

other dependencies are the open web API of http://swapi.co.

Run the Application

We have preconfigured the project with a simple development web server. The simplest way to start this server is:

npm start

Now browse to the app at http://localhost:8000/app/index.html.
